The chants when Higgins was down were wrong, but I did notice that a lot of fax fans clapped him off.

Thought we defended excellently yesterday, reminded me of the Leigh SF 2 years ago. Halifax threw absolutely everything at us early on and you could see after 65 minutes they were absolutely cream crackered. I never knew Menzie was so good at football either!

Peter Green - 52 tackles and 24 hit-ups in his 65 minutes or so on the field.

Awesome!!

I made a point of the work he was getting through during the game.

Absolute ironman. Just doesn't seem to get tired.

Still prefers traditional black boots, too. Though he doesn't mind if they have a bit of white on them.

Jeez - that first try of ours looks a bit dodgy.

Not enough to disallow it. Looks fine full speed, marginal when slowed down but right decision IMO.
