No amount of social media is going to make the players we have 'improve' and its also not going to make the brand of RL any more entertaining. I'd suggest while its good were talking about Fax TV and its good the Club are doing this, we need to remember its only what we should be doing in this day and age.

That's not to say peoples efforts are not appreciated, and its a good thing to be doing, people will get slicker at it.

I'm more concerned that we sign prospects, play 5 drives and a kick (poorly) and players stagnate with us. People in the club may think its ok, will admit it could be better, and say we still have time to change our fortunes. If we cant though, I see us finishing the year with a 3 figure crowd or two and the saying 'its takes years to win a customer and only seconds to lose one'

biting us on the behind.

Look at the tries we score, compared to other sides, even Dewsbury, our attacking options are poor, Murrell is vastly overrated in my opinion, I know we have to make the best of what we have, and I don't think we are currently getting the best out of Scott or the rest of the team.

I would urge Karl to remember the quote about insanity and doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. He may change the players, but only because they don't carry out his dull instructions. The plan stays the same.

Divorty and Manning used to be great attacking options out wide, albeit making breaks that our centres couldn't, but just on a general note they have gone backwards, as has Luke Ambler, they are all still good players, but I would like to see them kick on and improve their games, their conditioning (Luke) and be the players we know they can.

Hopefully they wont be listening to Iron Maiden - Wasted Years in years to come and thinking s^&t

Can't see why you pick out Luke, hidden agenda? 70 minutes last week and more game time than any of our other props all season.
Is that going back?

Colin, on another post long ago Gregg mentioned big minutes and I think you said "a minute is a minute"
or something like that,
Anyway how are you Colin and more importantly how is the little one, what position do you think he will play?
Greetland 8 is a prop and Jake is a half back, so I think Grandson No1 will be a full back.

Re: Fax TV : Sat May 31, 2014 7:21 pm  

For the benefit of Halifaxjohn and Nat, I happen to think Luke is a very good player and am very pleased he plays for Fax, my point is I think he could really tear this league up and think he still has bags of potential to play at the very top level, when he came to us from Leeds however he was much fitter (I don't have bleep test evidence) and hes put on a bit of timber, I still think him and Tonks are a great couple of props for this league too, I just hope Robinson isn't his personal trainer, less lifting Subways I prescribe.
My concern as stated many times and pointed out by many fans is players do not seem to kick on and improve at Fax.
The side we have has potential far beyond our current form or league position, and I will reiterate, what we are doing isn't working.

Re: Fax TV : Sun Jun 01, 2014 8:41 am  

I am not totally convinced about our fitness. I've mentioned before that we do seem to concede a lot of late tries . As regards other points made by Justthebasicfax I also think some of our players do seem to be regressing . IMO Tonks is not nearly as destructive as what he once was , while Manning , Adamson and Ambler are just not playing as well while Murrell should be used at 13 where pace isn't as important as it is at 6. The backs also just do not seem to be playing like they can. Perhaps it is just a confidence thing , a couple of wins really could kick start our season . Or perhaps it's a bit deeper than that ............coaching , tactics etc must all impinge on how players play the game .

Re: Fax TV : Sun Jun 01, 2014 8:54 am  

It's so obvious Murrell should be at 13. Why do you play him at half back Karl? If he had the pace to play there he would still be in sooper league. Getting the best out of players is a mainstay of a coaches job and the best postion for Scott and the team is loose forward.

Re: Fax TV : Sun Jun 01, 2014 9:06 am  

By playing Murrell at 6 we have taken a player who would be the best 13 in the league and turned him in to a ten a penny stand off.

Deary me John, the halo is slipping my friend.

I do admire the (misplaced) loyalty you give to Harrison and his coaching staff, it would make Kim Jong-un blush.

It's a shame you've had to bring in the language though, any remote chance of maintaining the moral high ground has now disappeared. Accusing other forum members of hiding behind their keyboards, obviously do as I say and not as I do eh John?

Congratulations to the players today, at least we shut out a game that could have gone either way by the sounds of it.

Jim Bergerac (Batley fan I think) last week came out with a great post citing Harrison as a Rasputin like figure at the club.

Can anyone confirm whether or not Harrison has been offered a new deal?

In answer to that, no.
