Surprised but delighted Whitby is with us again this week- if JWH had been available I would have played same team - as it is would be disappointed if we didn't just bring in Joufrett or Hanson instead. I know we've also got Ruan on DR but don't see how you can make changes to last week's team unless it's to cover for injuries. Really looking forward to it!

Slightly frustrating way to end the season - in a way felt a bit like Oldham in reverse with us having lots of initial pressure without having the guile to break through and then conceding a try against the run of play. The loss of Tangata and early injury to Cowan made a big difference as the pack then didn't have the size to match Oldham - as a result their halves were much more effective. Felt for Jouffret especially if that was his last game for Fax - he's given fantastic service to Halifax, but he never really got into the game and was exposed defensively on several critical occasions- again the loss of JWH made a big difference.  I know there are rumoured to be big changes next year - really hoping without any real confidence that we can hang onto Douglas and Nofoaluma who as often been the case were superb last night. Only watched on TV but was really impressed by fantastic Fax travelling support who made more noise than York fans right up until the end. Overall a much better season than we had any right to expect- now it's over we can presumably expect to see how next season squad is likely to shape up - already got my season ticket - let's hope the optimism generated gives sales a real boost to help support recruitment. 

York looked physically stronger than us in the early collision we missed Adam due to injury before the game and Cowen soon after coming on. LJ had what must be his worst ever game in all departments which sadly contributed largely to the loss and after getting back into the game at 22-18 a sloppy Inman high tackle gave another free gift chance to score.
 Big turn over of players for next season so interest now turns to recruitment, 2026 and beyond.

Yep, York just about deserved the victory but with a bit more composure Fax could have won that game. A pretty good season though and a special mention to the Fax fans, they created a fantastic atmosphere and showed that given a fair crack of the whip the interest is still there for Rugby League in Halifax. Up The Fax!

The fans where great again we just need them to turn up week in week out to really help the club. I was left thinking if both Tangata and Woodburn hall had played on that left edge would we had won i guess we will never know. I just think  3 of York's tries down that side would of been stopped if they was fit to play. Overall a lot better season than i thought it would be and i like Kyles comments in his post match interviews. He clearly is trying to change the mentality of the players to see games like saturdays as a missed opportunity and to push them to be even better. If he can it will be good times ahead for the club.
