Great result. Which team did Penky turn out for?

We started nervously today but after a few basic mistakes, we came through quite well. Leigh were pretty woeful in the second half. They weren't interested at all. They wasted a few chances early on, but halifax were clinical going forward. If they smelt a chance they took it. Good to see the attacking side is firing again. Black played well on his return, goddard looked like he hadn't played for three months. Good to see him back though. Give him a few matches to see him firing again.

Well done lads, good professional like performance.

thought goddard played well, his centre play was class. something we have been missing so far this year.
poor ref though.
the penky try that wasnt was a joke.

what was the official attendance?

what was the crowd today

They announced 2100 ish

2186

I was surprised at that, with the amount of traffic around, I was expecting it to be more.

Well i for one believe that there was a little number fudging going on there. If there was 2,212 for the sheffield game, then there was closer to 3000 today.

Agreed.

There was loads more there today than the Sheffield game. How stupid do they think fans are? There's only one foot they're shooting by doing that. The RFL aren't going to give a franchise to a club who can't produce crowd figures above 2,186 for a cup QF.

Behave, this is a quarter final in the NR cup, not a SL game between Quins and Celtic at Wembley in the Challange Cup Final you know.

Great performance from you guys today - you really do play some top stuff. We were outclassed all over the park and after we missed our chances early on it was always going to go way.

Ben Black was head and shoulders above the rest today (only because Joey wasn't here

) and he fully deserved MOM.

Well done and good luck in the next round, you play great rugby and deserve to be where you are.

That's the kind of rugby we have been trying to play all season.

It is exciting to watch when it comes off like it did most of today, but can be extremely frustrating when it doesn't.

Let's hope that the lads have strung it together now and can play to this standard for the rest of the season. We have shown the potential and now lets see us kick on again from here.

Funny how 'shared' gates tend to get announced like that, isn't it?

Absolutely brilliant performance - well done, that's how RL should be played. Some of your fans near me, were having a pop at your guys, when the inevitable mistakes were made, but you won't go far wrong, playing that style of rugby.

Congrats. again - best team I've seen in this league, by a huge distance.

Are you Matt Calland?!!

Don't tell Andreas Bauer that, he thinks Barrow are the best!

Or even a "country mile"?

well we were the only ones to reach that figure, so should be one horse race.

If only.

Just realised that there was only 1650 at Widnes yesterday! That's a terrible turnout considering the amount they started the season with!

Barrow are good, but not as good as 'fax - who have been building up to this, the past couple of seasons.

'Country miles' seem to vary in length. (e.g. "the nearest pub is about half a mile away." Two hours later, and dying of thirst, you still haven't reached it!)

That's why I wrote 'a huge distance' - it seemed even longer than a country mile!!



Looking forward to seeing you guys at LSV. ('sometime in August' is what Leigh are telling me!)
