Great entertainment from both teams in monsoon conditions at times.

Excellent win away from home and 1st one of the season to boot. I thought it came down to quality and we just had that little bit more than Halifax…

Still we nearly blew it by gifting the blue sox some points at the end, but full marks for effort and discipline over the 80 mins. Just hope there is something left in the tank for Batley..

What a win! Never mind Jesus Christ rising, Billy Jowitt rising to collect that bomb was biblical. Incredible take that won us the game.

I felt we played the conditions really well and won the arm wrestle. Patton and Lilley both produced some fantastic tactical kicking to turn the Fax players around. 2 of their scores game from our mistakes. Cut that out and the game isn’t as tense and close as it should have been. As somebody stated earlier, we were the better team for 78 mins.

Walters and Donaldson were a handful and kept causing problems for the Halifax defence. If we ask nicely can we have them back again next week, Rohan? I felt that they targeted Appo quite a bit tonight but he handled himself well after his early error.

Quite a few that could have taken home the MOTM award. Patton, Lilley and Jowitt played well alongside Donno, Walters and Thompson.

Pack was really good, Donaldson runs it in far above his weight and has still got a great workrate. Patton in the form of early last season and Holmes was solid again.

If Donaldson's SL career is at an end after this season, I'd be doing everything we can to get him back here permnantly.

Cracking game, score line flattered Fax a little I thought. Defence and enthusiasm were excellent. Middles were dominant for large parts of the game and I include Appo, Baldwinson, Scurr as well as Bibby, Donaldson and Walters in that. Keyes had an uncomfortable game which, along with Holmes’ positioning negated a lot of his tactical kicking. Well done boys. The other interesting thing is we’ve won 5/8. Only 2 of those are against teams in the bottom half of the table. We’ve now played everyone in the top half
