Interceptor is bang on about handforth...... he did nothing all game but then wins us the game with 2 big plays. 1 for the try to get in front and then 2 mins later with an interception to stop a certain try. It was a massive win today, we can now afford a slip up and still stay second. I wouldnt have fancied our chances of a second place finish had we lost today.

Still, he disallowed four Eagles tries so can't complain too much, eh ?

Disallowed tries take care of themselves, we have had many over the season.
What bugs me is when holding down, offsides, punches on the floor, worrincy thrown over by his neck all go un-punished only for the referee , and his mate with a flag, to then ping us for similar offences. All we ever ask for is consistency.

When the referee reviews his game he will see that he had a bad day at the office.

Knoza - from the knock down by Vinny - clearly backwards on the video. Would have been given if the game was on tv.


Turner - knock on given picking up a loose ball. Would have been under the sticks if play had carried on. No knock on on the video. Would have been given if the game was on tv.


Knoza - given held up. Not so clear but grounded it on the balance of probabilities.


Look at the video.

Look at the scoreboard because.......

I thought the lads really dug deep to come back so many times in one game and that is what makes other teams so wary of us and not want to play us.

Could have ended up without even a bonus point but came away with all three.

Talk about never a dull moment watching Halifax.

Well done the Fax a massive effort after last week.

Blimey we mugged Sheffield today they desrved to win really but well done lads its an 80 minute game.
Our kicking game yet again was poor, Handforth set the tone with his first kick it went staright into the hands of their fullback who made us pay with good yardage. They scored their first two tries off poor kicks, that one and the other one was from Thackeray which was some kind of spinning bomb, we need to get it sorted. Compare that to Brambani who got good distance with nearly all his kicks, that 40/20 was superb.
We won while not playing well, sign of a good side.

Haha Griff. Your Team lost it themselves AGAIN against us.Blaming the Ref is poor. 0-16 up should see you win.But your Team of losers AGAIN threw away a good Lead to lose the Game at the end. The fact that you and other Eagles Fans cant accept it by ranting about the ref or trying to pathetically attack Fax Players is a disgrace and laughable. Lol

One bloke being a wally at the end doesn't make us all bad losers, the fact is we threw it away following the sin-binning, we may have got away with it against previous Fax teams but Harrison has got your boys playing some good powerful rugby. Good luck for the rest of the season.

You know what ? That'd make sense if Spanish hadn't started the thread off by ranting at the ref.
