Halifax (A)

[Wakefield Ram]

No Samy Kibula, Andy Gabriel or Aidan McGowan, but return to squad of Matty Beharrel and Jon Magrin. 

Hopefully no injuries and put in a decent performance ahead of vital game against Whitehaven. 

[Blind side johnny]

I think that Kibula's loan has ended. McGowan picked up a knee injury against Barrow and it isn't looking good.

[Wakefield Ram]

Shame about McGowan he is a player who can score tries.

[Crown Flatter]

Expect another thrashing with this fixture. We offer little on attack and our defence is suspect at best. 
I wonder if this will be the team that takes to the field:

1 Dixon 

2 Blackmore

3 Ryder

 4 Greensmith 

5 Carr

6 Sykes

7 Beharrell 

8 Kidd

9 Butterworth 

10 Beckett

11 Tomlinson

12 Knowles

13 Schofield

14 Speakman

15 Magrin

16 Peltier 

17 Trout

My prediction:

Halifax 44-8 Dewsbury 

FTS: Carr

MoM: Beharrell 

Att: 1345

More to the point, why would anyone choose to play on Thursday when they have another game on the Sunday?

Blackmore should be dropped for his idiotic spat with the ref.As daft as it sounds ,that decision could be the difference between staying up and religation.They scored straight after that effort,we had the ruddy ball. Carr every time for me .

Add in a couple of lost balls in possession and trying to barge his way over from 10 metres on 6th tackling and being stopped 5m short and agree. But no Gabriel, so no choice. 

[LeagueConvert]

Reflecting on our defeat last time out against Barrow Raiders, Greenwood said “I think that was a missed opportunity, if we’d had taken some of our chances at the crucial point in the game then we’d have won, instead they took their one chance late and won by a couple of points.”

Interesting comments.....who made the decision to run the penalty rather than take the 2 pounts!!!!

[KC Ram]

Why no Gabriel, he is shown as being in the squad on the website? Has he pulled out since?

Confusing. The squad on the "flyer" shows 21 players and Gabriel isn't included. the list accompanying it shows 22 players, including Gabriel.

I do hope that this isn't an issue of administration; that would be most unusual.

[Ovenden Grunt]

Looking forward to this game hoping for a comfortable Fax win. I'm not expecting it though as we have struggled against your lads a couple of times lately at The Shay. Up The Fax

Issue with administration

Would we really do something as daft

[Wakefield Ram]

Almost went but the person I was going with couldn't make it. Good job. Time for Greenwood to go now. 

[Piggy's mate]

Awful, feel for those poor souls who went and had to suffer the worst, droning chant in sport.... Oh Ali, Ali,

[silcoates]

Greenwood the coach"Forget about this one lads,put the game on a plate for them" We might have a go sunday".The drummer needs attention from Phil Collins.Even in poor old Phil' state. It's Boris' fault.

[creditwhereitsdews]

The players tonight should have been fighting for a shirt on Sunday. It looked as though they don't want to play then either. Greenwood and Graham out, now.

[horbury ram]

We were two of the few that went, without doubt one of the poorest performances I have witnessed over the past 20+ years of supporting. The issues liie with the coaching, or apparent lack of it:

No set plays whatever

No running onto the ball , every ball passed is to a player standing still

Half backs running down blind alleys, not drawing men before passing, throwing long cut out passes to already covered wingers and the almost inevitable interception pass

These are just the tip of the iceberg, the players appear to have no confidence in the coach, who appears just to sit in the dugout. No shouting, cajoling or any sort of encouragement comes from him ,at any point either before or during the game.

If he is not bothered then he needs to go, that is now, a few are saying see what happens over the next two matches, lose them the season is done, and relegation is almost certain.

Nah new songs this season. Ohhhhhhhh Lachlan Walmsley ooh aah, I wanna knooooow if you'll score a try. So pleased as its deffo an upgrade on the oh ali ali chants and I used to be so jealous that Saints fans used to sing it to Darren Albert.

[Crown Flatter]

That was absolutely terrible.

I think we completed one set in the first half, but we surpass all others I think, with the number of times we knock on. The penalty count against was something like 12-4. I am not sure which was worse, our lack of ideas with ball in hand (not that we kept hold of it when we had it), or our shocking defence.
As the score suggests, we were inept in all departments and it would have been worse had their goal kickers - three of them, been able to convert more of their tries.

To win on Sunday…we’ll just now I can’t see it happening. Whitehaven will be rubbing their hands, thinking victory will be theirs and I wouldn’t count against it.

Another outlandish result at Halifax. Please do not complain about falling attendances. There are far too many such results. No good for the game !!

 

Sad.

Are they simply innocent bystanders then?

I'm just hoping they wasn't the instigators of the fall of the house of Greenwood
