Grim stuff so far.. no punch in forwards. Should still be ok hopefully. Attitude looks bit off. Basic rugby should do the business vs these.blair in .

Looking for huge improvement 2nd half. Sheens should have blasted them..first real test in a while either way

It is what it is,I looked at fax 's website and a few familiar faces and big forwards which poses different questions for our pack.fax fev Toulose and Leigh coming up and with respect to Sheffield and Oldham we will learn a bit more of where we stand in next month or so.lots of possibilities and injuries already playing a part so in answer I find it interesting and if we do put a big score on fax we will have to earn it.

If it had tickled my interest I'd have gone surely?

You may have? What could be better than watching the indigenous team struggle versus the might of Halifax?

More questions than answers today.one thing is for sure a performance like that from forwards against Leigh will see us on end of 50 points.reality check there today.no need for panic but lots of work ahead

I think sheen mentioned were in the market for forwards I would take a punt on David hala and ben harroson

I'll have to wait to see it, but winning the second half 20-nil seems like a positive. Leigh had a few games that were closer than a 14 point margin last year - the important thing was they improved through the year.

It could be said that we've still not put in a good 80 minute performance, but equally that not many in teams in this division have been able to go the 80 with us. Results are raising expectations I think. I'd have been delighted to know we'd reach the end of March without a pratfall, back in pre-season. We've still not played 3 of the current top 5, so some interesting challenges ahead.

Congrats to Jamie Ellis on equalling Liam Finn's record for consecutive successful goal kicks!

Aye.keep saying we need a Michael Smith type wrecking ball.since Morgan left we seem obsessed with medium sized mobile forwards.guess what it doesn't work. It will never work. Far too nice a team need to get ruthless and harder as a unit.saw a few old traits from last few season today but if I could I'm sure Sheens could.

Bullet dodged. A lot of half-hearted stuff on show today, Fax out enthused us.

Re: Fax : Sun Mar 26, 2017 5:45 pm  

I just thought we didn't match their intensity levels, which is just unacceptable at any level. Still, we came away with the win and in the grand scheme of things, this game and many more to come count for nothing come the 8s.
