Really good result that but the real tests come in the next 2 games. There looked to be a good balance to the team yesterday and hopefully Grix sticks with the same 17 for next week as they all deserve it.

Good result yesterday, well done boys.

Great performance and result, the lads couldn't have done much more. Great defence again, when was the last time a Halifax team kept two consecutive clean sheets? Some good tries as well and fantastic to see, and hear, such a good following from the Fax fans. The Buck Inn, Northallerton. Ringwood Forty Niner 4.9% Mmm!

well i really enjoyed that not just the game but the day it self its a long old journey to newcastle and back in the same day it was good to see rusty rita and i even got called lush at durham services and no she didn't have a white stick before anybody says anything. As for the game i thought it was a really professional performance from fax at 8 nil newcastle had some pressure on our line and caught us short for numbers on both sides of the park but they couldn't take advantage i think better sides would have punished us for that but once rawsthorne scored the break away try we never looked back and the game was over by halftime for me then we scored a really good try at the start of the second half with some really crisp passing and deep running lines for barber to score it got scrappy after that but our defense stood firm after these last 2 games i feel we are at about par now for were i would expect us to be in the league but i think we can do even better with the squad we have got and i think we will no were we truly stand after the next 3 games

Point of interest: I make it that, in our game against Bradford, if we had got that winning drop goal instead of Bradford we would now be third and they would be sixth! Check out the maths.

i take your point but they did we didnt !!

Exactly but the point I'm making is that, to the idiots a couple of weeks ago saying we were fighting relegation, one point can make a massive difference, especially early in the season. We lost that game with bad game management as we had loads of time to go for a drop either before or after they did!

Idiots that's very brave from behind a screen the point i was making at the time was we had won 5 games out of the last 25 in the league and that is relegation form don't you think

You could also say that the two points went the way of refereeing decisions. We got a 9-1 penalty count early doors and should have been out of sight I agree but....2/3 bulls scores were from awful 'mistakes' by the officials and we lost by one point. Example, the Foggin-Johnstone try from an absolutely blatant forward pass. Not even near a flat pass.

I would rather think of it as winning 3 out of the last 6.

when i made the comment about relegation we had only won 1 game and were playing very poor at the time and my lack of confidence in grix being able to put it right was my thinking behind my comments and for what it is worth i hope he proves me wrong and turns out to be a brilliant coach for fax if he does well we all as fans of this club benefit
