Now you know how it feels to be a Widnes fan this year, bloody poop isnt it.

Change that to Black.

To be frank, does it really matter ? You can stay top all season THEN loose in the play offs - Top will count for nothing until the final hooter of the Grand Final.

Oh no you still have our sympathies VM!! - This was only a blip for us - we will turn it around on Thurday!

ah well i suppose hes allowed one off game every 14 or so

Well us loosing today doesnt matter then - however you seem to think it does?

Make your mind up "son"

It was quite simple really, Sheffield played to their potential, chasing the ball making tackles and taking their chances. Halifax did very little right.

The only bright point was Miles getting a hat-trick. When we lost black we looked even worse. Hopefully Gleeson will bring a bit of order back to things because we looked slow and without a clue at times.

Well done Sheffield, they deserved the win. The better side on the day won.

I must say after getting back to 16-16 it looked like we'd go on from there. However for Larder to throw the ball away on our line showed that we weren't prepared to play sensible rugby in bad conditions and we need a bit of thought and order at times.

Hopefully playing Doncaster on Thursday will allow us to quickly get back in order and get some form back.

The best side won! It was like a different Fax side turned up to play, and Sheffield defence looked pretty impressive. I'm sure Thursday will see us return to form!

Where were the bad conditions? I thought it was only drizzeling until the end of the game.

Their forwards bossed ours to-day.

yep we lost 1 game. doncaster could be on for a backlash on thursday. didnt make much differnce because widnes and barrow both lost widnes have still played 2 games more.

yes poor performace today but we dont play well in the rain well done sheffield played some good stuff.

dont know how we can knock on when they had the ball though explanasion please ref.

we are still top and we will be back on song on thursday dont worry. now get back to your own board we losgt 1 game its a bit sad for you that you have to come on here and celebrate us losing 1 game. who do you support anyway.

Sorry, my bad wet conditions then. However they aren'y perfec t conditions to play rugby in and if you read the point HALIFAX didn't play rugby to suite it.

If we dont play well in rain it might be a good idea to try sort this out. Rain in the UK is not afamiliar!

sheffield was up for it halifax clearly wasn't , black had a shocker but every one does now and again,

i personally thought worrency had a great game today i wish he would back him self on the wing every week like he did today

full credit to sheffield well done

te ref had a shocker the worst we have had this year,

Credit to Sheffield, played an excellent kicking game and looked very entusiastic. This was their big match to get back into contention from their poor start to the season and they needed a win. Aston seems to get his teams up for certain games and this was one of them. A very bad day at the office some players looked as if they'd done a 12 mile run preceeding this match, no spark whatsover. Lets get it out of the way every team will have at least one poor game and now roll on Thurs to put it straight.

The ref was a bit fussy, but ok
sheffield were great
Halifax were abysmal, the score flattered them

Looks like you lot peaked too soon

Yer it was a tad dissapointing the ref giving the penalty against Penky for 'headhigh' when he missed the man which then lead to their 5th and crucial try but hey think we'd have lost anyway.

We'll still beat you lot

Hands up we were rubbish. But every team now plays like Haven against us - spoiling tactics. It's annoying.

Defensively we were shocking - black had his poorest game for fax ; as did most others - at least Worrincy tried to make good yards.
full credit to sheffield - they wanted it more, played the right tactics ; their kicking game was spot on - fully deserved their win.
just heard mc on radio.gracious in defeat.
blacks gone to hospital for an x-ray on his leg - hope its just precautionary.

Yes every coach in the division will be queing up for the video of this game.
How to beat Halifax ? Get in their faces so they can`t play.
Sheffield deserved the win and sorry I don`t think we deserved a bonus point either.
I thought Worrincy had a good game ,Black had a shocker could have done with going off earlier ,then he could have sorted his head out and wouldn`t have got injured.
Their forwards had ours well beat too and what`s all this about us not being able to play well in the rain ? They are not a bunch of Show Ponies if they can`t play in the rain it`s time to pack in.

We were always going to lose a match lets hope this is the only one.

Terrible, that sums up todays performance.

Well done Sheffield, far superior in every department.

Our players do make life hard for themselves a lot of the time, even in games we win. Today we'd just got back to 16-16, Thamgart takes the ball up from the kick off, he's got 4 men around him so tries a ridiculous offload and we lose the ball. People will say this is how we play and we have to expect mistakes with the style we play but maybe we have to learn when to adapt to the conditions/circumstances and play a different style.

Then with about a minute or 2 to go Paterson tries a little chip over the top and Sheffield catch the ball and then go down the other end and score again to deny us a bonus point. Even if we had regained the ball and scored there wouldn't have been enough time for us to score again.

I'm disappointed we lost but not surprised, think we got out of jail at Barrow and Fev. The important thing now is how we react, look at Manchester United, they lost at fulham about 8 matches ago and then won 7 on the trot from then. Thats what champion teams do.

Overall a poor day at the office but i'll still be there at Donny on Thursday hopefully watching my team bounce back.

It was nice to see Gibbo roll back the years and score a good try too.

lets be honest about it this can only be excellent news for the rest of the league,at least it'll wipe the smirk off Martin Halls fizzog
