Fax 26 Featherstone 18





MOM Branighan



Att 2653

i'm loathe to. I'm useless at predicting results.

On our forum i agreed we'd find it tough and maybe we could lose this one.

However, daryl is confident and he's prepped the team very well. Only steel was injured but that might give zak a run, who is one of the best young prospects in the league!

No, i'll wait and see. Predictions have a habit of biting folk on the @rse

Powell didn`t look too worried when he was leaving the Shay after the match yesterday, he looked quite pleased with himself.I hope he`s not looking that pleased when he`s leaving this Thursday.

I'm currently topping the prediction league and I've gone for 24-20 to Fax, so I hope to keep up my run but it will be bit of a nail biter on the night.

More than likely a points fest again or a tight low score affair like barrow and widnes away for us



Hopefully DP has worked on the errors that were apparent during our last game



Are both stands going to be open like the playoff game last season?



I dont think there will be that kind of figures coming on thursday but i would be expecting a decent away following despite the date of fixture and it being on sky



44-34 fev

So much of our games this year have been down to what flavour ref turns up:

Prediction (with anti-fax ref) 24 - 32 Fev win

Prediction (with fair ref- if there is such a thing) 35 - 28 Fax win



Sneaky suspicion that we will get another prima-dona with a chip on his shoulder again being as it is on Sky. Chocky hob-nobs in the ref's changing rooms before the game please!

I think at the moment form will win out in this one and Fax are on a roll at the moment. As i said a few weeks back, we need this win and I think that's the difference on the night. With a trip to Barrow still on the cards it's a massive game for Halifax. Come on Fax!!!



Fax 24-22

MOM: Black

Looking at them fixtures i feel fev will fade and the top 2 will be fax and leigh.With my team widnes i am unsure where we will come.Depends on injuries and our loan players.Leigh have benefitted well with the loan players, as Warrington and Saints dont recall them so often.

I see only 1 game we could lose to end of season and thats Barrow (A).



Given current form and the inevitable return of Maloney and Makali (end even Miles) all other remaining games are winnable, a good result this Thursday will set us on the road for the title IMO.



Come on Fax we should do it by a country mile

Ok, we narrowly beat Dewsbury last week, but tbh i didnt think we got out of first gear and being run so close will act as a kick up the @rse in my opinion.

Also dont forget following our defeat to Toulouse we Went away to both Leigh and Toulouse within 4 days and came away with the spoils, not bad going if you ask me!



Fev 26- 20 Fax

It will be a belter, they always are at the shay.
