5 games in and we look thread bare. Really hard to change much up front when pretty much every forward has been beow par. I'm really not sure what to expect, Batley normally dominate us in the forwards and our pack has been awful so can't see anything other than that happening. I did chuckle about the comment on the Cas DR lad and Shane Grady, if we dropped every player who couldn't handle Grady Monday night Im not sure we would be able to raise a team and its going to be interesting to see the reaction of the players on the back of our worst performance in years.

Point out, are you blind, check out the majority of your own posts, zero about anything actually relating to a rugby league discussion or content just full of criticism or simple up the Fax comments with an attached symbol.

DR is a classic example of something that you never stop talking about but have no idea what your talking about just like your mate.

I’ve no idea what your doing on here since years ago when Fax first went into a DR arrangement you said that you were done with the club and if you can’t take it follow your own advice and move out.

Who's my mate? I haven't got any! Lindley Club, Copper Dragon Shive Banger 3.9% Mmm! Up The Fax!

I must apologise regarding the number of your forum moan events as there were actually less last month than in the previous 12.

Then again maybe not as there are only 28 days in February

I think we all agree our pack is ordinary..Is it classed as moaning if you expect greater things from a super league quota player if his minds on the job ?

No it’s not moaning when someone with a keyboard says the coach who played up front at the highest domestic level with some quality mentors is clueless when it comes to forwards and guilty of scandalous decisions , it’s worse, more like professional assassination from a amateur.

Previous quote: “but Grix is clueless in the forwards anyway,let's good ones go and deems two of his new signings as not been up to it bbefore round 1-which is scandalous.”

Having claimed that Grix can’t think or decide correctly you then go on to say that a player you know even less about hasn’t got his mind on the job!!

Are you a mind reader from behind your keyboard as well as being a master coach?

The insinuations just keep on coming, it’s all here in the posts guys which is precisely what happens when someone just makes things up!!

Keep on allowing yourself to justify it, it’s more than your allowing Simon and the club to do.

I think a little moaning is warranted but its probably unrealistic to expect any new player, no matter what level they play, to come on to the field for a team that is been totally dominated and be able to put in the sort of performance that some people seem to expect. Looking at our team for tomorrow I wish we had brought some DR players in as there are some players that will be playing that are not up to the job at the moment and although all this fairytale 17 Halifax born players in the team sounds nice, when I'm paying 20 quid to watch I want to watch the best team that we can possibly put out.

That’s not a bad shout but I expect wood to play just on the basis of the praise he got from Grix.

Re: Round 5 Halifax vs Batley : Sat Mar 04, 2023 1:29 pm  

Nick rawsthorne and Ben Forster are in the cas reserves side .

Re: Round 5 Halifax vs Batley : Sat Mar 04, 2023 1:32 pm  

Keeping the changes to 1,6 and 7 to a minimum is the likely option so can’t see JWH being moved, keeping it in house and not going with young Morgan from Leeds will mean KW in for Keyes and TI to cover hooker.

Other options.

In the pack will Ryan King get a slot and who will he go with in the centres as Batley have a bit of size and aggression in the side, is Maizen carrying a knock, could we see Cole Oakley in there?
