another bit of fax making history.....

i thought you had 10 minutes each way before the golden point????

Good effort Fax, done the Championship proud

Best team lost today.................

It was announced over the tannoy that It was to be 10 minutes each way extra time, then just as the game was re-starting it was magically re-announced that it was golden point. 5 tackles (50 seconds) later we'd lost. What a crappy way to end a game. I don't mind losing, but losing under cloak and dagger rules is just the usual 'stuff up' we come to expect of the RFL where the CC is concerned. It would be nice to think that the players knew that it wasn't 10 mins each way?

These rules have existed since last season i think. It was nothing new, although many fans didn't know. Obviously the players knew so that was the main thing.

After such a great game it was sad to see it finish that quickly and without us touching the ball.

It's a shame to lose that way but that's the way it goes sometimes.

another 2 yards on Penky's drop kick we'd have won!

I know and what about the try saving tackling right in the corner with a minute to go. This game had everything and anyone who missed it, has missed some cracking drama.

Shame we were on the wrong end of it.

In an effort to stop some of you guys having an awful night's sleep with the "What if" re the drop goal, remember that they hit the post with that crucial easy looking conversion that would have made it 36-34.

Yeah, ifs and buts and stuff. I'm sure a few things could have been different and gone other ways. Even though we lost, that was by far and away the best game of the season. It even eclipsed the once in a life time win at haven.

I'd have taken that before the start.

Quite right, still what if.....haha.

I won't have an awful nights sleep, it feels strange but doesn't feel like we've lost, certainly a moral victory.

Spot on. So proud of the lads today what an effort

Also, Lee missed a conversion from out wide, would have won us the game with his kicking otherwise

A terrible way to go out very well done fax a great performance

It's a waste of time going on about if's and buts we could go on all night
Cas scored 7 tries to Fax's 5 if all our convertions had gone over Cas would have still won
So let's just say it was a great game and your luck ran out at the end

keep the Faith

golden point is crap. team that kicks off loses. might as well just settle it with the coin toss

Erm, I wouldn't say OUR luck ran out at the end, I'd say you got lucky at the end!

not been funny, but would you have said that if we won??

Actually, yeah. I appreciate that matches have to be settled but to turn a well fought out, even competition into a lottery seems a bit cheap. extra time yes but golden point where in theory only one team should get to play, no. We'd probably have lost with extra time but it would have felt a bit fairer.

i cant go with that,you make it sound like popping a drop goal over from 40 metres out is easy.



i also want to say that i thought your team were fantastic and had great support from the fans,it was a game like no other ive seen although the defences left a lot to be desired lets just say both attacks were in good form.i think golden point was the right way to go you only after go back to last years nl grand final where one team gets a role on like saford did and it takes the shine off what was a fantastic game.

A full time SL Side should have no problem scoring 30-40 points against lower league opposition, but to concede the same...

Most we've scored against a SL side for a while. And I dont think manyu other Championship clubs will manage a tally as high in the remaining games in this round.

Thats what these boards are here for though to discuss the game. We cold talk about it all night and all day, nobodies asking you to join in.

Golden point IMO should only come into play after extra time has been played. Is a gutting way to lose.
