Ref poor
Linesman appalling
Oldham tried
Halifax better

Good defence but we gave them a lot of respect by taking the 2 and we didn't look too convincing in the final quarter.

Home. Peroni 5.1% mmmmm

Blimey that was a terrible game to watch tonight we were poor defence apart and Oldham were pretty average plus as others have said the Ref was also very average so all in all it was one of those games where you think what the hell am I doing here this is not entertainment it was dire.
We must do much much better next week otherwise it will be a long night!
What was Adam Robinson doing driving the ball in chest all puffed up with 3 minutes to go and then got smashed giving them the ball back straight away after they had knocked on??? Made those last few minutes hard to watch.
That and Steve's missed kick that was like an Exocet missile summed up our performance really, poor.

I said "life at Fax is never dull"
When Adam got "smashed" as you say you might have noticed Luke raising his arm in acknowledgement of a stupid pass.

The one that was mentioned three weeks ago was a Twitter wind up by a fellow player.
A N Other has a year left of his contract and a good job.
In my humble opinion.

Yes the officials were inconsistent. But 25+ penalties is also a reflection of two teams trying to stop each other from playing rather than being creative. Two teams with little ambition or ability.

Whilst I hope the players get a boost from the win, it really makes me wonder why I am bothering to watch games, the vast bulk of which simply aren't enjoyable. No wonder crowds are down across the leagues. My wife had much more enjoyment at bingo.

Re: Oldham game : Sat May 21, 2016 10:31 am  

Poor officials which contributed to ruining the game and then they wonder why they get criticised and why people stop going.

Fax started with a higher intensity in the tackle but there was a lot of unforced errors early on which didn't help with getting any momentum going and build some pressure.

I though we were pretty dominant in the forwards and won the collision in defence and attack, Oldham are no mugs but without the penalties the only way they could get out of their half for large parts of the game was by kicking on the last, I don't think they broke the line once in open running play.

Dane, Adam, Luke and Jacob had strong games and a couple more tries for Matty Sarsfield in only his second run out so some positives from the packs response to last weeks working over at Batley.

Likewise with Sharp, he looks like he is getting some confidence back and showed up pretty well.
