Our last home game of a memorable season coming up this Sunday. There will be a big crowd and a great atmosphere for this one. What a chance to give our lads a great send off for the season they have given us. Let's hope the town turns out and give's the rhinos and Rugby League a taste of what Halifax RLFC is all about. We've had great support, especially away from home this year, let's hope we get The Shay rocking and enjoy our last home day this season. My head says Leeds will be too good for us but my heart says our boys will put up a real show and we will do it. So..Fax 28v22 Leeds it is then. Up The Fax!

Be interesting to see how many loiners take this in.Sold 1k so far lets hope they get 2/2500 and we get 4k plus.As for the score they'll probably reverse the 42 point spanking we gave them one heady day at the Shay 20 years ago..

Fev got 5,500 against them last year so I would be disappointed if we don't match that. Bring a friend. Up The Fax!

INwOUT
Who ya taking Pete?

I might let owd lass come. Lol! Lad and some of his mates may make an appearance. Looking forward to it.

relishing the thought of the day , the atmosphere and the crowd. Fearing the worst on the pitch because the ease at which we can be drawn in to leVe the gaps is frightening. They have Jimmy Lowes so let's hope he writes their game plan this week . I think Murrell is in for a torrid afternoon being exposed for pace. . He will need to play every card he has in his back pocket to get through is my opinion. If we can get 4000 plus crowd it's a massive financial boost which helps us to crown the season financially intact and build into next year with the rumoured proposed additions to the squad and develop the key youngsters. Though the Welsh lads slotted in with ease last week. Long may their development continue

Grix not in squad again which will be a miss.Must have missed the Wood injury as he's absent again.Tyrer back in squad,possible swansong ? as we need to improve centre's next season....

More likely Heaton.

I'm sure Tyrer is signed for next seaon. We missed him badly down our left flank at Widnes where they scored all their tries. Best defensive centre in the championship.

Saltonstall the scapegoat for last week I see.

Hardly a scapegoat. Cost us three try's.

He's come running inside and cost us a few tries in the last few weeks. Leeds would focus on that and goad him in again. long pass over his head and in goes the winger again ...........

I love Salty, he's a reet good 'un but he got done up like a kipper last week so had to pay the price I'm afraid

Great performances by the championship clubs so far this weekend with 3 out of 3 against the SL. Come on Fax, make it a FULL HOUSE which could also drag the whinos into the million pound game





Come onnnnnnn. Up the Fax!

London and Toulouse seem to have really kicked on which makes our performances all the more disappointing. It almost feels like we are due to put a performance in as for me we have not done nearly as well as we did at the back end of the championship season. Leeds are really poor this season so I guess if we get within 30 points of them we will have done ok but to get closer than that would be impressive.

I was that the o e the week before we played you in the playoffs and sent a reserve side, could. It back it up the week after against the full Leeds side. Remember the 70 point thumping we gave you the season after.
Actually miss Hall fax in super league thought they were going to be our big rival after the bulls throughout the new millennium, shame neither are at the top table, but looking forward to our little no overdue visit back to the shay.

Does Morgan punchcard still play for fax.

No mate, he went to Australia earlier this year and has signed for Fev for next season.

Could be another thumping today as well to be honest, we were defending quite well for the bulk of the season and had a problem scoring.
Now we seemed to have dropped of in defence but still can't find the try line.

As last year it does really start to show to accumulative effect of the effort taken by Fax as a part time team first of all to get into the top 4 and then to be competitive especially against the full time SL sides, the boys get all banged up.

At least we will have a bit more income from the game.

Today is a strange one for me. As much as I yearn for Fax to do well and return to the top flight, it just feels like another inevitable hiding-to-nothing again. On that basis I just cannot bring myself to go watch us massage the egos of a team who are (or were as once was the case) basically as big as us if not slightly bigger.

The rugby in our league is far more watchable and the 8s much more exciting than the 'Super 8s' or whatever is it called however to be anything other than top flight is simply galling after ONE bad season then 'close the door on the way out as you will not be allowed to return'!! as effectively did happen.

The game is a MESS and promoting the ghost-train that is "expansion" [ironic and sad smile is just hammering more nails into the sports coffin.

Ultimately FAX need someone with money and whilst NPD are doing a fantastic job, we need someone who has blue and white blood in their veins accompanied with either a large cheque book or a huge talent for generating wealth/income.

Sorry to be negative guys and who knows - a miracle MAY happen but the way people are saying it is an 'honour' to be playing Leeds just leaves me feeling sad,desperate and reflective in equal measure.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy....

Ahh ok, was a good kid, but maybe a bit too much like his dad as he got into adulthood, used to play with his dad, who is a bit older than me, And Morgan used to watch us play and play touch with us as a kid.

Yes, had a few of us thinking he could be a good player for us, a bit of pace and a good pass but didn’t show consistently enough in the early season friendlies and reserves for RM’s liking so decided to move on.
I think Fev will be a good move for the lad and wish him well.

Yes for me had had potential could prove to be the one we should have given more of a chance to

For me we never looked like getting a result. We have noone really who looks likeley to make a break, and if they did nobody to back them up.

You can't fault the players because most of them try their hearts out but the spark is not there to light the fuse.

At least they enjoyed our singing and said it was a great atmosphere. Also said our ground is definitely SL ready.
