Listening on radio so can't form too accurate an opinion, but from listening to radio just sounds like same issues repeating themselves at the moment. Plenty of effort but $h!t for brains. Self inflicted errors, lapses in concentration in defence.

Really frustrating listen that one.

Felt today was always going to be a bridge too far with the injury list that we have at the moment. Halifax are a decent side that we pushed all the way. Not too disheartened by the defeat, the frustrating aspect is that with 10 mins to go we were in a winning position but blew it.

Trying to attack at breakneck Super League speed will result in an inevitable high error count

hard to fault any of that tbh ... lost it in the dying moments and did so without our most creative players. big gamble putting Lilley in but with only one (i would imagine not fully recovered) half gave us i small chance. great advert for the championship and a proper head throbbing game. thumbs up to both sides

so in a nutshell ... lilley on one leg (er no ribs) ... and no goal kicker. but its another coulda shoulda. the last 10 for any bulls games we have always conceded late. be it winning by enough or in the arm wrestle and lost at the death (fev and now fax).

Must have been watching a different game but can’t see how that one can be called an advert for the championship.

2 v poor sides on the day. Full of errors, no real quality attacking play from either side. Made worse by a poor referee who allowed lots of messing around at the PTB by both sides and missed key decisions which impacted the result.

I’d that’s the standard of a top 4 Championship game before they reduce the funding, I dread to think how bad it will be next year.

I don't normally go for the emoji's but even with 5 minutes left when we were losing I thought to myself, even if we lose its been a pretty good game to watch and the last 10 minutes was a nailbiter. If you want to watch robots doing the same thing over and over and completing tackle counts go and watch SL. Yes the quality is a long way from that but really if you don't think that was a good advert for the Championship then Im not sure anyone could hep you.

Ps - If you think Salty's feet were in touch when he scored then I would advise you not to watch a replay of the pass that put him in.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Couldn’t see the pass from where I was, but I thought he was in touch too.

The worst call by far was the “knock on” about 12 mins before the end when the ref said it went backwards. No idea how he got that wrong.

We said the same when he gave you 6 again at the end of the first half after a loose pass just hit our player and you scored from it.



Just reading back I see mentions about turning down 2 points from us a few times, its probably worth adding we don't have a goal kicker and Harris is just filling in as our 2 goal kickers are injured, I think we play it slightly different if they are on the field and probably don't miss that goal in front of the sticks after our 2nd try.

Well it was closer than I expected given the players missing from our side but at the same time disappointing to lose from a good winning position.

It’s those types of game where the control of a player like Brough would perhaps have seen us finish the game off. Nothing changes for us, we need to win enough games to make 3rd/4th and hope we have our key strike players fit by then. Need to string some wins together in the next few matches though, next few weeks could be crucial.

If it’s the same incident near the Fax 20 meter line when he bent forward to pick it up the ball bounced and actually came down off the knee and never touched the hands, in the follow up it was tapped backwards before being cleanly regathered and that’s what the ref ruled.
The match will be on the tube, see it for yourself.
Cracking game with both sides doing enough both to win it and lose it in equal amounts.
