Re: DR arrives : Wed Jun 10, 2015 4:31 pm  

Hudds Shay is very harsh, id recommend Taylors Golden Best or Pale Ale before reacting these random bitters seem to more than bitter by name haha. One player shouldn't cost us our chances against Hunslet.

As for the situation RM is in, I don't think getting someone in for the sake of it is worthwhile, but I don't see this as doing that, we needed cover quick, and hes got it, Scott will have to revert to chief playmaker again and we have a bit of extra cover and zip from acting half as an option with Connor.

This isn't going to be fixed over night, unless we can do a Leigh and sign someone (that old fashioned Sporting idea) and even that may not work short term.

Support goes now to Connor, and continued trust in RM and the BOD's to do their best with situation we have.

DR isn't a lot different from having several players with Biscuit Knees, if you accept they are unlikely to be someone you can build a side around. Craven went well, we should be thankful he played well for us and move on.

Question for the disgruntled.....

What's the difference between Craven's loan recall & DR?

Re: DR arrives : Wed Jun 10, 2015 6:11 pm  

Much as we need reinforcements in the hooker/half back role I still stand by my view that DR is wrong & making a mockery of the game.
I dont need to grow up. My view is consistant & based on what's good for the game. I support a TEAM not a ever changing collection of individuals

Unfortunately, very little but a season long loan should last a season. I'm also against recalls on loans

Plus Fairbanks, there is no difference.
Its just that some of us see through spectacles some see through pint glasses.
Mmmmmmm.

I don't think any of us are actually in favour of D/R and loans, its just that the RFL have, in their infinite wisdom brought both in.
Why would we put ourselves at a disadvantage by standing on the moral high ground.
Recalls, Rugby League and other sports lend players so they can get the game time they need, would a club lend a player if it knew it could not recall him because of injuries?
Richard has done the honourable thing, he has let Taylor go because it was promised, I bet if Craven hadn't been recalled now but in a few weeks Taylor would have his seaside sabbatical cut short.
We should always use the tools that are available to us.

The difference between Cravens recall and DR; Whilst at Fax Craven couldn't play for Widnes at any level, he was in all intents and purposes a Halifax player. Robinson is a Hull KR player who is playing for us this weekend and could very well play for Hull KR the week after, then us the week after, and so on. Makes a big difference in my opinion.

Re: DR arrives : Wed Jun 10, 2015 7:05 pm  

For those people who are against DR or loans just look at the size of our squad, without them, we would barely be able to put 17 players on the pitch.

How you doing Nat?
Help me out with this then.
Widnes recall Craven, but might release him next week. Loan.
Fairbanks has been recalled and then released, twice I think. Loan
Robinson is a lent to us but might be recalled, D/R.
If the headlines had said "Robinson loaned to Fax" would that have sounded better?

But that doesn't matter, surely its better to take to the pitch with half a team who are contracted to us, players who bleed blue and white, we don't want the mercenaries, we are Halifax, better to stick to tradition, lets not win anything whilst holding our heads up high.

On the other hand, you are absolutely spot on.
