Calm down, were the same INCONSISTENT! all our toys went out the pram earlier on in the season and since then we have bucked up. You'll be reet

You score 42 points and you moan

I'd kill to score that many points in any of our matches remaining

So you let 50 in , so what , you were entertained

Dont forget we scored > 30 points in the 2nd half!

Ged was sweating like a rapist in the last 5 mins.

Wouldn't have thought that 5 mins into 2nd half (10 - 40)

Sorry to say it, Wise Man, but they deserve a bashing. That's the WORST performance in the first half by a Halifax team I care to remember ... UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. We were coming off 2 defeats, had to protect top spot in front of our own fans, yet the effort was a total disgrace, so much so that at half time in the bar me and me mate (no, not jacko) thought there were bouncing cheques or serious changing room bust ups. Nothing at all to do about lack of confidence that showing, it was real bad.

We don't have a hope in hell of reaching the GF, never mind winning it, unless the players stop feeling sorry for themselves and bust a bluddy gut. But if they don't want it, then fair enough, they won't get it. Extremely disappointed with the effort, but funnily enough I don't feel shocked by it.

Short memory - they stuck 50 points up Toulouse 2 weeks ago!
It will click for the play offs, and when it does watch out!

what i dont understand is what happened in those last twenty minutes.
perhaps we thought "thats it , we've lost , so sod it, no pressure on etc"
but in those last 20 mins , we kept hold of the ball , players started running angles , wrenchy and frank had strong runs ,penky and gleason had quick play the balls and we got on a roll. But why - any ideas folks

Whitehaven were totally 'nackered. They had their hands on their knees at the end of the first half ... just shows how bad we were. Also remember that they struggled to beat donny away a couple of weeks ago. Some of you guys sticking up for today's shower of shiite don't appreciate how bad today's effort was.

Oh dear, but I admire your faith. You wasn't that insane bloke applauding the team off at HT by any chance was yer?

I agree with Tonyfax (heaven forbid) hell just froze over.

1 loss is a blip, 2 losses is a slump, 3 is a wake up call that something is not right.

Whoever on here called for Cherryade to be in instead of Wrench is not watching the same game as me. I'm not Wrench's biggest fan, I think he is too small for a prop (look at havens props today) but he at least runs with summat about him and tries.

Worrincy I have felt all season he just aint cut out for it, a flapper is the phrase used, when he gets the ball he either goes 50 yards or knocks on, too inconsistent for my liking.

Quite simply our forwards are bing bullied off the park now, every team knows it and does it well. Watene at the start of the season was doing well and again im not his biggest fan anyway but he seems to have lost his fitness and now offers a ten minute spell and thats it.

Black and Penky are playing crap as they have no forward momentum being laid for them so struggle.

Goddards supposed "best centre outside super league" tag is a joke. Why im not sure, bad service etc?

We had a massive chance to own this league this year and do a Hull KR when they got promoted, yet now we are fast becoming a laughing stock.

Callands country mile comment was a massive mistake and ever since then every team has been fired up against us, hmm I wonder why.

As last season finished and people said oh well ive enjoyed it we got entertained will you say that this year if we win nothing? We had a massive chance to do something special this year and at the moment we have imploded, we don't just lose we are as well with it.

Before when we played crap as a team we had the individuals to get us out of it, now we look like we don't even have that.

No.
Mr Fickle

every1 has a right to an opinion, i just cant see how all this negativity is gonna help anything?

yeah we lost, deserved to, and are in a bad patch, but it has to end soon. we are still the same 17 that played so well early season

Nice to see you agree at last but not so nice to see you have an owl with sunspecs as your avatar rather than that pair of knockers you used to have. BUT ..... what on EARTH is this? Worrincy running 50 yards? When? I've had several "arguments" with me mate (no not jacko) about Worrincy. He thinks he's a workhorse worthy of a place. I think he's crap. Today, he dropped the mother of all howlers in the 1st half, looks so bluddy fragile with the ball in hand (he can't seem to play the bluddy thing right either) and he bluddy INFURIATES ME when he gets the ball and just stands bluddy still, or just walks forward and then grapples with the defenders in a boring "fight" to see how long it is before they pull him to the ground. Don't like bagging individual players, but today I feel really pist off, more than usual, so much so to say Worrincy is our worst signing this season by a country mile.

PS, Sorry Rob if you read these MBs, but I really wish you'd run hard and strong , you're a big lad, use it man!!

Ross Strudwick would have been delighted!

As has already been said, we looked a lot more balanced and threatening side when Govin was put at 6, Penky wears 9 and should ONLY play there.

Charlesworth should be put in on the wing for Worrincy, he looks like he's never played a game of rugby in his life and has no confidence at all which is a great shame.

As usual we only seem to come alive when the game is lost. It would have been a travesty had Gleeson managed to hold on in that last second. Haven really did their homework, played a simple, effective game, the forwards dominiated ours and they peppered Worrincy with kicks all day long and reaped the rewards, they deserved the win.

Don't you lie Tony, you know you were with me and my mate Bingo at the time.

Seriously, on this topic and the one about booing I am caught between the 2. I stayed a long time after the game yesterday (at least I am off today, unlucky Bingo) and I can uderstand everyone's frustration. I agree that fans should be allowed to show the team what they think, as long as it is not malicious then that is their view and they have paid their money.

Lets just make sure we are still there supporting them and encouraging them and not go over the top with the booing. They are going to need all the support they can get in the next 4 games !!!

Come on lads you can turn it around.

Sxxt or Bust is obviously the best way for fax to play,too much pressure and expectation seems to build up especially at home.Second half when the game was basically over lo and behold,no pressure,no expectation,no more dropped balls no more whitehaven,therefore just go out and play sxxt or bust rugby.

forgot the one at the end....

Are you talking about Beswick or Bannister there??




As the fans from other clubs would expect us to say due their lack of any geographical knowledge....

Calm down.. calm down..

I think there are a few problems there at the club but you have players that have real quality who are lacking in confidence from the sounds of things. You've got a very very winnable game next time out and I think this will be just the tonic for you boys.

A classic Ross Strudwick comment



Totally agree on Worrincy, shocking under any ball, the seagulls will target him all day.

I see Penky has come in for a lot of stick too on several different threads and I dished my fair share of stick out yesterday at the game but having watched the tries on the courier website he was instrumental in several of the tries so probably doesn't deserve as much stick as he is getting!!

Having just watched the video I think you are right, he definately played a part in several of the tries, but all we remember is the blunders he made when picking up the ball.

Straw clutching.....

Whitehavens second try of the second half was a mile offside.

Watching the video, I also think penky tore them apart in the last 20 mins

penky is god!

Does that make him Wrenchy's dad then ?

Wrnechy was our best forward last Sunday. His footwork was great when he made a try in 1st half & especially when he took the ball up from our 20 in the 2nd. Lets hope all the other forwards are shamed into raising their game for this Thursday!
