Talking to Ash Lindsay last night in the pub. He told me he's on his way to Halifax along with Handforth.

Spoke to Handforth at Allrounders game yesterday, as he coaches Methley Royals. I asked whether he would be following Karl to fax and he replied, only time will tell with a big smile on his face. just as the methley team left he then said to me 3players.

My guess is
Ash Lindsey (from previous post)
Handforth (for obvious reasons)
Daley Williams (Halifax lad who Karl appreciates very much)

When's his official start date - NOW?

I'm pretty sure Karl appreciated ALL the Batley players and the feeling appeared mutual looking at how they always bust a gut. Probably the hardest team to beat this season. They never gave up, great defence and even at 24-14 down playing up the slope they came back.

Watching a recording of the match today I'd say their stand out players were Handforth, Lindsey, Preece and one player who surprisingly hasn't had a mention yet, Dane Manning. Always thought Handforth is a very good player .... he ran the show at The Shay in this season's match.

Re: Karl Harrison : Sun Sep 11, 2011 7:40 pm  

Manning is a fabulous player, appreciated by all at Batley, he actually won the supporters man of steel award this year. We would be delighted if he stayed under the radar. As for the others, I personally would be sad to see Williams go as I really rate him, though he has proven to be injury prone. As for Lindsay, I think one of your posters descrobed him as an average player. . . . . . . well he most certainly is not. As for Handforth, not disappointed if he goes purely because I would expect him to go, pure class and right up there with the very best stand-offs in the division, if not the best. We have had two and a half really stand out seasons from him.

Pretty fair appraisal is that.

Welcome back Karl, you are true to your word being Halifax through and through!
I cannot wait for next season now as we need to regroup and you are the man that can lift us back to the top.

Re: Karl Harrison : Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:13 am  

The announcement is all over Sky News.
Oh hang on, no it isn't because it has nothing to do with SL.
How will the RFL ever get expansion if it can't get any publicity for it's 2nd tier?

Re: Karl Harrison : Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:16 am  

Great signing by the board - thank you for securing Karl Harrison as the new coach.

Should be a good 2012 - exciting times.

Meanwhile back in 2011 - there are still exciting times to be had. We have a good squad and a current coach who are within grasp of doing something magical. Just imagine winning the GF from 6th place. Any why not? There is not a team ahead of us that we should fear. Every single one of them fear Halifax RLFC.

I think we should put discussions about potential players to one side and give the current squad our full support.

well said!

a club getting to the final from 6th is a huge achievement in itself.....so fingers crossed. but to actually win it aswell?!

no doubt the clubs staff will be more than focused on selling 3 more big performances to the squad (all against teams we have beaten this year already) and we retain our 'champions' crown!

up the FAX!!!!!
