It might be on the radio with the Whinos trying to play on Saturday against Toulouse. That will be an interesting game as well.

Must be a typo then...canoes don't travel on rail lines, but if I head south on Lake Huron, pass Detroit, then navigate the rest of the Great Lakes and get into the St. Lawrence River, blow past Montreal and Quebec City and head south once I hit the east coast I'll make Halifax yet! Just hope its the right Halifax and I make it before game time.
Look at the problems a typo can cause!
Should be a good game....still can't believe its not televised....

Will Maher in the Cas squad for their game on Friday against Wigan.

Will has been going well for us, happened before though so still not certain he won’t be available.

With Tangata out we may see Baldy get a run.

Will has done well for Fax but this DR really has turned out to be very annoying. It's bonkers that Cas can just include a Fax regular in their squad. Thought DR worked in Fev's favour a couple of years ago when they played Golding, Mulhally, Baldwinson and Ormonroyd against us to qualify but generally I think we're better off without it.

Anyway, looking forward to watching Widnes-v-London and Leeds-v-Toulouse. A real good tester to see if Champsionship clubs really can give SL a game, or whether we're all abit too confident. This is what the bookies think:

London given 10 points start against Widnes
Toulouse given 16 points start against Whinos
Fax given 10 points start against Toronto

london have been going very well so could see them having Widness. . Leeds depends on just how low their confidence is and how the match goes for the first 15 . Halifax will have to match the Fev performance to get a result I feel .

Good call(and spelling

) and last night should lift any psycological barrier for the Championship.After all the hype it would be great if the mounties were the only championship side to lose this weekend...

Ha! My bones say a fax win tomorrow roll up everyone and get shouting offside ! Wingers stay wide on Liam Kay please he likes to stay wide and wait for the long cut out pass. He needs hitting hard (fairly ) early on moss will have to be on his toes to cover.

Well you'll be watching on your own in an empty stadium. I, however, will be going on Sunday and it'll be nice not to be a nervous wreck even though I obviously still want Fax to win well. I think Toronto will do as Leigh did 3 years ago when they (under Rowley) choked it bad finishing bottom when they were expected to challenge for SL.

That may be the case but you’d think Rowley will have learned from that experience, he learned enough to get out of Leigh and away from DB.

If we beat Toronto, I cant see why not, I think they will struggle because if their promotion hopes start looking uncertain a lot of player will bee looking for clubs back in the UK. They wont want another year back and forth while playing in the Championship. Should be a belter of a match.
UP THE FAX!

Should have kept stum..he would have paid to watch the mighty Shaymen too...

Squad announced for Sunday.

In - Baldwinson, Wood
Out - Fleming (terms of the transfer deal), Grix,

Grady and Salty were the non playing squaddies against Rochdale, and are again named this week

Referee - Kendall

Reading round the various internet fora, I’m just wondering whether all those fans the bulls lost have moved to Toronto and now support the Wolfpack.

Just an observation....

whisper on the wind is the Caton Brown wont play sunday as twp haven't paid a promised fee to wakefield. Arrogance from toronto again

-

Hope your lot knock ten shades of e out of them.

All the best today, hope you hammer them.

(I'll be keeping one eye on your score whilst we play Sheffield)

Good luck

Im not sure he were named in the squad.

Nervous today, this one there for the taking.

A bit of pre match nerves are always good. No need for all-bran today. . A day not to leave anything left in the tank just go for it . Cool heads and steely determination to punch way above ourselves. Basics right, try get field position then anything goes-and unload the guns GLA.

Toronto were very well structured and error free. I am afraid we were not quite at the races today but you couldn't fault the effort . A bit more guile in attack required and never playing in the right part of the field to maintain pressure. To me they were there to be taken but we couldn't put it together in their 22. Still think you should always take 2 when its a gift just to get the board ticking . It would have been better than finishing with nil.

Disappointed in the result but worth the entrance fee for the effort. Been a long time since I have seen a Fax side play with so much heart and well done for not getting rattled at Toronto’s grubby tactics.

Shame the attack didn’t click answer don’t know why they kept going at them with the same plays. You could see pretty early that they had done their homework, so we needed something else today and to keep calm. Still, if they learn they will pick up points from other teams.

Up the Fax

Missed Grix badly today.

Effort is there as it has been all season but our skill levels let us down at key times over and over again. We probably won't win a game in these qualifiers but hopefully this year it will be obvious to the coaching staff after the 7 games where the team needs improvement and investment can be made as we are not that far away. We would have got away with todays performance against Toulouse and London at home but we could have played all day and not scored against a good team.

Very unfair criticism about not being able to score if we played all day ………… we nearly did score for heaven's sake!

I don't know what some of you guys expect. Take a look at Toronto's team, full of full time ex SL/NRL we did a fantastic job today. After watching 3 championship matches this weekend, and "guessing" how Hull KR and Salford performed, I guess the final table will look like this:

Salford
Toronto
Leeds
Hull KR
London
Super Fax
Toulouse
Widnes

Up the Fax!

Oh, and what's this rumour about Scott Grix coming to Fax next season?

Thought Toronto won the ruck area and we just fired blanks in the Toronto 22m red zone. That link between Johno Grix and Muzza was weakened by not having Grix at pivot in the middle of the field today. To put in context that narrow margin defeat may still be a positive down the line as I expect Toronto to beat teams by a larger score in due course and if we can play to that intensity and upskill on attack then we may have some more money to come by finishing higher that the pundits have us down for. Keep the faith.
PS yes Scott Grix will be back next season-to draw another golden gamble ticket at half time
