Halifax RL head coach Karl Harrison will be looking for a more all-round performance from his troops as they prepare to take on North Wales Crusaders at The Shay on Sunday.
The coach was struggling to weigh up his side’s performance in their 20-20 draw at Workington Town where a last minute penalty from Carl Forber gave the home side a draw.
Halifax remain fourth in the Championship table and Workington are fourth from bottom – now without a win in their last six games.
“It was one of those games where we had it won, then lost it, won it back again and then late on had to settle for the draw,” Harrison said.
“I’m naturally disappointed that we didn’t win the game but at least we came home with something.
“I can’t fault the players for their mentality and approach, but I’m afraid the performance was not one of our best.
“We went to Workington knowing it was going to be a tough contest.
“Phil Veivers has come in and he will have improved the squad, so we knew that we would have to work hard for what we got.
“I didn’t know what their line-up was likely to be, and the one feature of the game for me was that their Wigan duel registration recruits were the best players on the field.
“I thought our forwards worked very hard, as they had to, but our backs just didn’t sparkle.
“We didn’t ask enough questions of Town when we had the ball.”
