They do two audits, one half way through season, one after the season has finished. Featherstone have signed how many players since half way through the season? In fact, in Nabahoo's own words they were going to sign Gareth Carvel before the RFL warned them about the salary cap.

Our chairman was working closely with the RFL when Nabahoo was trying to sign these so called players because he probably knew we couldn't afford them and he told us all at the last fans forum
As far as I am aware we have only signed Blackmore and possibly Kent and got Annakin and Trout on DR with a view to keeping them if all goes well there has been other loan players but they all went as soon as Probiz and Poskitt went and we have played better without them to be honest It has also allowed two of our 19 to move up as you saw yesterday

As far as im concerned, the season is over, our little run of form was more to do with the fixtures falling right.
Featherstone may slip up, but having beaten us twice, and not relying on the wonderful bonus point, I believe they will be deserved of 2nd and the money that goes with it, for a few years now they have been the team to beat, and Leigh deserve all the plaudits for a revival that would make Lazarus sit up.
I'm sorry to say this as I think the hardy souls that have stuck by the club deserve a little better than we have seen for a couple of years, but essentially the club is reaping what its sewn.
Unless we can find a coach who can improve players and over achieve, we're in for a tough few years.

We have signed a few since mid season, but if you do your research a bit better, you'll see that we've also offloaded plenty too.

You do know that both Leigh and Featherstone were given dispensation to spend the extra £100k that the Championship rules allow, if you can demonstrate that you have the money.

Harrison can moan on all he likes, most people think he's a pretty poor coach. Not me though, I think he's great and I hope he stays at Halifax for many more years.

My Fax friends never cease to amaze me , its only a few days ago Big Karl was coaching the Leagues Form team unbeaten in around 9 games ,and second spot virtually yours , however after Sundays defeat (Which Charlie predicted ), you are now demanding Karls head Fev are a very good team , Fax are not a bad team either , why panic ?

I know Halifaxjohn and Bentleyman along with Dutchy will be hurting at the moment , but they wont lose faith , you have 2 winnable games to come , who knows what will occur in them , a wise man once said "Never change the way you lean towards the wind ", and I agree .

To be honest with you we dont deserve 2nd, I would be disappointed to see us get it as Harrison would be given a new deal and proceed to p1ss away the 450k on a couple of Batley rejects.

Without he bonus point god knows where we would be. so really we are fortunate that we have third barring a massive fev screw up. and that's the bad thing with the extra 450k he would let Fieldhouse leave and replace him with another forward

Re: Coaching options for 2015 : Tue Aug 19, 2014 1:24 pm  

It there were no bonus points and a win gave you 2 points 1 for a draw we would be in 4th place, I think.

Re: Coaching options for 2015 : Tue Aug 19, 2014 10:42 pm  

On games won/drawn, we'd be in 4th place and playing Doncaster next up for 3rd place. If the points deduction for Doncaster is upheld (they are appealing against the decision I think), then we'd be in 3rd, with the game with them still making 3rd place up for grabs (a draw would leave is in 3rd).

Are we being over critical of Rhino? We are third and before Sunday we were on a good unbeaten run....
