4 points up, shud of kicked ball in to corner and killed the game off! played safe rugby yet again and it back fired!! i am gutted

Well said mate! Its been a fantastic season and im proud to be a Faxlad

didn't bomb it - just unlucky on the night. Perhaps barrow were a bit more composed when they had possession near our line.

And some of the crucial calls didn't go our way. Ref didn't have a bad game but on another day, he'd have called them for a forward pass (final one to ballard) for the 2nd try, and i think the 2 penalties to piggy back Barrow up the field before their 3rd try were a bit soft. Even for the last try he should ave gone to screen and they would have seen the Barrow player on the floor "tacking" paul smith off the ball.

Lets not forget we lost penky for most of the game. And in my view it was a bit of a cheap late tackle after he had got the ball away. The Barrow player saw him off load but still went through and twisted him over.

But the effort was there and after the last few months, it was good to see that fighting spirit return inthe last few games and more structure to our game. We even did our homework on Fev and Barrow in the way we played them. And it nearly paid off in the end.

Good couple of entertaining games of rugby league yesterday.

Sorry guys, i think we can do better...
I dont think as a club we should settle for semi finals and losing in grand finals at this level.. Were Halifax RLFC, we need to aim higher.
I think its disapointing, and i hope the players and staff feel the same, we should give pats on backs when we win something.
Yesteday summed our season, Rooney and his big pack have something we don't. and its nothing to do with Des. They played simple rugby off the back of a platform.
We should not be happy that we have yet again won nothing, we should aspire to be the best in league.
harsh lessons to be learnt by players and coaches, not good enough, end of....

Im not settling for being in the semi's or losing the GF,just appreciate that after some of the dross that we've seen down at the Shay in the last 10yrs then we have improved & it's a hell of a platform to continue building upwards from.

Remember where we were 5 years ago though, we almost got relegated again. I appreciate you want us to be succesful as we all do, but lets walk before we can run.

Next season we'll have a complete ground to play in and hopefully go one step further.
