Noticeably busier than usual with some familiar faces. Playing half a side of undersized academy players will get us nowhere though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Whilst Toulouse were good, most tries were run in unopposed against kids. Hard to draw any SL conclusions based upon that. For the sake of the international game, would prefer a few more French players too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blues Ox Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Fax game was a strange one, we dominated for 60 minutes but have no goal kicker otherwise the game would probably have been done and dusted but a few silly penalties gave Newcastle a sniff. We are struggling to score points at the moment but our defence has been pretty good all year. We are now down to 17 available players though but luckily with the Toulouse game next week been called off we will get a week off to possibly get a player or two back from injury or look to bring 1 or 2 in from elsewhere. In the other results Oldham are going to be kicking themselves but Dewsbury are still under a bit of pressure and when they play each other in the last game it could be to stay in the division. Haven continued their good form and it would be amazing if they could sneak the last playoff spot from London. Other positions in the top 5 look pretty much as I would expect them to stay.

Why has the game against TO been called off? There should be no travel restrictions now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club should have made it a priority to vaccinate everyone. Those that don't want it are then letting the side down as the club would be fielding a depleted squad. There should be no excuses now.

As it is Halifax are in no position to force players to get the vaccine. Unfortunatley Toulouse agreed to play in the competition this season fully aware of the rules that the RFL had set down.

There is probably a reason for it but York no longer announce the crowd which is a shame. We therefore have AB Knight’s (unofficial) crowd figure which today was 1650.

Since it's only 9 weeks since jabs were opened up to under 30s (which will capture most players) with an 8-12 week gap between doses + 2 weeks it's difficult to see how 'fax (or any other club for that matter) would have a fully vaxxed squad at this moment in time. Unless you've got a time machine to loan them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you've got a time machine to loan them? Yes, I realise now that the UK is significantly behind France with vaccinating the younger population and also having to prolong the gap between jabs. Let's hope the teams get themselves sorted for the play offs, assuming that TO will be an opponent they need to visit. However, I'm pretty sure the rules will be amended to accommodate a TO home game in the UK if needs be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daddy Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Toulouse have already played a couple of home games at Swinton's home ground and I suspect they'll do the same for the play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the away supporters scattered in twos and threes throughout the ground rather than all together in a group does diminish the atmosphere somewhat. A lot of the people sat around me seemed not to be particularly familiar with the players or the rules, so York must be doing a good job attracting new spectators.

Can't fault the Widnes performance, they played the full eighty, but they're just too small to match a team like York in the pack. Lawton was wandering about looking lost at times , we pretty much wrapped him up when he did get the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
