ernieone Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 First try from a bad bounce Second try mismatch in height jumping for a cross kick Third try interception just before half time. 2nd half only one team in it and deserved at least a draw. 1950s Gallant Youth, 2000 Bulldog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I didn't go (family commitments) but do we need to learn how to win the close games (Bradford/Barrow/Halifax) or is that an unfair or simplistic comment on my part? Sounds to have been a good effort, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more Ernie, very unlucky not to win that today, Taira and Downs had really good games today, just a pity about Joe throwing the interception just before halftime.

Piggy's mate Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 What a game! Fax started really well but by half-time we looked to be in the ascendancy until a lazy pass gave them an interception try. Second half Fax were hanging on and the better side over the eighty minutes lost. The most entertaining part of the afternoon has to to the Halifax crowd. After watching Batley for nearly 30 years it's the first time I've been poked by an opposition fan and I have to I didn't like it! I don't think I've ever been in a ground where the home support was so bad, they seem to turn up just berate the opposite at every play begging penalties..even to the point of blaming the Batley supporters for the refs decisions, ending with yours truly been poked by an old bloke!

After going 12-0 up it appears we thought we could score on every play and came up with unforced error followed by penalty followed by unforced error over and over again. I thought we showed the opposition a massive lack of respect and we could have put that game to bed by half time just by completing sets. The only positive really is that we conceded so many penalties and completed at less than 50% and still managed to luck a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Its the " we're better than you" syndrome. Basically the supporters of certain teams think they are better than "such as us". When they realise they aren't they get agitated. Hence the poke at you Piggy. Some Fax supporters are like that. Good coach, not a bad team, but goin nowhere. No ground , no ground income stream, to be fair I can understand their frustration. Buckets will be back soon. WHERE DO YOU WANT ME TO SWIPE THIS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johndeere Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Today was certainly a game of two halves obviously gave them 12 start then our forwards got into the arm wrestle and got on top but all that pressure came to nothing the halves lacked ideas to unlock the defence! ! We really should have had something in those 20 mins then another interception try !! Second half we were all over them all they were doing was hanging on but it wasn’t to be but we were certainly the better side and came away with no points but we showed promise I’m sure we can kick on !

Piggy's mate Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I am concerned we seem to lack ideas on the oppositions line, but defence dominates these days..

Woodman Away Travel Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 The people that went have got there summery spot on. Errors cost us in first half but still matched them. Second half the lads were outstanding! First thing i would do would be to offer Brearley another two years!! Hemingway was a revalation today. Play like we did today and not many beat us! That is the challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves a run in the team. Brearley, nurtured in the right way, could become something quite special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats wise you simply can't do what we did yesterday and expect to win rugby games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
