I didn't go.....but would it be fair to say that we are trying to target games we can win.......ie Toulouse......hence a lack of people like Briggs?
Although they have hit good form just in time to play us.

From what I heard today we may be Briggsless for a while due to a pooible illness

Yes, it was just for info.

For the record, I couldn't see the alleged offence so I have no idea if the card was justified or not.

Credit where it's due, your youngsters did themselves proud today in that heat. It seemed to me that Halifax were complacent going into this game and it showed in the first half with the amount of errors they made and possession they coughed up.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

I was surprised at the number of Halifax errors having seen them against Widnes on TV.

Toulouse? It is not the same side than at the beginning of the season. They scored 46 points against Leigh and they are on a roll after scoring 60 points against Batley. Skybets places now Toulouse 3rd in terms of chance to win the Championship grand final. Beware of their new strength.

Well yeah......I can see that....in fact it says so in my post.

You wouldn't be surprised if you saw us play every week, were class at turning possesion over and giving away penalties when we've got the ball!!! Fair play to you today, thought your guys gave it a good go which is all you can ask for as a fan.

Thought there were some good play today, but we must get rid of the Tony Miller one man up stuff and start to be a little more adventurous, and why don't we change the kick off instead of up in the air every time.
But well done lads today against the top team in our division.

why would you want to do that apart from maybe this season 1 up boring rugby is the way whitehaven always played and it kept getting them to the playoffs probably cause they put the opposition and the fans to sleep.

Quite agree we looked like Lions led by a donkey today, the lads played with a lot of heart but we have no PLAN B.

AND

Why do we not go for the 2 points when we get a chance, its not like we breach the line that regularly with our ball up the jumper approach to Rugby.
