Sounds like they put in another good effort today. Looking at that team sheet and the youth and inexperience in it, although it looks like a hammering I understand they gave it everything. Well done lads on a warm afternoon.

Looks like another good effort.DO the team and Handforth play better without Briggs at half back? hard to judge but seem to be better with H & Weeden

China started today but got injured in the first half attempting to prevent a try. He limped off and didn't return.

Mark Castle and Kyle Briggs didn't play.

Forgot to mention that Halifax played the last 17 minutes with 12 men after Miles Greenwood was red-carded for kicking out in a tackle.

just like every other player does in nearly every tackle. Even your player thought he was going to penalised for holding down

Credit where it's due, your youngsters did themselves proud today in that heat. It seemed to me that Halifax were complacent going into this game and it showed in the first half with the amount of errors they made and possession they coughed up.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

Thought there were some good play today, but we must get rid of the Tony Miller one man up stuff and start to be a little more adventurous, and why don't we change the kick off instead of up in the air every time.
But well done lads today against the top team in our division.

I didn't go.....but would it be fair to say that we are trying to target games we can win.......ie Toulouse......hence a lack of people like Briggs?
Although they have hit good form just in time to play us.

I think he meant this as information, NOT A GLOAT, NOT FINGER POINTING. I'm sure if you are correct the matter will go no further.

Im sure he was(giving it for info), Im just giving your fans a different perspective on this.

Seems that China was rushed back too soon then! I wonder how long this has put him back?

Toulouse? It is not the same side than at the beginning of the season. They scored 46 points against Leigh and they are on a roll after scoring 60 points against Batley. Skybets places now Toulouse 3rd in terms of chance to win the Championship grand final. Beware of their new strength.

From what I heard today we may be Briggsless for a while due to a pooible illness

Yes, it was just for info.

For the record, I couldn't see the alleged offence so I have no idea if the card was justified or not.

I was surprised at the number of Halifax errors having seen them against Widnes on TV.

He's got diarrhoea?

i could not make the game as i'm back at uni - could any1 tell me the team? read a lot about our young guys giving it a go and just wondered who was out there

Well yeah......I can see that....in fact it says so in my post.

You wouldn't be surprised if you saw us play every week, were class at turning possesion over and giving away penalties when we've got the ball!!! Fair play to you today, thought your guys gave it a good go which is all you can ask for as a fan.

why would you want to do that apart from maybe this season 1 up boring rugby is the way whitehaven always played and it kept getting them to the playoffs probably cause they put the opposition and the fans to sleep.

Quite agree we looked like Lions led by a donkey today, the lads played with a lot of heart but we have no PLAN B.

AND

Why do we not go for the 2 points when we get a chance, its not like we breach the line that regularly with our ball up the jumper approach to Rugby.
