Never heard of Charlie Renilson and I thought you knew something about Rugby Charlie! He was a Great Britain Loose Forward in the sixties. Played in the days of Scroby, Roberts, Foggarty, Dixon et al. Can never remember him missing a tackle but then I might be bias, as he was my favourite Fax player of all time

Charlie R was my boyhood hero too Kelvin. Though it could easily have been you after you slammed a timekeeper into the wall at Thrum Hall. Charlie would have been proud of that cover tackle.

A bit disappointing yesterday but fair play to Fev they found a weakness and exploited it then shut game down. we havent been able to close a game down when in front like that a few times this season.

Roll on playoffs.

If you people wish to watch that garbage week in week out, enjoy yourselves while you're there.

Charlie never heard of Charlie Renilson ? Embarrassing comment lad, hang your head in shame, you know relatively nothing.
When he packed up to go back to Aus, he gave my old man one of his Fax shirts with the number 13 on the back.

If you visited Thrum Hall every year, since around 2000 it's been an Asda, you can order online it's easier than a 70 odd mile round trip, they'll deliver to your door you know. Just trying to be helpful that's all.

MM you seem a bit more upbeat now , if your humour is anything to go by , just a bit though .

Good to see so many remembering Charlie Renilson the best cover tackler ive ever seen,that was in the day they tackled round the ankles,what a team we had then with Dixon.Fogerty,Roberts etc

Well I've waited 24 hours to calm down and be able to find summat positive to say about yesterdays game. The trouble is I haven't and I can't. KH's comment before the game "we will have to be at our best to even get anywhere near Featherstone" set the tone and says it all about his approach to the game. Totally 2nd best in every aspect of the game yesterday against a Rovers side in disarray and shorn of half of their 1st choice players, an absolutely disgraceful display from Halifax RLFC. At least I met MM in Dirty Dicks and had a good rugby natter with him. Rat & Rat. Mallinsons Cascade 4.0 % Mmm!

.....and thats why we let you have Saxton! What a big choke against us! Hardman and crookes ripped his confidence in that first half, the other ex fev contingent not much better

Saxton wasnt to blame for any of the 4 tries.

Scott murrell best half outside SL? Do me a favour! Abysmal kicking game yet again, always found wanting when we show up in town

Best 13 actually, just our coach does not realise it.

Fieldhouse only fax player who can hold his head up high today

Our coach does not rate him enough to offer him a new contract. The lad should be ready to step up to SL but instead has gone stale under a coach with no clue how to get the best out of him. Luckily the move to Dewsbury should turn out to be very good for him.

Re: Good Grief : Tue Aug 19, 2014 1:54 pm  

Ryan is The best fullback in the division I would say. Says it all about KH's man management unfortunately. The Postern Gate, York. Enraptured 5.5% Mmm!

Re: Good Grief : Tue Aug 19, 2014 2:05 pm  

After that non performance by Team & Coach very downhearted,the Fans turned up they didnt,no plan B,Fev superior in all departments not even a pint of Saltaire
"New World Red" 5.3% at Leeds could cheer me up
