Halifax can hold their heads high after that performance. Cas better sort out their tackling and stopping the off load in the tackle by friday, or Leeds will hammer them

Wish that game would have been on TV too!

Halifax had nothing to lose and everything to gain. They gained something alright.

About as much as Cas brought last season? That is: generally a good place for the rest of the league to boost their points difference (Saints being the exception of course). Celtic will be a different ballgame next season, just as Cas is this.

I think you will find we brought alot more to the league last year. Yeah we finised bottom but we finised on 15 points just 2 behind hull fc. Can you really see celtic getting half that because i dont. Yeah we got a few beatings but we had a team with local youngsters in there such as Shenton, Westerman, Owen, Huby, and Boyle. If Celtic were getting beat every week and had a few Welsh men in the team and buliding for the future then i think people would have more time for them but they havent there doing it with 2nd rate Aussies.

Anyway congrats to Halifax tonight proved they are a super league club in all but name.

So how come you didn’t boost your points against them then.......... I think the licence system is a great idea if its fair but its interpretation can be used against and for teams. Anyone can see where SL is going in a few years time Scotland is in the headlights even though MM whatever it’s called now is a joke, which heartland team will give way to a Scots team. Expansion is fine but we find ourselves in an economic downturn asking fans to travel to the South of France, London and also south Wales, if like me you have a family of 4 it’s not the easiest thing to do. No wonder we see them bringing a handful of spectators when they visit.

if patterson had converted all of the tries we got we would have actually won that game. we were unlucky especially with sherwin slipping over whilst kicking the drop goal. but we put up a good effort and maybe should have won. but you look like a good team as well rangi chase looked good and mcgoldrick cut us open a bit as well.

good luck for the rest of the season.
