Incorrect what about TKL'S inside ball to Dodd under the sticks dropped, And Penny caught in two minds failing to take on the full back with his pace and then passing from the ground after being tackled, also must say your 3rd try had just a slight hint of obstruction in it's build up, widnes were'nt great technically today, but were better than fax and the scoreline flattered fax in my opinion, 2 years ago we were flying and it was about this stage of the season were the season smomentum shifted to Cas. Today could be the begiining of a tough patch for you guys, especially after struggling last week against a barrow side that although to be respected, were very fortunate to get past featherstone.

You dont think having a tough game the previous Sunday had any bearing on Barrows performance against Fev?

Yes, he will (if 'Fax reach the finals of the 9's competition!)

I was actually referring to a competition that 'matters' & anyway I think you will find that the 9's is actually in Lytham St. Annes not Blackpool.

But YOU will see that he said the 9's FINAL, which is held at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool as a pre-match game.

BTW the draw for this competition is at 7:30 this Thursday.

Ben Black is a complete star he is just amazing to watch and yesterday he had another blinder it was just so unlucky he lost the ball after making a stuning break, Chin up Ben so happy he as signed for another 2 years. As for losing the match we all need to draw a line under it we are still top of the league and need to get behing the team and push them to Grand final glory.

And cue the annual Halifax end of season collapse................

On what criteria did/does Ben Black qualify for a work permit by the way. Last time i looked Burleigh Bears were a mid table Queensland cup side and he hasnt played internationally or in the NRL has he ?

They dont comment on individual cases

By the end of Bens current contract he'll have been in the UK 5 years (albeit not consecutively) so he'd be eligible for citizenship wouldnt he if he wanted it

they didn't exactly struggle cutting you up down the middle, that didn't go unnoticed, and you'll have to toughen up defensively or you'll have real problems for the rest of the season, but you should cope with it cos you're the best team in the division by a mile
