Ticket bought and baseball bat at the ready just in case we win and all hell breaks loose only joking about the bat. I am really looking forward to Saturdays game even thou it is a important game it feels to me like the pressure is off us now and we can go there empty what's left in the tank and see if that is good enough or not. 28 point start with some bookies shows just what we are up against. As for predictions i will leave that until later in the week.

28 point start, stick it up on the changing room wall, job done for SG.

It's a one off match. We've done it before and we can do it again. Whether we will get to the final remains to be seen but the boys have got to go there with belief and give everything and see where it takes us. Up The Fax!

Who knows on a one off match. I can remember going over there and being abused by some of their club officials complete with tie and blazer just because we won at the end . Ha you just never know . On paper its fev by at least 10 but in reality it could be close just wish we had the pace of a young worriency on the wing ..hope Harris plays for me he makes a difference even if he isn't one of grix favourites.

I wouldn't be surprsed to see us win this one. Literally no pressure on us and the reward is an end of season do in France. We are going to need some luck with the bounce of the ball and the 50/50 decisions but if we are in the game after 60 minutes Fev are going to be very nervous.

It's 5pm, 15 minutes to kick off. There's gloom and pessimism in the Halifax changing room. Suddenly Grix bursts in clutching a piece of paper, pins it to the wall and shouts "great news, guys! Skybet are giving us 28 points start!"

Suddenly the entire Fax team, previously unmotivated by this crunch semi final, are transformed and energised by the perceived insult from (checks notes) an overworked bookies' employee, and that incentive changes the entire course of the match.

So glad you are in agreement with me.

Too late pal, Greg Florimo's Boots has tentatively suggested that if everything drops right Fax might have a chance of an upset. Just wait till that gets published on the Fev dressing room wall!

We have NFC....Just like HKR at Warrington....

Fev by 27 points for me.

Only last week some Batley fan was on here saying they pinned something I said up in the dressing room and credited me for Batley's win. Was a little strange because what I said actually paid Batley a compliment.

I hav a good feeling we may sneak this against all odds. So far in SL hkr beat warrington who would expect that.

Am going for a shock result of 16-19
