Anyway, jetlag's not the reason teams are losing to Toronto. Recruitment is. They have by far the best squad in the division.

But they should be playing games in the same sequence as the rest of us, shouldn't they?

In 5 years time, with 200 fans played in a public park in Toronto...? Hang on a minute, we have refs to get them into Super League if needed!

A rotten administration is the reason tens of thousands are walking away from the sport. The young 'uns follow the footy as at least it's fair (unless Old Trafford added time, of course)

RFL won't need to appoint a fixer next week. I'm sure they'll have their best men on it v London & Toulouse!

It's how you beat 14 men. Didn't Vickers suggest cheap admission v Toulouse?

Another good win despite a lull in the middle came good at the end. The tills will be ringing this week for the Fev game over 3k ? I would hope so. It's make some money time hopefully

Re: Barrow match. : Sun Jul 01, 2018 6:22 pm  

No. Halifax as a Town don't have a pot to pi** in. Only a soccer game might get them down the Shay. I'd expect Fev to bring a fair few as they just have got over the millennium bug crisis. Rugby League, a relic of the past. A hard job for any director!

Absoloutley. The men in charge should be working 100% to market this. Everyone in Fax should be down, local clubs bring your lads down and get behind The Fax. Posters in pubs/clubs. The big screen on Market Street An advert on Pulse Radio. Owt to help the lads over the line in this one. Me, what am I going to do? I'm personally going to bring 3/4 lads down that haven't been for years. What about you? Come on! Up The Fax! Brewer's Fayre, Barrow, cider, Aye!

Re: Barrow match. : Sun Jul 01, 2018 6:33 pm  

Typical of Fax lately scoring off the first attacking set only to let the ball bounce around 2 or 3 times straight into Barrow hands from the restart.
Mainly play well then up to half time but come out for the second 40 and conspire towards nearly throwing the game away with a pointless late hit by Fleming and a daft charge down gifting possession away.
Do that against Fev and we could be in trouble.
Crucial try by Moss when the gap was down to 8 and Barrow throwing everything into it.
Apart from Maher being carried off I don’t recall seeing Grix back on in the second half.

Re: Barrow match. : Sun Jul 01, 2018 6:38 pm  

Halifax are doing everything right off and on the field, but again, I feel that's not enough to get enough new support through the turnstiles.

You can only aim at the wealthy, or a fast shrinking middle-class, or an idiot with a decent credit limit on his CC.

Semi-pro players, otherwise they'd be elsewhere. Marshall has his percentages nailed on. He goes, Fax collapse

Nah,there's more to Fax than that. RM is doing a great job, I've doubted him at times, but I think we're where we are are due to everyone at Fax doing their bit. Come on!
