playing cricket today, so can't make it down

It's 6-6 the last time it came round on Radio Leeds

6-8 to them at half time

Half time
Halifax 6 - Dewsbury 8

ref is spoiling what could be a good game. Shad sin binned for ball steeling. Penalty count must be heavily in dewsburys favour.

What a half!! What a referee? Both defences on top - some great tackles going in but I can count with the fingers on one hand the worst refereeing performances in my 30 years of watching the game and this guy Halloran get's my middle finger. Awful. Warren Jowitt's got him in his pocket.

12-8

I despise the bonus point system.

The ref was poor 1st half but so were Fax.

I guess you had to be there but seeing as though you stopped watching Rugby League 6 years ago you've forgotten.

Fax were out of sorts in the first half but that still doesn't stop me recognising an awful display from the ref.

Is that because when we lose, we do it in style?

There's no pleasing some folk !!!

In 40 minutes of rugby we concede a solitary try against a side that have recently found the pace of this division and have ammassed seven bonus points with their never-say-die attitude, a 'Fax side who are heavily slaughtered for being poor defensively in some people's eyes, and the barrage of penalties & possession against us, we weren't poor, we just weren't allowed to play our normal style.
But let's not forget there's two sides to playing the game, when you have the ball & when you don't have the ball, even when starved of possession we took some breaking down and Dews didn't really create many scoring chances at all. Our class, quality and spirit pulled us through this one. I don't agree that we were poor in the 1st half, just don't agree.

Only us ey. We have to go out with a boom.

I aint one od those Fax "bashers" but simple stats from the 1st half can't be ignored.

A furious MC (he looked it walking down the tunnel at HT) would even consede we were poor!

Q. How many incomplete sets in the 1st Half? now tell me we weren't poor.

All credit though the HT team talk must have been bob on as we sorted it.

I don't have any stats at hand, but we had no ball and limited the opposition to one try.

Defence was good all game just hope we look after the ball better against Fev.

How do you know that? How do you know what he 'looked' furious at?

I dont!

How can anyone know, it was just an observation.

But one things for sure he wasn't smiling or cracking jokes.

credit to MC for his HT team talk though
