| I've never read such a load of tripe. It's amazing what jealousy can do.

| Well why didn't you win the GF then and also what happened in the league game at Widnes. We've had so many bad seasons over the years. Why not let us bask in glory just this once.
As far as Des Johnston is concerned how many Widnes fans actually know him.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

For Des Johnstone to walk into the changing room in the teams Grand Final at half time to talk to the players is the most undermining thing he could do. Who are the players listening too? If Des wants to coach, then get rid of Clark and coach, if you can't - then leave it to the person YOU put in charge!!!'"
To be honest, whatever he said at half-time, it worked!
I really should've been shouting for Barrow yesterday, but I just couldn't. I wanted Halifax to hammer them. I look at their team list and see brown envelopes everywhere.
Toulouse still remain our biggest threat. Barrow won't be ready for a licence in 2012. No chance whatsoever. Then again, I thought the same about Celtic too.

Definitely something not right going on. We should comfortably be able to buy the best players in this division but they're bringing in rooney.

It's a strange one. I'm being serious here but i do wonder how we are able to sign our quality squad players. OK, they're not all superstars but we have some excellent players. Our crowds are nothing special, we don't seem to have a backer (or one which makes it publicly known) and as a club we're on a par with many others in this league. So how do we sign these quality players? Why do they come to Halifax? Why aren't they all clamouring to join Widnes who surely are SL bound? I guess players have different criteria, eg, Paul Smith signed from Huddersfield because he wanted part time, now he's off to Swinton because it's nearer to his job.

| Has it ever occurred to you that apart from the size of a pay packet an employee needs to have the job, prospects etc sold to him.
I felt sorry that Widnes did not get a SL licence but having read the bulk of these messages I'm glad they didn't. Having said that I'm sure they will next time round and I hope they will then realize that life goes on outside SL.You never know but Barrow could be joining you. Who knows?

| Give barrow some credit - they have won the competition for god's sake! I would sooner look at our own weaknesses rather than criticize somebody else - as somebody said earlier, we may be ahead off the pitch but as for on the pitch we certainly are'nt! We cant rest on our laurels - I do think if fax / barrow set the pace in future we may not be considered for SL - the RFL would say "you have'nt even been the best team in your division".
Bask in your success Barrow fans - next season will be here before you know it. Winning the title is easy - it's hanging onto it that's hard.

Sorry, what?
We have been an integral part of this division for years, for better or worse. It isn't us who needs to realise there is life down here.
