Black had his hand up in 2nd half a few times as he was at fault for some Cas scores. Its not all about what you can do with ball in hand would have a look Said Tamghart tho i thought he was great.

Due to TM's dumb team selection policy, this guy was wasted. The hooking role is not like it used to be and you can stick anyone at acting half back (not taking away the fact that that there are good players who play this role very well, but he isn't one of them). But WHY bottle him up there? when we know what he can do in open play. Sherwin looks lost without anyone beside him and this showed with some of the crazy passes he gave during the 2nd half.

2 things hit home after that game.

1) What would we be without McGoldrick?
2) At least half a dozen of our players would not get into another Super League side and even the Halifax team come to mention it!!!

And who would you have played at hooker ????

Yeah we won, but we beat a lower league club by 1 point! I don't think thats a victory to be proud. How can TM talk of winning this when we struggle to beat a team of part timers?

After this and the last few performancesI really don't think our team has any balls. I fear what the result might be on friday I really do. Our players should be ashamed.

Not that I am taking anything away from Fax, well done lads and I hope our next meeting will be in SL.

Major over reaction or what !

Some real garbage spouted on here today.

the underdog always raises it's game, as did fax yesterday.

You've seen us play this year??? Id hardly say we "raised" our game, we played well, but trust me, as you can probably do, we can play a hell of a lot better than we did yesterday.

That said, WHAT A GAME!!! Im proud to be a Fax fan today.

We were saying the same when we only just lost to Bradford in the '07 Challenge Cup. We were in NL1 and we lost 24-16 and then the next year when we were in SL, we got hammered by them. Teams raise their game for one match when they've got nothing to lose.

To be honest Poker Face, I'm not sure as I don't see alot of the Academy, but surely we have someone who plays that position regularly and not one of our better attacking players. I know he scored a try from dummy half, but I just felt he was wasted when we need players in open play.

I thought Ben Black was absolute class tonight. I think he could easily make the step up to SL. Beswick was great too, he always caused us problems when we had our battles with Widnes the other year. Penky was great too. I think all of these could play SL, and hopefully they will do so with Fax in the not too distant future.

The trouble is mate, can Halifax keep them if a super league team came calling. If you can keep most of your team together and add some more class. You should get a franchise on the playing front.

Good luck with the rest of the season, was very impressed with your team, and as a Cas fan feel we got out of jail. If you had recieved the ball in extra time who knows what would have happened!!!!!!

You describe TMs dumb team selection yet you have no idea who should have played at hooker ?!

The fact of the matter is, we have run out of options due to injuries. In normal circumstances he wouldn't have played there, but it's a case of playing players in a position they are used to. Not ideal, but not dumb.

we will do you fax fans a swap sione F and clayton for beswick and black
