Very good and interesting post. I agree with almost all of it.

Excellent review. In my opinion Fieldhouse not as good this season as last. Although his stats don't lie. Callum Casey has a bright future. Worrincy should be a regular starter. More speed needed in half's for next season.

Harrison did try to bring in Andy Ellis but he went to Featherstone.

And Ellis looks to have made the correct choice.
Good posts above and agree with most of them though I feel we have underachieved both in the final outcome and week in, week out on the pitch.
I'm one of those that is seriously considering if I come down next season and I feel bad for it but to be honest I cannot get enthusiastic about the rubbish I am seeing.
I get as annoyed as anybody with Rob but I also love the excitement when he gets the ball and the chance that anything could happen.
If I want to watch 5 and a kick then I'll just sit at home and watch Pooper League, I want proper, exciting rugby so it's either me or Karl at the moment.
But hopefully it won't come to that when we sign some zippy halves.

Harrison will only be able to attract average backs. After all, if I was a decent Winger wanting to play for a team in this league, then I want to score lots of tries. Unfortunately, under Harrison, I will have nothing to do as the Centres will never pass the ball to me and I will have to run the ball in to relieve the forwards. The only tries I will score are from crossfield kicks and maybe an intercept or two. So I think it may be best I sign for a club that will help me enjoy my game more

Very insightful post!

Top post, I think the club need to get more professional like the other night at half time, a half hearted introduction to Fereti Tuilagi and a draw for the World Cup game won by the guy who drew it, Gary Schofield which I am furious about as many of us paid £2 to get a ticket and it seems like the club just fixed it for a 'celebrity' to win it and one who aint even a guy with Halifax connections!

With regards to Freddie, there is a limit on the music and sound levels we can use when Premier Sports are in attendance and Freddie was extremely happy with the welcome he received on to the pitch and commented on this afterwards.

The draw for the hospitality package for the RLWC had nothing to do with Halifax RLFC. Calderdale Council sold the tickets, arranged the prize and organised the draw. There were two Council employees present on the pitch when the draw was made. Garry purchased quite a few tickets so had as much right as anyone else to win.

I noticed in Schoey's weekly column in one of the trade papers this week he was very complimentary about both the match he witnessed & the hospitality he received at the Shay. All good press.
