Halifax were awesome first half. The speed at the play the ball was killing Whitehaven. However some genrous reffing allowed Haven too much time to slow us down in the tackle.
Second half we didn't start well with that short kick off and i feel that we played badly but most of the scores came from halifax stupidity. The kick off, the drop out and the penalty off our own play the ball.
McNally is a great support player, but he's no half back. Maybe it's just the people around him but there was little creative play from Whitehaven, most of the pressure on our line was caused by Haley dropping two easy catchable balls and penalties from being too eager to make the tackle.
I would take black over mcnally any day. He can create chances from nothing, not just running through on support tries. Saying that, the lad played well when he wasn't whining like a little girl.
As for the high shots, you can't complain when you were giving them too. It was a physical game and the shot on Larder in the second half was the worst of the lot.
It was good to say i've finally seen us win in Whitehaven.
