Once again Fax go into a downward spiral at the wrong end of the season. Whilst finishing third is as good if not better than some projected at the beginning. When I saw the squad assembled it was with a quiet hope Fax could cause an upset.
A rocky start losing games through silly mistakes and poor game management, then it clicked and a win of nine on the bounce only to see the wheels fall off again.
Whose fault is it? The coach, certainly has made some strange team selection choices .
The players , poor discipline and game management in some instances.
The BoD certainly the information highway hit an early exit sign and some odd things transpired over the season.
Players being told / knowing they would not be retained after the last game?
It all ends with the familiar sour not sweet taste of winners, I keep saying to myself that’s it I am finished with Fax and the RFL, the whole circus is all too familiar and has been for a generation.
But then I think what the hell, Halifax founding members of the Rugby League all the history and heritage, players who gave their all including broken bodies over the years for the cause,
Remembering the quote over the clubhouse doors at Thrum Hall, watching some great stars over the last. 50 years, starting with Kielty, Dean, Wilkinson, Dixon,Freeman, Fogarty, to name but a few, they never gave up, nor will I, I will be here again next year in spirit if not in body hoping and praying for the impossible dream to be reality and the Fax become a powerhouse and driving force they deserve to be.
