What a shambles it was 24-0 nil in as many minutes,then we decide were going to score every time we get the ball,give countless penalties on the 5th tackle,all it was needed was to play proper rugby but no we dont do that. Tims half time team talk must have been legendary,the 1st set of 6 in the 2nd of halifax possession we give a penalty on the 5th tackle and sadly the rest of the half was total dross and to add the icing on the cake our player of the season could well not play again this year.Great performance rovers.
A win is a win, but, play like that next week and we will lose. After the initial 24 points it was shocking. No leadership, no enthusiasm, weak tackling.Cue on the rack performance. Injuries did not help and they sound like bad ones, but it was Halifax, not Melbourne Storm...Big Big improvement needed and sooner, or possible MPG...gulp!!

Another step closer - although it sounded an unsteady step in that second half. Still, credit for the fast start, and it never really felt like it was in doubt.
The injuries are a bit of a sickener, but i think Sheens said Donaldson and Crooks might be back next week, which’d be very welcome.

Losing Carney is something we are used to, but the Quinlan injury will take some cutting edge out of the attack, he assisted all 5 tries we scored when he was on.
Looks likely we will have to put Hally at full back and we know that can mean rocks or diamonds. Still 11 tries in 5 games should ensure he’s full of confidence.
After the start we had it was a golden chance to put the points difference right,but through our own incompetence we now have the worst points difference out of the top 5 by a good margin,and that could be the difference between top 3 and the million pound game.Talk about making our own problems.
