You've already posted that on the Halifax forum

Calland is a born and bred Widnesian so naturally he has a big mouth.

His cocky nature will get him in trouble sooner or later, always said Fax are peaking to early.......................

Close but no Banana yet Matt

Halifax are playing the best RL in the championships by a country mile at the moment

As for the best team , they are the ones that win the trophy's

The weight of being the favourites has cause the downfall of much better teams than Fax

But all the same , well done you are proving that good exciting attacking RL can also produce wins , it is down to the rest of us to raise our games to the level you are now at , well done

I think haveing "ANY" Championship team which can compete with a SL team, even for one game . Brings more news worthy columns than "The Golden Chalice" which is CC.

Did he ever give that sample to the Police after he refused to take that drug test? The Halifax club lost all my respect when they refused to sack Calland over that incident. Doesn't set a good example to the "family game".

Still doesnt beat Mr.Calland who IIRC has been charged 4 times, not too sure about the result of the other 2

Anyway, Fax are undoubtedley playing the best rugby in the Championship by miles, getting the best results but will they be the tortoise or the hare? We've been there before and been bitten on the ass so enjoy whilst it lasts
