Featherstone didnt win that game, we lost it and whars with the 45 minutes?. We wont get many games as exciting as that this season.

You got to be joking ! any team that comes back from 22-6 down, well and truly beat you.

Been talking to a mate who was there he said Fax played very well, so well done Fax can't wait for you coming to POR ..

Great game from fieldhouse. Missed the warrior today IMO.

Thought your kicking game was great not a single open field kick fielded by Fev, a 40-20 to boot as well.

For me fax played really well especially in broken play, Fev were lucky and played their get out of jail card but to be fair played right to the end. Which as a supporter is all I can ask for.

What a great game of rugby hope we get more of the same in the games to come.

Dont get me wrong, you took your chances well, which is what a good team does, but thats exactly it, chances were given to you far too often.

Why on earth the two sending offs? Karl summed it up well, saying its rugby league not tiddly winks, he should have given a penalty and got on with it. You have to say Fev used the extra space better than us.

I am sure we have more tough encounters to come this season.

Handforth gave Bowman what-for after his brain fart gifted them possession.

Im sure both teams will be close at the back end of the season,to be honest I never bought into the fax injury list = Fev will run away with it theory. I had 6 points in it either way.

So well done Halifax and Fev great ambassadors for the game of Rugby League..

Not sure what game you obesrved. Our kicking game was 1st class and Rettie was far more impressive than the Warrior.

The work ethic is brilliant and Feildmouse has secured to no1 slot, think he'll be SL next season!

Belting game can't wait for the next tussle as I think we have another 10-15% to improve, I think Fev were at full strength?

Re: Halifax 32-34 Featherstone : Sun Feb 26, 2012 6:10 pm  

Brilliant effort from both teams, what great entertainment.

Re: Halifax 32-34 Featherstone : Sun Feb 26, 2012 6:10 pm  

Dont know about full strength, no maloney, freer, hepworth, raynor at the very least

To be honest i thought a draw wouldve been a fair result based on our performance from the 60th minute and Fax prior to that I thought we were done at 22-6

Second half changed when Ashall got sent off as he was your best forward by far and we stepped up a gear and seemed to find a bit more space despite going 22-6 down shortly after

Ashall was definately missed more than Haley

Think fitness told in the end in the last 10 minutes and it showed, we took our second half chances which we created or were given to us by Fax

But it wasnt a good Fev or Fax performance by far, a lot of things for both coaches to work on, but as an advertisement for the game and the championhsip it was unbelieveable!
