Very happy with that, adds stability and if there is to be a next step he is in as good a position as anybody to be able to take it.

Shows his commitment, something behind the scenes must be right for him to put pen to paper again.

Fantastic news. Yes he's made mistakes but on the whole he's been a breath of fresh air and done an excellent job. Imagine he feels he's got something to prove again after this year's result, and his commitment brings some continued stability to the club. All about small but rapid steps to improve, rather than giant but ultimately unsustainable leaps. Think this'll really help recruitment efforts, he's just got to get the right players in this time

Well done BOD

Was going to say there must be something good behind the scenes that he is happy with. I bet he hasn't been short of offers. Great consistency and a good up and coming coach showing commitment. All good. Now get recruiting for that top four next season. A bit of pace to work off Tanga's hit ups and Gaz Moores passing skills will be great

Happy with that.Continuity and pleased to read that we still have some money left to invest similar amount for next season. Less is more for me. Smaller squad more quality. Agree re this season though. Let's try finish on a high.

Re: Big Annuncement ? : Thu Aug 04, 2016 6:50 pm  

moved forward since he arrived and still to take us further. great news.

This is great news! For both Richard and the BOD. Thank you for your commitment and putting the money up to keep a great Young British coach at Halifax.
Coaches takes time to settle in accumulate the squad they want and start to produce the games/squad/ up coming players they want.
For me, this shows our BOD and coach and coaching staff all talk to each other and are striving for the same goal and (very importantly) support each other. UP THE FAX.

Is it such a big announcement?

Where else is he going to go? Super League clubs not sniffing around him, other championship teams coaching static.

Irrespective of that I like the stability it brings to the club, next season will be a real test of his qualities.

Re: Big Annuncement ? : Thu Aug 04, 2016 9:14 pm  

I've said , I rate RM this is good news for Fax , but believe me it won't be the last, the Championship needs a strong Fax side,whatever we at Leigh do next season,I think Fax could make an impact next year, but Cmon Fax fans your crowds do need to increase.
