Anyone interested?

Ellis goes for the world record? Slightly more interested?

Scott Murrell deserves a decent reception I'd say? On paper fax look a solid team.Ellis getting the record would be a great personal achievement, could do with few straight in front to ease the nerves.

their squad: https://www.halifaxrlfc.co.uk/article/4 ... nouncement Probably not quite at the level they had when we played them last in 2015, Iirc. That said, if we're complacent they could give us a bloody nose, metaphorically. We should get the 2 points and the longer we can maintain our winning run the better. Obviously. Ellis's goal kicking run could make a interesting subplot, more so with each one he knocks over, but I hope it isn't any sort of distraction. I'd be surprised if he and the team weren't aware of it by now.

How many does he need

Love The Drighlington Dynamo.

He needs 5 goals I want him to forget about records, they will be too much pressure on him to help his team get victory over a strong Halifax side

Murrell gave everything he had every game.tackled hard and good skills.thinking about it now Abdull reminds me of the young Murrell, shape and skill wise.if he has as big a heart we will have to see?

Was my favourite player had a footballers brain & all the skills but in the wrong body. He gave us everything he had & will always respect him for that, always remember him beating the first tackler by his sheer lack of pace. Will be nice to see him run out today.

is anyone really interested in watching you put another big score on an underfunded championship side?

It seems to have tickled your interest? It is what it is,I looked at fax 's website and a few familiar faces and big forwards which poses different questions for our pack.fax fev Toulose and Leigh coming up and with respect to Sheffield and Oldham we will learn a bit more of where we stand in next month or so.lots of possibilities and injuries already playing a part so in answer I find it interesting and if we do put a big score on fax we will have to earn it.

Grim stuff so far.. no punch in forwards. Should still be ok hopefully. Attitude looks bit off. Basic rugby should do the business vs these.blair in .

Looking for huge improvement 2nd half. Sheens should have blasted them..first real test in a while either way

If it had tickled my interest I'd have gone surely?

You may have? What could be better than watching the indigenous team struggle versus the might of Halifax?

More questions than answers today.one thing is for sure a performance like that from forwards against Leigh will see us on end of 50 points.reality check there today.no need for panic but lots of work ahead

I think sheen mentioned were in the market for forwards I would take a punt on David hala and ben harroson

I'll have to wait to see it, but winning the second half 20-nil seems like a positive. Leigh had a few games that were closer than a 14 point margin last year - the important thing was they improved through the year.

It could be said that we've still not put in a good 80 minute performance, but equally that not many in teams in this division have been able to go the 80 with us. Results are raising expectations I think. I'd have been delighted to know we'd reach the end of March without a pratfall, back in pre-season. We've still not played 3 of the current top 5, so some interesting challenges ahead.

Congrats to Jamie Ellis on equalling Liam Finn's record for consecutive successful goal kicks!

Aye.keep saying we need a Michael Smith type wrecking ball.since Morgan left we seem obsessed with medium sized mobile forwards.guess what it doesn't work. It will never work. Far too nice a team need to get ruthless and harder as a unit.saw a few old traits from last few season today but if I could I'm sure Sheens could.

Bullet dodged. A lot of half-hearted stuff on show today, Fax out enthused us.

I just thought we didn't match their intensity levels, which is just unacceptable at any level. Still, we came away with the win and in the grand scheme of things, this game and many more to come count for nothing come the 8s.

Today showed why Moss is not to be trusted at FB. Not good enough. Forwards didn't do much either. Then again, how bad do we have to be to lose?

It's panning out as expected and the reality is we haven't really been threatened at any point. Sheens is bringing in the forwards needed and looking for cover in the spine too if he has any sense.

As things stand we will make the middle eight easily and with Widnes and Huddersfield we have 2 clubs this squad and coach with strengthening should/could pick off. The only nagging doubt I have is about this squad and contracts for 2018. Rumour in 2005 was some players didn't "want" promotion as they knew they could be out of a job if we went up. What are the arrangements for this squad regards next season? Are they all on one year deals or with some guarantees if we get promotion.

we have said for the last 2 or 3 seasons we need some grunt in the forwards were are they cant the coach and mangers see that's what we need

Really want Moss to be a success. Think he's trying too hard but his attitude is endearing in that you can see he is desperate to do well,not unlike Dixon. Think he will be good for us but only so many chances can be given.little surprised Toulose beat fev in fev .few harder tasks now

Best side lost today, Fax had a game plan, stuck to it and nearly delivered.

That's one Get Out Of Jail Free card played.

Our pack was completely out muscled, the amount of times we allowed them to get their heads through the line with free arms to offload was ridiculous. That's all about being out enthused at contact and is unacceptable for a full time team against part timers.

Who is calling the set plays? No one reacted to the vast majority of them. As for getting caught driving the ball in on the last tackle it's frustrating when a forward does it but both of your half backs? Really?

We basically had a few individuals with more quality.

Blair looked to have got his mojo back a bit but that's the only positive I can think of.

To put a bit of perspective on it all, one of The Skein said to me, "We're top of the league, unbeaten and we're​ all stood here moaning".
