TBH why would you have a centre on the bench anyway, not the most commonest of tactics. Some of his selections baffle me and seem like desperate actions.

Unfortunately, there were only two options offered, maybe if the third option of "resign" was included we might not even have to have this discussion. Surely, but surely, he cannot be happy about the way games have ended up & the way his players have carried out his instructions.

According to the Courier he's not happy about it, the bigger issue is how does he fix it and he doesn't seem to be able to, otherwise we'd be second, and possibly playing some decent rugby.

People should be careful what they wish for I remember a lot of Fev fans wanting rid of Powell because we only won the one GF and winning the league every year wasn't good enough it was interesting to listen to your coach on Fax TV and what he at his disposal training wise He doesn't even have an office to sit and talk to his players in as well as not having a rugby field to train on how he does the video and analyse the oposition with is own team I don't know I understand that fans are unhappy but if the money wasn't there and he got you to the GF this year has he really been that bad a coach This year no one was going to beat Leigh to the top you could see that when they recruited I thought second was between us and yourselves and I believe we have been lucky because the coach we employed ripped the heart out of a good team got rid of good players and set us back I hope that you don't make that mistake if KH does go Sometimes I think as fans we are two critical of the coach when he is a small part of the club The question is would Fax be able to get anyone better than what they have got now and improve the team to win this league Next season will be interesting Leigh look like they are using the money to give to player I know Fev are not going to do that so lets see how the season pans out because only one team can get promoted if at all they do

Exodus of players will begin this week with London looking to announce the long rumoured signing of Adamson. To be fair though managing to keep hold of Manning and Divorty after interest from other teams and including Bracek and possibly Robinson in there we really should not miss him.

Re: Sack or back : Mon Sep 01, 2014 7:48 pm  

Let's say we stick with Harrison...

How are we going to attract anyone new to the club? Fans/players/sponsors? How are we going to convince the stay aways to come back who are staying away because of the boring, passionless rugby we've had for nearly 3 years.

New fans - Come and pay £15 to watch a great, exciting sport where you'll be richly entertained and which really delivers value for money when compared to SL clubs. Errrr...

Stay away fans - Come and watch your team really strive to get back to where we once were and where we believe we should be, back to the glory days with attractive, entertaining rugby to make you come back for more. Errrr...

Players - Come to a club where you'll play in front of packed crowds playing free-flowing, expansive rugby, you won't be criticised publically in the press and knowing if you're in form you'll be picked to play in the team and build great relationship with your teammates. Errrr...

Sponsors - They are seriously well looked after and the packages they receive in the East Stand are definitely competing at SL level. Then they'll go out to their seats/viewing area and see how their money is being 'used'.

It's easy just to stand still and stick with what we've got. Standing still doesn't move us forward though. We've got to move on to move forward.

Your closer than most on this subject GFB.
This weeks RL press quotes KH saying concerning players, Halifax have agreements in place and will be announcing departures, new arrivals and re signings in the next few weeks.

So it looks like Karl will still be here.

Re: Sack or back : Mon Sep 01, 2014 8:14 pm  

Sorry Karl (great player and Fax through and through we accept that and respect the man) get rid = sack
This club has 'lost its fans' a bit like he seems to have 'lost the dressing room' for me as how can a team play so badly in two big games and only play to their true potential in about 6 games all season?
The club are playing Russian roulette by giving Karl a new contract, if they do then be prepared to lose more fans and suffer a hit on their income, surely they cannot be stupid enough to give him a 3 year deal can they?????

Re: Sack or back : Mon Sep 01, 2014 8:40 pm  

Be honest, how many of you wanted Karl as coach even while Matt was in charge?
Come on, be honest.
