Crowd sounded like that of a PSii game from 2001 (can we borrow the CD)
Agree with the poster regarding the 2nd Fax try.....very good off-loading!

we score tries like this nearly every week. Matt has got them playing entertaining rugby. Allowing them to take risks. He's on record as saying he doesnt want to be a 5 drives & a kick coach.






supporting Halifax through thick & thin!

Some top quality rugby there from Fax, defense maybe was an issue but at the end of the day most of them lads are part time players so '/it was only to be expected, had Fax been a full time team would the result have been different? On this evidence and on the games i've seen Fax play on TV they must be odds on favourites for the Championship, very entertaining brand of rugby and a full credit to Matt Calland who also employed the same style of rugby at amateurs Rochdale Mayfield.

So, in your avatar - the Broncos score - 72-8 against Wakefield. Forget the prowess of a masterful attacking performance - do we just put it all down to bad defence from Wakefield?

Yes. When a scoreline is that one-sided it has to be.

It's a bit different at 35 - 34. When you've got 2 teams playing fast open rugby you're bound to get defensive lapses. The alternative is to watch 2 teams who concentrate primarily on defense, score 1 or 2 tries in a game between them and bore the fans to death. I prefer to be entertained, thanks.
