what’s everyone’s opinions on tomorrow? Any changes to the squad? Personally I’d like to see Dixon back in the squad if he’s fit, maybe drop him for Fleming? But not sure how good he’d be a centre, either way I’d like to see him back in. Think Widnes by 16
Coleman's big on loyalty to his players so I'd imagine will be the same 17 as last week ,won't change a winning team..still don't quite see the merits of gregson nor Fleming but when ye winning decisions are made easier...gonna be toughest game so far .. massive threat in their halves from jouffret and widdop .. hopefully we'll win the arm wrestle through the middle...tight game for me but going us by 6
Will the game be available on radio coverage? Is flash still doing the commentary
Ht 4-14. From a neutral point it's quite a good game but we have bombed three tries and their last one before HT was a double movement. Fax are a decent team running hard and fast and are making yards on every play we are at times but no killer thrust. 40 mins to go and we can take it with the wind on our backs and a bit more luck from Ben Thaler
Losing at half time! Halifax aren't a better side - but they are on top because our defence is nowhere near as good as the last few games
It's half time and I hope that the coach can fire us up for a better effort for the next half.
Cant believe Ben Thaler was once considered a top referee either.
Great second half, langtree best signing for years, Owens played well and johnstone
negative - Fleming
attendance about 2550 I think - that’s poor considering we are 3 out of 3
next week acid test to come followed by another difficult away tie, whatever happened to play at home week 1 away
week 2, repeat ?
Wonder if AC’s team talks are the opposite of Betts!
not used to going a second half making the other team scoreless normally it was us 🤣
Well done to the lads on a brilliant second half performance, I didn’t find a radio station to listen to the game. Anyone who went to the game to comment on players ratings
Best second half we have played for years. Fax hardly touched the ball in that ten minute blitz and were rightly punished for it. Defence on top as well in second half as they hardly made any metres at all. MOM for me Jack followed by Butt and MaxAtt I think 2558, surprising as Fax brought some and North stand looked fullish, South looked sparse indeed👍
@mckviking first half we looked flat across the pitch with Gilmore probably being one of the worst.2nd half we flew out the blocks with Gilmore probably being one of the best! Langtree a standout and Owen’s deservedly MOM, Coleman deffo got us fired up for that 2nd half as Halifax was awful throughout and we gifted them try’s. But to be 4/4 absolutely outstanding!! COYV
Gilmore and Owens ran the second half as they liked - Widdop went off with a bruised ego!!
Great display by the lads as a team, quick hands etc made it hard for Fax to do anything in the second half!

That's my take on today, Fleming better.
Langtree was awesome on attack and defence, owens was good and Gilmore dragged us around the park really well.
@thegrimareaper I often hear gregson doesn’t offer much but he must be doing something right. Is his defense good?
@mckviking not really, bounces off if he is first in to the tackle, often steps back to allow the defenders either side to get in first.
Trust me, I am trying to find positives in him but finding it very difficult.
