Worrincy got us back in the game. He's spent all week working, not with the lads on a 'training' camp. Got told he wouldn't be playing until last night cus he wasn't able to go with them abroad, can't imagine I'd be too happy with the way I'd been treated by the club if that was me. Don't think its fair to pick any individuals out for todays, especially one who's scored twice to give us a chance of getting something out of the game!

The 1st half performance was disgusting but we was much better in the 2nd half but we really should have killed the game off when we was in the lead but was too dumb to kill the game off. Maybe that week away did have a bad effect for this game but we need to wake up for the game at Whitehaven where I am praying we get the result we need

Frank was also dropped for not attending the training (ahem) camp. Were him and Rob meant to just walk away from their roles in the Community team during half term??

another -ve post from Chris_Smith

Probably not. But if you were coach and you have had a squad of players practicing together for 5 days solid, would you include players that couldnt attend the trip?

They didn't look like they'd been training together for 5 days solid.

Grow up WYT1987!! You not concerned that a player was dropped for not attending a training camp? We missed Frank today I thought and it does concern me getting dropped for that reason when Frank plays a BIG part in developing and enhancing the clubs image to the schoolkids in Calderdale.

so then.. How the hell do you know this was the reason he wasn't playing?

He told you did he??

you dont think he was rested along with Nash etc... !?

Big call by the coach. I certainly think we missed Frank's go foreward today

Well played Batley.

He didnt play against Swinton either, but know one mentioned it. Yes we probably did miss him today. But if he couldnt train with the team for what ever reason, i think the decision to not pick him is the correct one.

Actually one of the back room staff on the coaching team told me...

agree, a player like Frank won't be able to play EVERY game.

But for Chris_Smith to make an antifax jibe about it is poor, it's simple squad management end of.

But he had a solid run out v Swinton and always gives us great go forward when our backs are against it. He was our stand out forward at the back end of last year.

And.....

With perfect logic behind the decision no doubt, so stop making something of nothing and having a dig at the club

What's negative about his post? It's only the truth. You really need to stop trolling on your own team's forum.

It is an antifax jibe in what way exactly?? AntiFax is certainly something I take as a huge insult sunshine!! AntiFax I ain't!!!

He didnt play against Swinton?

Swinton on the brain!! I meant Oldham!!!! Apologies!! Blonde wig off now

WTF?

a blind man can see it was a jibe, making out that Fax don't recognise their community work and holding it against them come team selection.

Anyway this forum has now ended for me, i'm off to join Tony Fax II..

Thanks and goodbye

Adios!! Somebody disagrees with something you say and dummy is well and truly out of the pram!! How on earth was I calling the work the Community team do??

You really need to grow up or grow some

I'm struggling to see where there would be any logic in going into a game with only 2 props.

Meltdown on the fax forum

I bet you're enjoying today aren't you

Awful first half today. So so slow. Slow at reacting, slow moving up in defence and nothing in attack. Second half - completely different but no cigar. This Northern Rail malarky doesn't half cause us some headaches. The one thing we're going to have to learn as Champions - everyone is determined to cause us an upset - to knock us off our perch. You could see that with Batley today - they were so fired up. Constantly driving our players into touch followed by plenty of congratulatory back-slapping.

Wake up call or a sign of things to come? We had a similar start last year but look where we ended up. We have the players to make sure it happens again but please please let's at least progress to the NRC quarters before the "real business" starts and before Vikingman starts wetting his knickers with glee.
