I'm actually surprised how triggered some people are with Grix's decision to leave. You have to remember he had the offer of a new contract on the table before picking another team over us and the only incling he has had of fans booing was over at Batley which he actually defended in his interview. We know that Simon does not go on social media for the very reasons of not having to listen to fans opinions so he has had no idea about any unrest. For some people though they are still pushing the idea that he has been forced out of the club which isn't true. I imagine people will get over it pretty quickly like everything in sport.
Thing is his family do and have been subjected to hearing abuse at the games hence why they often stay away.
If any future coach uses Dr I would indeed disagree with him wholeheartedly. It would be wrong. You are indeed correct, for once, in quoting me re stopping support for the club due to dr. I tried it but I couldn't keep away. Now, IMG might just be the thing that finally drives me away. We will see. Up The Fax!
Well good on yer then Hudds for sticking to your guns.
Fully agree on DR and how it's ruined the game for example in producing false results, take for example our league game against Bradford. I'm convinced it was their multiple SL DR players that made the difference in comparison to their and our own in the cup game and away fixture.
The recent game at Batley, they were much the better side but how many points did Luke Hooley score for them and on the other hand it never seems to work for us and even if it did it would still leave like sort of a artificial taste to it.
Likewise with walking away I've been so close on many occasions I don't enjoy the game as much these days and keep going mainly just to support to club.
I have no faith whatsoever in the RFL or IMG and if Fax ever went out of business I'm 99.9 % sure I would never pay to watch another rugby league team ever again.
The part I strongly disagree with is your claim that all of our SL club partners are the masters of Fax and we have to do what they say, sorry it's 100% wrong.

Also many others involved within the club do and he's not deaf.
In a recent post match interview after winning a game Simon was asked the usual how he felt about the result. He replied yes it was good to get the win and at least I'll still have a job in the morning which was a direct response to all the crap.
It's just that in defence they claim their right to an opinion and just go into denial mode regarding the harmful effect it has on others.
This forum, along with the Facebook forum, is very much becoming a place where you are only welcome if you toe the party line, and if you are not one of the happy clappers then woe betide!!
We all want the best for our team, but we are all entitled to our own opinion on what that may be.
No one is being denied an entitlement to an opinion though are they?
On all wanting the best for our team picture the scenario where you’re actually part of the team and stood on the sidelines before during and after the game whenever something goes wrong you have this small group of people constantly criticising.
The coach is rubbish, should never have been given the job in the first place, any other coach across all the divisions would do a better job.
Why has he picked him, waste of space, must be his mate, should have kept so and so, etc, etc.
Think about how that would affect and motivate you and say it’s the best for the team.

Sounded to me like you were the one stalking Greg when you first came back on here.
Greg is that really you, is it really, really really really x 100 really you.
Where have you been, I've missed you so, so, much.
It is really really you. oh joy of joys.
Honestly, I am confused what you are talking about but I do have a hangover. Are you asking if I am TF or if I am The Blues Ox on TRL? Blues Ox, Yes but its not like that is a secret or anything if you had been paying any attention at all for the past 19 years. As for TF I can confirm I am not him and again if you can be bothered(I wouldn't advise it) go through the old spats that me and TF have had over the years over difference of opinions. The one thing I feel we have though is a mutual respect because at the end of the day we both want what is best for the team we have supported for decades.

Re Greg. No not saying you are Tony I know your not it was Listenup that made that quip in jest.
Re Tony. Just having a bit of fun with some of his shall we say comical suggestions and his "Is it really you" welcome post to you on his return a couple of weeks back.
Blues Ox, yes I did think it was you and as such know full well that you can more than cope with anything I might have to say ( I mean your if not exactly welcomed, at least tolerated on the Fev site and anyone who can survive on there must have the skin of a Rhino) but if I do cross the line just tell me and I'll apologise and stop as I never intend to be offensive.
If I read you right on here and Total there's a relevant reason I asked which I will post separately later.

Blumming 'eck, Greg, if you're gonna reply to faxcar don't quote him ....... it means I get a glimpse of his childish drivel! Hey, I really recommend the "ignore" function, you don't even know they've posted ..... unless you quote of course!
Ahhh yes, I remember our little "battles". Some name calling too if I remember rightly as things sometimes got somewhat heated. I can't even remember what we were arguing about ... probably the bloody coach! But then we were young and foolish and have now moved on ..............................

Typical everyone, likes to give it for weeks on end but after only a day can't take it, resorts to insults and he's running home to daddy.
