I don't think Fax could play any better than last night,raised their game against a Super league side short on confidence at the moment but were still beaten by 28 points.Yes there were mistakes through out the 80mins and yes I did put my head in my hands on several occasions ,but a wins a win

By the way,did anyone else see the numpty Fax fan at HT gesturing to the East stand supporters as he walked by.Had a haircut only your mum would give you to go to school with

It was appalling until Wakefield got the confidence. That came when the team settled and stopped trying to force things.
You will have been pleased to note Owen had an excellent game and most things creative came from Smith.
I really don't understand the Smith bashing, I've said it before him and Ali are the only truly creative players we have.
Without Smith Wakefield would have lost last night!

Owen has given 100 % for the team this year. Tim Smith is the most talented player the club has had on the books in the SL era : he needs willing runners and a 6 that is prepared to take on the line. McShane and Ali are very good. All creative players need players around them who are prepared to graft, run the correct lines, support the playmakers etc etc. Our main problem is the game plan and the players attitude to defending.

Wakefield were a class above Fax last night, I thought we matched you or even beat you on effort but there was no denying the gulf in quality. Wakefield are by far the best team we have played this season and I doubt you would have to worry about Bradford in the middle 8 because they are nowhere near the standard on show last night and I think it will boil down to Wakefield Vs Leigh for the SL place.

Thanks for that.
Fax did themselves credit last night, as did their fans.
Having said that, our forwards totally bossed the game and most of Halifax's progress up the field was on the back of Wakefields many mistakes.
I don't think that you finished a set in our half, unless field position had been gifted.

Great effort though and good luck for the rest of the season

If Tim Smith is this year's scapegoat, God help us!

Sammut will never get a fair crack while Webster is in charge. He had the ideal opportunity to try something different last night and refused to do it. Good idea to play Ali for almost all match before Wigan on Thursday don't you think. The scoreline flattered Wakefield and although a Wildcats fan two of their tries were from forward passes. Hope they don't get a big club in next round.

If Webster had experimented last night and we had lost, the forum would be in meltdown.

As a club we have to get better at bringing the youngsters through but, after a run of 8 straight losses and the "challenge" of one of the top Championship sides, it was far more important to get the "W" and hopefully start and re gain some much needed confidence.

Both Riley and Miller look like shadows of the players from the first couple of games and this is purely down to low confidence.

Everyone knew how tough this season was going to be and many got carried away with things after our two opening wins.
11 weeks in and we know it will be a struggle till the end of the season but, at least we are still in the cup and we are back to winning ways !

Riley only looks a shadow because Arundal is next to him. Reece LYnn and Riley were very solid. Arundal looks shocking.

Quote asmadasa="asmadasa"When the team is winning 18:10 there is no need shouting abuse at your own players then cheering the opposition running the ball in. ...If it's led to that much negativity save the money and don't go to the game. Thought Owen also had a good game today taking his tries well and running the ball up hard with often 3 players in tackle to stop him going forward. Summed up fairly well below thought Fax forwards tired 15 mins into second half www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/sport/h ... -1-7216566'" Surprise surprise. As Richard Marshall said, most of our team were cleaning windows and climbing on roofs most of Friday. It is simply not a level playing field. That said, the RFL clearly do not like Fax and we cannot help that. I thought your attacking looked sharp last night but inevitably, Fax tired as we did against Sadford - that is the way it will be unfortunately. Enjoyed visiting Belle Vue - just how it should be always was! Until it is a level playing field though, we will not be able to compete for the full 80 or even 60. Good luck turning your season around guys. Great club and great fans.

So it was arundals fault riley dropped 2 high bombs that both led to try's?

We know only too well your frustration,if you play like you did last night you'll win he'll of a lot more than lose.
