That sums it up perfectly - Barrow not a bad team but at least 2 of their trys very sloppy. Against some of the backline attacking moves were as good as I've seen for years - really hope JWH injury is not serious as I thought he was exceptional until he had to go off.
The Jekyll n Hyde of Halifax in one game again , some sublime tries and the attack is looking very good with some great attacking strike in jouffret, Keyes , Moore , wood , woodburn hall , walmsey, McComb, then just some random penalty or handling error undoes the good work . Kendall was obviously cadging a lift on the barrow coach but the goal line defence was poor . Gwaze plays like he’s been fired from a cannon and deserves his mom. I can see a scenario where if everyone’s fit we annihilate someone this season, but I can also see a scenario where we lose to ourselves such is the frustration of following fax .

Twisted ankle for JWH and at least he was brought off as soon as he did it and got well strapped and iced up so hopefully it’s not too series as he was starting to get up to the pace of things after return from his broken hand.
WOW what a win. Barrow are a decent team so to win by that amount is something. Cant see us losing for a while now.. Joufret and Keyes each week in the halfs for me not sure where it leaves Corey but i wont look to change anything at the moment as it seems to be clicking well.
Pretty much what I expected from yesterday, plenty of fight from Barrow but ultimatley they are not top 6 material and were in a bit of a false position. We played some great rugby at times and Keyes, Joufrett and JWH look a class above. A couple of lulls in concentration in defense but a convincing win. A good win up at Newcastle next week and we are looking good heading towards the monster York game.

Like as already been said a lot better in attack and i would go as far to say the best we have produced this season other then at fev. A few soft tries conceded down our left side which is normally our stronger side defensively which need fixing but other then that a very encouraging performance. I just hope woodburn-halls injury is not a bad one because yesterday was his best performance since returning from injury he looked very sharp. And i hope the club are looking at getting titus tied down to a new longer term contract he as been a breath of fresh air with his performances this season and seems to be getting even better week on week. Looking forward to the trip up the toon on saturday to see if we can pick up another important 2 points.
Played some good rugby . Titus was fantastic and we will do well to keep him from Superleague. We will miss WBH who has become so dependable at Fullback. Newcastle full-time but can't see any reason why we can't win on current form. Confidence will be high.

A very good performance and about what i expected. Some lovely attack but as has been said, some woeful defence. MotM by far was Titus, he just plays the game with a smile on his face. The opposition must be sick of seeing him coming at them, both in attack and defence. Onto Newcastle and more of the same please. Up The Fax! Lindley Liberal Club, Ossett White Rat 4.0 % Mmm!
