was like watching two different sides . thought we were going to sneak the bonus point

Well, first half I think we contributed to 5 out of their 6 tries giving away stupid penalties & knocking on.
Halifax are a good side but we didnot respect the ball.

We played better in the 2nd haf & took charge when Fax were down to 12 men.

I'm sorry but something has got to change; we can't keep making excuses; we played well, , unfortunate, good effort, strong performance etc etc etc.

We are second bottom of the league and no signs that we will not drop further! There has to be changes soon or forget staying in this league.

6 defeats on the trot and another two to come in the league before things can get better.
That side was an inferior side to that fielded against Sheffield.
Miller may disagree, but it was.
Cooke was one dimensional again.
Has he an alternative to kicking the ball high and hoping for a lucky break?
I know he has somewhere.
The difference between the two sides was the ZZZZZZIIIIIIPPPPPPP of Halifax.
Once it gets to Cooke the zip has gone.
Sorry Paul, but please let's have a bit more than just passing the ball along the line and high kicks.
And what on earth has happened to Fawcett??

time to admit that some players just aren't good enough in this league.
powley brings nothing to the team. can't pass and rarely tackles.
waternan frustrated me today..is it so difficult to just run without a hop skip & jump first?
felt sorry for the young winger today. that mistake must really have really played on his mind but he picked himself up and played well..
usual players had good games..always same players emmett kesik spurr. also think kyle trout was good.

I think Powley would benefit some time in an U20 side. Kesik & Emmett as hookers .

I am sure we will turn this around the top 5 are pulling away but after that we can compete but it must be for 80 mins.

First half was total and utter e and I like Stand offish was thinking about leaving at half time, but i decided to stay and see what the second half would bring. Second half was a massive improvement and imo the lads did them selves and us as fans proud. Some other teams would have collapsed in the second half and lose by a big margin but the lads took the game to Halifax and were unlucky not to have come away with a bonus point. Thought Cooke took control of the game in the second half and produced two marvellous try assists, Adam Scott was sensational when he came on and Leafy (MR DONS) gave his all. Cnt afford to give Fev the same head start. Waterman back to Centre and Butts at full back for me. COYD DONNYTILIDIE

So Cooke is the new GH? He is not the problem he tries to get things moving but no good if the players around him take the wrong options. We won the second half 16. Nil and few sides will come close to that. What he needs is a clever no7 to work alongside and we don't have one and Goulding was not the answer either. We need to stop giving away silly penalties a number of which resulted in tries and it was the same at seagulls. Agree with the comments re Powley and assume Edwards omission was due to injury and after a great performance by Butts on Friday he surely earned a place today. Cooke is not the problem but TM needs to give the half time team talk before the first half!

I think we need some continuity in team selection(barring injuries) now that Easter is out of the way !

And of course who Wakefield back this week.
