Well, I’m not sure where to begin with this one, considering it was so bad.
Firstly, we must not forget that today we were playing Hunslet. I do not wish to look down on our opposition, however, they are scarcely better than a pub team. Fax fans may complain about the tactics of Huns (slowing the game down etc) but it is more worrying that Fax were unable to overcome such a basic tactic.
Fans of both teams were out to criticise Laughton before the first ball had been kicked. With an 11-13 penalty count was he really that bad? Probably not! Yes, he was picky, but I can’t think of a particular decision that had any real impact on the overall outcome of the game.
So after that shower; we have to prepare for Thursday. I’m not sure how that 17 can take any positives out of today, but since they are professional sportsmen a bit of professionalism will be required, in order for them to put this afternoon behind them. Although I wish for Fax to be successful in the play-offs, they are certainly not worthy of any success.
For me, I think that we should write off this season. Look ahead to 2012, getting a new coach and new set of players is essential for us to progress. So is getting a board with some ambition, but I suppose I am in cloud cukoo land asking for that!
