I would say both those statements are true I think they were all shellshocked I await the Leeds game with bated breath.

Superlatives abound on the fax board to describe today's efforts and fax folk who were there seem genuinely thrilled that you were so competitive.

To be so happy about being competitive against a team you think are garbage is a bit baffling and maybe slightly disrespectful to your players, but each to their own.

Or maybe you're taking the pi$$?

OK then, I will.

Matt James plays in the NL1 for Halifax, but he's a Bradford Bulls player on loan to Halifax who can't get in their 1st team. Is he a reserve grader or a 1st teamer ? Please choose your answer carefully. Take into account that Halifax don't have a reserve team and Bradford Bulls do. I'll give you a clue, he doesn't actually play for Bradford reserves when he plays for Halifax.

I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about Ben Black. As I said, correct me where I am wrong.

Maybe you are ? are you saying that your team played the best you have seen. I know my team played the best I have seen for many a long year but I have also seen Cass play better than that so what do you think?

Anyway i hope you lot do get Gateshead in the next round but for all the right reasons. Also think you will give Leeds a game too.

i tend to agree with marillion man here. i think ben black could make the step up to super league he went through your defence on a couple of occasions today and has quick feet he is small but effective.

he could make the step up to super league. if you would have seen how he has played all season you would have seen thagt plus if he is that bad why are your fellow supporters wanting you to sign him. seems your in the minority that wouldnt want him.

he played well today and stepped up against a super league side. although i would have given the man of the match to beswick myself.

Wasn't Ben Black the player who effected the only 40-20 in tonight's game, one which we scored from ?

Wigan will get Gateshead, I'd put money on it.

Halifax are a great club, always been a fan and used to love the games in the 80's when you lot came in your thousands inc the trumpeter who kept everybody entertained pre-match in the lifeline bar.

You're on the rise on the pitch and the fans are slowly coming back, keep it going.
