Littlerich you should look what you post as comments like that don't give your club supporters credit

As for the game you like us want to win all the time but people need to remember where here to be shot down and last night it was you. If you rember back to the start of the season most of you said you had a very strong squad and your forwards were the best in the league As a fan of Fev I still see you as a top team and could possibly take our shield and the GF trophies off Sheffield There's a long way to go get to your next match win it and all will be well I'm sure the players will stand up to the mark

Sometimes you have to speak their language to get the point across.

after watching you the other week against us my conclusion was some of your forwards wernt fit enough to play at the pace the game was played at and that was ultimatly the reason we won. After watching last night i saw nothing to change my opinion i reckon some of them would struggle to do 80 mins in the pennine premier div and i seriously mean that

what the helllls worancy doing attempting to drop forwards off near his own line

I find your “thicko miners” comment deeply offensive, my grandfather worked underground for over 50 years. Have you ever spent 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, underground, without toilets, running water, hot drinks, unable to have meat in your sandwiches because it would rot in the atmosphere you were working in?
Attempt to banter about Rugby all you like, I will ignore you, but do not denigrate people who risked their lives daily so you could be snug and warm in your home.

To be fair the comment was directed to the "few" who take great delight, beyond what is normal banter whenever anything negative happens against Halifax and "only" Halifax Rugby league club and it's supporters and has nothing to do with anyone else past or present.

However on that point since it has been raised I am sure we all owe a great debt to past family members who made sacrifices for their families and others but with respect it is hardly relevant here.
The responsibilty for the conditions in the mines and other industries lies with others.

The "few" hate mongerers aren't exactly flying the flag of their former or present community and cause just as much offense as anyone else.

However they are never wrong and it's always someone else that is responsible and that's why they carry on with more of the same.

I saw the game basically like this, Dewsbury were as good as they could be and out enthused Fax for most of the game! They had a game plan and it worked, fair play to them and good luck to them for the rest of the comp. As far as Fax as are concerned we made too many errors and failed to control the game! We only really looked like we could damage Dewsbury in the last 10 minutes of both halves. We still could have won the game but probably didn't deserve it in the end.

On another note, if we are playing the game to the rules, it was 100% a deliberate knock on by the Dewsbury winger on the last play of the game and it should have been a penalty to Fax, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles!

Cry me a river.

Yep certainly was. I just wonder if anyone who has it on tv can watch the kick through in the last 2 minutes where the Dewsbury player kicks it and it richochets off our player and the Dewsbury player comes up with the ball, first thing was the Dewsbury player offside at the kick and was he within 10 yards of the player it hit? For me we wernt getting a penalty for a deliberate knock on but my initial view of that kick was it should have been a penalty to us for the Dewsbury player been offside and within 10 metres when it hit our player. Would be interested if someone could confirm or not.

I think there's a lot to criticise the ref for. There always is but in the main the defeat lies with our own poor performance. There's no getting away from that. I don't think it's season ending though. We have to make that top spot our own from here on in. It's going to be tough - and so it should be. Something won with sweat and tears is far more worthy.

Up the Fax!!!

We didn't deserve to win, but it should have been a penalty for the deliberate knock-on in the last play of the game.

I can't believe the negativity on this thread. Yes we have lost a couple of important games recently but hey can we please remind ourselves that:

"WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE"

Amen to that.

Were you expecting people to be jumping around in celebration. We went out of the cup that we were the holders of in what is basically the first round with a wimper, people are bound to have an opinion.

keith holden was brought in to the squad and was 18th man, if things carry on ide give keith a go at hooker because he is smashing it with the 20s,if he could make the step up we would have to see

Its not the loss that is the problem its the manner of the losses that me and others are not happy with. We look like a team who dont care and one that is clueless both in attack and defence without Murrell. We have halfbacks who simply struggle to create. We have some backs that are as fast as props and struggle to score. I was certainly not getting excited when we was winning 60 odd against Dewsbury and Leigh. The same problems from last year are still there now. Personally I dont think we stand a chance of Silverware if Murrell misses games. Without him we have no leadership or ideas. Some players for me have shown next to nothing despite being here for 2 seasons now.
I understand the U20s have many young players some of whom are injured. But when Holden and Walker have played they have done OK and atleast shown enthusiasm-something lacking recently. Mistakes we all have made them. But its the lack of interest and doing the basics which is the problem for me not the results

Well!!! have we all got things off our chest now


Maybe coming to the realisation that we have had a mid season blip and our squads not infallible, cover is thin at halfs and 9, and Murrell is the orchestrator and chief of our on field ambitions.
As far as the league goes were in a good position now, Fev and Sheffield have distractions, we should have players coming back to fitness, Karl now knows that anything but first choice in some keys areas doesn't work and the players now know that anything but committed, disciplined and composed rugby with a bit of urgency to get up and play the ball quickly just wont cut it at this level. I still think we'll win the league shield, the GF is another matter though, Fev and Sheffield have game breakers and people that can run the show more consistently than our lads 'at present'.
I expect Karl to already be shoring up our weaknesses behind the scenes, but it will have to stay behind the scenes, Oh and Gorgeous George! well I too wonder whether he hates us because he was once bullied by a lad from Fax as a kid

but the reality is most likely that referees all ref a slightly different way, some are keener on certain areas than others, Im afraid in all sports you have to do your homework on refs and play them as well. With some its, taking sides back, offsides, others its tackle technique, forward passes, play the balls, standing square. George allows sides to slow the game down too much for me and I think that frustrates us and we get pinged for silly stuff and lose our edge and field position at critical times. Im getting tired of a lot of refs for allowing 3rd and 4th men to come in once the tackle is complete and slow the play down even more, we've have to be smarter in the contact area when George refs.

The point I'm making is that the best prospects usually sign to $uperleague clubs' Academies. Not all of them make it. If you look at who the Championship clubs sign up, there are more $uperleague rejects than Championship hopefuls.

Just my interpretation of the facts. You'll no doubt have your own.

Get the picture now F4L?
Fax lose, we chuckle..
Fev lose, you chuckle more....
It's the rules owd cocker!!!

Er I might to myself but I don't go gloating on here or anywhere else you might notice but don't let that stop you having a dig anyway.

Got chance to watch the game last night and we should have had a penalty when the Dewsbury player was offside after the ball hit our player and the guy was inside 10. It would have been kickable. Also one of Dewsbury`s tries would probably have been given as a knock on but Stokes decided it wasnt relevant to go to the screen for a change.

To me to you style ? The chuckle brothers hahaha

I can live wi it Colin. It's all part n parcel of the game.... always has been. I was quick of the mark on Thursday when Dews shoved it up you lot. Then, I was chuckling my bits off at your texts last night 5 mins from the end of the game, and at the end of the game, and in the car on the way home, and whilst I was having me tea, and on facebook in the evening, and again this morning etc etc etc






What I can't do with is the morngy sanctimonious accusations of childishness aimed at one set of fans whilst conveniently ignoring that fans of his own club do exactly the same.

It's all part of the fun pal & I totally agree with you. I hope you were *hands-free* in the car LOL.
After thursday night's loss i was thinking i'll meet you & the lads for a few beers if you get to the final & then beggar off home while you go to the Shay.

Plan A ( us winning the cup ) GONE
Plan B ( meet you lads for a drink before the NRC final ) GONE
Plan C ??????

Barry Chuckle lives just at the back of us.... our Ellie used to deliver papers to their house!!!!
