Prompted perhaps by Said Tamghart's record!
He wasn't having the same problem 10 years ago as he crossed the line at the Shay for Wakefield as Trinity won 36-16 on June 9th 1999!
As did Adam Hughes for that matter.
June 2009 has opened full of promise for Halifax with the prospect of some vital matches. But it wasn't the same a decade ago.
The club's full realisation of it's spiralling debts was casting a shadow over the place and chief executive Nigel Wood was spending plenty of time on the phone with insolvency practioner Peter O'Hara and players union CEO Abi Ekoku.
Wood was extremely downcast during this period as he wondered if all the hard work and effort in moving from Thrum Hall and seeing the team finish third in Super League in 1998 was going to, in his words, "unravel completely."
On the field the month got off to a shocker with defeat at Warrington on Friday June 4 and with Jamie Bloem being sent off a couple of minutes from time after being accused of biting Lee Briers.
His disciplinary at Red Hall had taken place in the same week that Wakefield turned up and won so convincingly on the Wednesday night and the manner in which it was conducted had David Hobbs fuming because Briers, after making the allegation, didn't bother to attend the hearing at which he was obviously the key witness.
Hobbs and John Pendlebury were definitely feeling the pressure by now.
When the Blue Sox had crashed at Leeds by 70 points the previous month Iestyn Harris had wandered into the post-match press conference nonchalantly eating a piece of pizza for a casual chat with the assembled journalists.
After a few minutes he was left standing noticeably on his own as Pendlebury entered by another door and the press pack shot over to bombard him with questions, many of which referred to his potential resignation.
The paperwork which finally saw the club enter into it's CVA was signed formally in the afternoon of Friday June 25th.
It was closely followed by the resignations of Pendlebury and Hobbs after O'Hara and Co cancelled their contracts and put all players over the age of 24 on offer.
The previous Friday had seen another defeat at the Shay, 0-24 at the hands of Castleford, where the team had been minus the creative hub of Gavin Clinch and Chris Chester.
The rumour on the streets was that Wigan, now that Andy Goodway had just replaced John Monie as coach, were more than keen on the pair.
The absence of the two halfbacks was seen as crucical to the defeat but, as Wood pointed out afterwards, there had been similarly dismal displays earlier in the season when the pair had been on the pitch, most notably at Sheffield and Gateshead.
Finally just to prove that it was a bad month for more than a few players, June 1999 saw Hull FC cancel the contracts of.....Martin Hall and Matt Calland!
