I wouldnt say it's all fans, Im certainly a realist, as im sure are a lot of fans who have followed us for many years.

All we've wanted over the last 10yrs is a team that will play with pride & show us what they can do. This team does that. Sure we will lose, but we'll win more games though.

Before MH & MC came aboard we didn't even make the playoffs in 2006.

Since then we've gone 56-1-23 (W-D-L) in competitive games.

Under MH we went 22-0-9, finished 3rd in league in 2007.
Under MC we're 34-1-14, 2008 - 18-1-10 3rd in league and so far 16-0-4 this year and currently top. Yes there is a way to go but MC is def up to the job.

Get behind the team and stop bloody moaning!!!




[iOn a side note, the losses those seasons were

2007 - Whitehaven 4, Castleford 2, Widnes 2, Dewsbury
2008 - Whitehaven 3, Celtic 3, Salford 2, Huddersfield & Sheffield
2009 - Castleford, Sheffield, Widnes, Gateshead[/i

Keep up the good work Agent Calland.

The plan is working just right

!

Yep agent Calland doing Widnes proud, good on ya lad. Your home town colours always show.

Cant believe people are questioning if Matt is good enough when we are sitting clear at the top of the league with only 2 defeats so far. Have we beaten our closet rivals this year? Yes - if we hadnt then thats when we may have concern.

i Cant believe people are saying this rubbish, asking if he is up too it, having a dig at players on another thread, how can you have a go, top of the league, got to semi final of northern rail, nearly won at cas, if you have owt to say, leave it till end of season, and see what we have done, dont start getting on there back at this the most important time of the season,, still cant belive some people,, leave them alone

Please please tell me these posts are carcastic. I am sickened by this thread. Third loss this season and all of a sudden the @rseholes come out of the woodwork.

That doesn't give just cause for you to start mixing metaphors all over the place.

think most of us are glad he has extended his contract at fax.
of course he is up to the job.

Matt will well be chuffed if he comes on here and sees this thread title.



FFS!

I have faith in him and he is the best coach we have had for over a decade despite being so inexperienced! Matt keep doing what you are doing but keep learning as well

I dont think Calland is up to it at all. Total Fluke all our wins.

(SSShhhh keep this thread top of the pile then if any prospestive Sooper Dooper League clubs come looking on our forum after we win the GF they'll really think Calland won it by fluke and will never poach him!!)

I don't know, but they are certainly picking the bones out of them.

Well Chinaman has certainly had a few bites!! If you look at his posting history, he's a bit of a bulls fan ... a kind of "hobsons knees" ... and I should know!



Calland's an excellent coach, I luv the fella, ain't that endorsement enough?

Am I right? I'M NOT WRONG!!

Every team have bad weeks its how you bounce back and you have to give credit to Matt for sorting the mess out at half time up at Gateshead to nearly come back and secure a vital Bonus point. Matt and martyn are doing a fab job and im 110% behind them.

Of course he is up to it, the guy is still learning though, he is getting there he just needs to be a bit more guarded about what he says.
He is a true RL man with top level experience and has a good mentor in Martin Hall.
What more can we ask for???
He will turn this blip and not winning the big games around you shall see.

You are wrong, big time, I hate Bulls. I have supported Fax for approx 52 years but I am entitled to an opinion!
Big couple of games for Calland (an ex Bull!!!)
These next two games will be very interesting and lets hope he thinks before he speaks. Time for the man to stand up and be counted and make sure his team are better prepared. You may gather that I am not totally convinced about his pre match planning. I would also point out that there are others who know a lot more about the man who are not yet convinced.
We should beat Leigh and the Frog team but its a long way to go to Toulouse to lose.
As I said in my first post I hope I am wrong.
And if you love the man well each to their own!

Not a good comment and if you are refering to my posted topic I am entitled to my opinion and as a supporter for over 50 years I probably have some right to my thoughts. I think you should moderate you language and perhaps like some others on here take off you rose tinted glasses.

Ridiculous Thread - Of course he is!

Unbelievable isn't it? Only the most arrogant Halifax fan would think you were not going to lose a few games this season. Calland is up to the job, but should be careful of what he says in public!

they hiding something??

why does this stuppid subject keep getting brought up, it needs locking

I agree, its a nonsense thread, same as the who do we want to get rid of thread.

Hear Hear!!

Well I think the peeps have spoken!
