Defence defence defence............our defence was awful not just tackling but our containment of the ball to prevent an offload, so much work needs to be done for us to truly improve, The fourth word is TRAVESTY and this is because we played a team who pushed us all the way showed team spirit and guile, and had a following to match, it is pure travesty that a team like this is prevented from playing in the top tier while other teams are promoted too early and above their fighting weight. Well done Halifax I hope it isn’t at our expense but keep that up and build upon it and I cannot see how you missing out on a license next time round.... 
But don't be TOO harsh on your defence. Halifax are playing like a team possessed in attack this season, and, albeit granted we are rattling barrel loads in against the likes of Batley, I've never seen such an obsession to offload and score on almost every play from a Fax team over the many years I have followed them. And we have a truly awesome combination in Black, Gleeson, Beswick and Penky who constantly scrurry around and are looking constantly for those elusive gaps. NL teams simply can't cope with them, now they've proved they are GENUINE quality by rattling your guys as well!
