missed the game last night - away on holiday.Were there any positives from the game ; i know we came back well but who played well , why the second half comeback etc. No negative posts allowed !!!!!!!

we got a bonus point

Ok Positives:-

You missed the game last night.
We got a bonus point.
Lots of Fax fans have an extra 13 quid still in their wallets.
Only a blatent trip that lead to a try was the difference between the sides.
We know if we are losing by a shed load of points we can come back.


There you go.

thanks - enlightening

We don't have to get excited about winning anything this year

We won the 2nd half

also the food at batley is top notch.

Yes there were some positive.

We played with some passion and pride in the second half, we looked like we wanted the win and the confidence appeared to grow

We made less errors, and again in the second half the defence was 'better'

It's only £12 at Batley

Assume you played down hill in the second half.

good that on holiday
missed a blatant trip that only ref missed as well.
antony bowman made championship debut.
not many other positives.

Hate to burst the bubble further, but i'm sure in the laws of the game, tripping is allowed aslong as another player is controlling the momentum of the tackle and it supported such as yesterday were the batley player already had hold of the player then the team mate stuck his leg out
that was my take on it anyway

Sorry to burst your bubble but you're wrong!

2. DANGEROUS TACKLES
The Code(Use of Legs): 2.1 THE TACKLER’S LEGS CANNOT BE USED TO TRIP OR
THROW.
Application: The use of the legs in a tackle is [size=200NOT[/size permissible. Using the LEGS
(even if the defender has a hand hold on the ball-carrier) to TRIP
or THROW constitutes an infringement.
Law Book Reference: Section 15, Note to Law 1 (a), Page 38.

ALSO

SECTION 15
Player's Misconduct
Definition of misconduct:
1. A player is guilty of misconduct if he:
(a) [size=200trips[/size, kicks or strikes another player.

Yes, you assume correctly!

Dam everyone thought we had saved 13 quid.

By the time i had bought a coffee it was back up to £13

some Batley fan gave my kids a free ticket, that softened the depression slightly.

your right, i hold my hands up i was wrong
the rule i was getting mistaken with was...
"it is permissible for a tackler to bring a player in possession of the ball to the ground by pulling him over the outstretched leg provided he is holding the player with both arms before there is any contact with the leg"

is this guy a 'troll' cos hes widnes fan?

Not our shocking discipline and poor one on one defence? Agreed it was a blatant trip but it wasn't the difference between the two sides by any stretch of the imagination. Can you honestly say Cherryholme's try was a DEFINITE try?

I think the way we came back with only 16, then 15 fit players with Black barely fit was admirable, and Penky's return to the dummy half and showing why he has to play there every week as well.

Only 1 try difference so thats a positive.And that was one try. Cherryholme got the benfit of the doubt. The video ref was awarding a penalty try if he didnt get the benefit of the doubt. Stay positive Haighy this is a positive thread.

penalty try for what ??, think the only was only 3 possible out comes,

1 , try

2 , knock on, unsafe carrie

3 , held up short, play of the ball,



were do u get penalty try from ?????????

I don't know about "shocking discipline" Haighy, after the weekend's programme of games, we'll probably be still top of the fairplay league.

Have you watched the game over? We gave away a shocking amount of 'stupid' penalties, even after the ref penalised us for them more than once, we still did them!

I was stood next to you mate, remember ?
The only reason a large percentage of our penalties are "stupid" is 'cos we're not winning the floor, simple.
