Fax played well for each other to the last miniute. The gap is closing between the better of the championship sides and to super league clubs. It was a one off game but you wonder should fax be full time and have some money to bring in a few as well they could have pushed they had the right game plan but saints fitness and strength got them over the post.
I don't buy they were holding back Halifax t the start were fit enough to execute the game plan towards the end it was just one step too far. Saints smartened up once they realised it was not going to be an easy game.
