I'm sick of all this players and coach bashing all of a sudden. I'm pised off just as much as anyone else but this is a naff spell that will end at some point. The players that are mentioned aree all signed up for next season anyway so if they blob this year they surely wont want to blob again. We were a shoein for top at one stage but I still think that when come the playoffs we will come good again, look what they can do when they focus (36-10) I think it was in that period we dominated they still are a brilliant team. Just need to get that sparkle back. I'd rather glory hunting fans buggered off because they are weak minderd pratts who can't take it when the chips are down.

well said

Calm down, were the same INCONSISTENT! all our toys went out the pram earlier on in the season and since then we have bucked up. You'll be reet

You score 42 points and you moan

I'd kill to score that many points in any of our matches remaining

So you let 50 in , so what , you were entertained

Dont forget we scored > 30 points in the 2nd half!

Ged was sweating like a rapist in the last 5 mins.

Wouldn't have thought that 5 mins into 2nd half (10 - 40)

Sorry to say it, Wise Man, but they deserve a bashing. That's the WORST performance in the first half by a Halifax team I care to remember ... UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. We were coming off 2 defeats, had to protect top spot in front of our own fans, yet the effort was a total disgrace, so much so that at half time in the bar me and me mate (no, not jacko) thought there were bouncing cheques or serious changing room bust ups. Nothing at all to do about lack of confidence that showing, it was real bad.

We don't have a hope in hell of reaching the GF, never mind winning it, unless the players stop feeling sorry for themselves and bust a bluddy gut. But if they don't want it, then fair enough, they won't get it. Extremely disappointed with the effort, but funnily enough I don't feel shocked by it.

Short memory - they stuck 50 points up Toulouse 2 weeks ago!
It will click for the play offs, and when it does watch out!

what i dont understand is what happened in those last twenty minutes.
perhaps we thought "thats it , we've lost , so sod it, no pressure on etc"
but in those last 20 mins , we kept hold of the ball , players started running angles , wrenchy and frank had strong runs ,penky and gleason had quick play the balls and we got on a roll. But why - any ideas folks

Whitehaven were totally 'nackered. They had their hands on their knees at the end of the first half ... just shows how bad we were. Also remember that they struggled to beat donny away a couple of weeks ago. Some of you guys sticking up for today's shower of shiite don't appreciate how bad today's effort was.

Oh dear, but I admire your faith. You wasn't that insane bloke applauding the team off at HT by any chance was yer?

I agree with Tonyfax (heaven forbid) hell just froze over.

1 loss is a blip, 2 losses is a slump, 3 is a wake up call that something is not right.

Whoever on here called for Cherryade to be in instead of Wrench is not watching the same game as me. I'm not Wrench's biggest fan, I think he is too small for a prop (look at havens props today) but he at least runs with summat about him and tries.

Worrincy I have felt all season he just aint cut out for it, a flapper is the phrase used, when he gets the ball he either goes 50 yards or knocks on, too inconsistent for my liking.

Quite simply our forwards are bing bullied off the park now, every team knows it and does it well. Watene at the start of the season was doing well and again im not his biggest fan anyway but he seems to have lost his fitness and now offers a ten minute spell and thats it.

Black and Penky are playing crap as they have no forward momentum being laid for them so struggle.

Goddards supposed "best centre outside super league" tag is a joke. Why im not sure, bad service etc?

We had a massive chance to own this league this year and do a Hull KR when they got promoted, yet now we are fast becoming a laughing stock.

Callands country mile comment was a massive mistake and ever since then every team has been fired up against us, hmm I wonder why.

As last season finished and people said oh well ive enjoyed it we got entertained will you say that this year if we win nothing? We had a massive chance to do something special this year and at the moment we have imploded, we don't just lose we are poop as well with it.

Before when we played crap as a team we had the individuals to get us out of it, now we look like we don't even have that.
