C'mon guys lets not get carried away because of a result... I'm chuffed we won and had we lost ill still be there cheering them on. However for 70 minutes of that game we were playing dumb, boring rugby with little to no invention from the three pivots with ball in hand. Our attack was pretty flat but our defence in the main barr a couple of brain f@rts kept us in the game. A better attacking side would probably have been comfortably ahead against us by HT.
I still genuinely believe KH has done as much with Fax as he probably can and today could very easily have been a defeat and i personally think the best team lost, but thats sport!! Again we had a chopped and changed side which has managed somehow to snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat. I thought we were poor barr the last 10 minutes and the referee should be thanked for taking Fieldhouse out as Patterson more than had a hand in our two final tries which I doubt Fieldhouse would have.
I'm delighted we won but let's not get ahead of ourselves and think that we are now world beaters again. I will always take a win but we were poor for most of the game.

No ones getting carried away with anything but you can either focus on the good or focus on the bad.
On that point we can't have been that bad otherwise Batley would have been out of site with 10 minutes to go and we wouldn't have had the ability to score twice in three minutes against a good Batley side who have one of the best coaches at the helm and a strong team on the field.
What is to gain from mentioning the same things in every post, eg boring rugby, sack KH, the crowds are down and the board should do this that or the other.
We all have and are entitled to an opinion or a point, make it and move on.
Not being funny or anything and I have thought long and hard about it but we can get carried away by constantly being critical.
As to being world beaters I think that's where some of the problem lies, we never have been but some thought because we are Halifax we would naturaly be better than everyone else in the Championship.
Fact is were not but we have as much chance as most of our rivals as making progress.
