Feel badly let down tonight.

Guess the RL don't want us winning both trophies.

Some clownish decisions by the whistleblower cost us a game we should have won.

I was right on top of the Featherstone try that was a clear double movement.

its all a yorkshire conspiracy!

now now lads, remember what everyone was saying to us when we complained about Laughton???

ano we cant always blame the referee but Ben Thaler a supposide 'super league' referee was very poor tonite. shocking performance.

and we didnt play our best so we cant really blame the referee for the game. we just never showed up, and tbh never deserved to win the game, gd luk to fev for the rest of the play offs but i cant really see past a barrow grand final win

Featherstone were just the better team. Deal with it.

referee was fatastic imo, if anything i feel did you many favours

He did no-one any favours and, yes, he was sh/te. He didn't cost us the game though.

The referee was not the reason we lost the game tonight, and loads of people posting this makes us look like whingers. The best team won tonight and all credit to Featherstone, they played us very well andkept alot of our big game players quiet. I thought Webster was very good for us but not many more, Smith had a better game but too many were quiet tonight.

have you forgoten the 7-1 penalty count in your favour in the rail semi.

yes it was our fault we lost that match not the refs i will be the first to admit that.

ONE person! ONE!

Fev did a good job on us tonight. The game changed when McLocklan came on for them and speeded up their play the balls. They also did a great job on marking Thackeray out of the game, though Webster played well. The ref had nothing to do with us losing tonight at all.

Yes we made mistakes, yes we can play better, but

01) Double movement should not have been rewarded with a try

02) Pulling back Flynn and turning posession over to Fev made no sense

03) Teams were very even, they were offiside plenty and lay on plenty and not penalised. I guess that was there game plan, to slow us down. It doesn't impress me.

If we loose because we were the poorer side I don't have a problem with that. I just don't think that was the case tonight.

Am confused...were you watching the Widnes Fev game or the Leeds Hull KR game cause you've posted you were watching both?

Make your mind up

st put this on the trust forum and stand by it now:


The ref was poor no argument BUT and it's a BIG BUT we were awful and deserved to loose, Feath are not a good side we just made them look good the Ref should never have been an issue bad decisions or not end of !!!!!!!!!

The only pastime Halifaxxxxxx is taking in tonight is fishing.

went to widnes game, skyplussed the leeds game just watched it in ffwd

wow so you managed to watch the widnes game then get back to halifax.

then sit and watch a game in fast forward.

one question are you superman.

Only until he registers a new username.

You're a numpty but that made us laugh a lot. Well played sir

I wouldn't want to go as far as saying that the referee cost us the game but I would want to know why the penalty was not awarded for the tackle on Flynn.. considering he was in the clear had he not been pulled back a good collect would have clearly led to a try and there is an argument that the Fev player could have walked for a professional foul. As Fev were handed the ball back on the 15yard line and scored under the post from the next tackle I think it was a big call to miss. I'd be interested to know what other people's thoughts were on this.

The referee could not claim that he did not see it. He was perfectly sighted too.

I hate moaning at ref's but this one was poor! We didn't even get a 60 - 40 never mind 50 -50 ater we went 12 - 0 up!

To show unbias... Briggs was a try he bounced and not double movement... BUT!

Thacks knocked on 5 out we headed to scrun and Ref gave 20 re start...why? We got caught out but Thacks nowhere near line so how 20 restart?

Pen they got against Doody from kick??? They kicked through Doddy was happy to leave it... Kain jumped for it (as you would) missed next min Doddy acused o pushing him out the way (No appeal mind)????

Thacks kicked through... literally tackled out the way and play on? Sorry but wtf?

Fev controlled last 10 and first hal of 2nd hal but tbh they where aided and tbh am I agreived? Damn fliiping right I am!

Just how we felt after the NRC Semi - rubbish aint it?

Being sat with all the Fev fans its easy to see he was rubbish for both of us. The ammount of crap we got let off with was huge too, they were just better. Great support apart from some idiot who couldnt handle his beer and that horrible old witch who shouted and shouted, and if you shouted anything in support of widnes she argued with you.

But yeah overall, good game, Fev better.

Not really. Fax had three tries gifted to them in the second half to get them back into the game, yet you all seem to miss this and continue to persist that the ref cheated you!

Get over it!
