Branno kicking ?

According Radio Leeds and RFL site Mate

Yeah, I've got sky sports score centre open at the moment, it says Bulls have lost at Cas, maybe this could be the catalyst for results to go our way today, or maybe not in your case, Herr Coops.
Expect a call this week of my mate who would like to chat to you re: Business.
I've passed on your details to him, cheers bud.

Fax win followed by a German is still the order of the day mateicon_wink.gif

Very disappointed. There is no way we should be losing to Dewsbury with the players we have on paper. Seriously we need a coach who can fire his team and players who can tackle and follow a game plan. Sooner Calland goes for me the better.

Going backwards fast

Time for change

Calland surely as to go now...with no disrespect to Dewsbury we should not be losing games like this. The sooner calland leaves the more chance Fax have playing to their true potential.

With the side we have we should not be giving away point by not being able to do the basics, such as field a kick off. Yet we keep doing to week after week. There is an obvious lack of effort and what seams to be a lot of unrest in the camp (if the rumours are to be believed). It's time the board got a grip and made some tough decisions. The longer they leave it the lower the crowds will get. All this is undermining all the hard work of the last few years.

One can only dream

I am not a "get rid of Calland" person.

But we desperately need to do something about the shocking shocking defence we have. We look really good going forward, but we just cannot defend. 37 points from a bottom of the table team is an absolute disgrace.

Fair play to Dewsbury, they played some flowing rugby, but come on we missed tackle after tackle.

While Calland does not miss the tackles he should have a defence system that works! Since he has started its been the same old regarding defence. Now I feel Calland has had long enough to do something about it. He has brought in many players and still the old faults remain. I blame the players for missing the tackles but I blame Calland for having no idea on how to get his team to defend and to adjust for various teams.

Just got back . Was amazed too see we had 6 props in our 17. I presume both Roberts and bowman were injured along with penny and patterson. In these conditions surely you have to play the more mobile players as dewsbury did. Also how many times did we screw up at restarts

Fax and England have something in common, good team on paper but cannot defend for the life in them.
Capello and Calland, both out of a job soon.

3.

In a row.

Absolute tripe served up for those of us who dragged our asses to Dewsbury. Defensively woeful, letting man after man bounce away from awful one armed attempted grab tackles. Offensively easy to read, one out rugby.

I refuse to get into the Calland bashing, thats not my style and I respect the man too much to slag him off on an internet forum. Some of those lads need to give there heads a shake. Some of them blatantly couldn't give a rats ass about the club and the sooner there shown the door the better.

why have black on bench only to give him 15 mins at the end,if he is not fit he is not fit.what a joke,ridiculous!!

Could only muster up 17 fit players, even James Haley was struggling to be 18th man today.

Getting bored of excuses about fitness and peolpe standing up to be counted when injured. Matts used every excuse in the book, hell probably use this team is too good not to get it right sooner or later again.

Not giving excuses, I'm as cheesed off as the rest of the Faxfans, the 17 we could put out should still have been good enough to come away with a win.

To be honest I think that is the best we have played all season, better than the near misses against Widnes & Fev, a real sow of pride (unlike the round ball jessies).
To be fair it must have been so tough on both sets of players out there in midday temps hitting 25oC +

I have it on very good authority that there was nothing wrong with James.

Where's Roberts, is he another that is not one of Calland pals, so is overlooked every week?

if its true about Gene then we deserve suing for breach of contract.

"I have it on very good authority that there was nothing wrong with James."

Do you mean Haley? If so your wrong mate, hes not fit.

If what's true about Gene? Which rumour is this one as the one I heard today was that he had instructed his agent to find him another club so how are Halifax RLFC in breach of contract?

He'll go to Barrow and score the try that dumps us out of the play-offs. You heard it here first!

He reckons he is fit to play so whats going on? Stanley Gene, fantastic career but its ending under a cloud after signing for us. What a way to treat a player of that calibre. Only Callands mates respect him, the rest of the players dont rate him one iota and are quite willing to tell people this in public. Theres no cash to pay him off so i guess we are stuck with him. Dam shame really as with this team we should be in the running for trophys. How long before it goes pop?
