Just remember also sheffield had knocked us out the cup last season. I do not think Grix is the man for the job no experience what so ever as off yet

It would appear,results wise, that he isn't. Nonetheless he's the man in charge now and as such we should all get behind him. It's his team now and it's up to him to get the best out of the excellent players he has to chose from. We shall see. Up The Fax!

Perhaps not the best choice of words, but Toulouse, Fev and York clearly have had more money to spend and it shows in their squads.

Doesn't mean other teams can't beat them or even finish above them in the league, but in terms of the squads they have been able to assemble, three teams have clearly been in a more advantageous position. I'm not sure that's a particularly controversial thing to say.

hello phantom i would also add fairbank,spinger,murrey wouldnt look out of place in those teams you mention i also think those sides are better coached witch always helps make players look better

Yes, those three would all be in contention for a place, they're all good players. Think you could argue either way whether they would get in the 17 at Toulouse or Fev.

I mentioned the big three, not the big one, it's got nothing to do with being immodest or graceless. My point was very clear that I don't think Halifax have had the same resources to build their squad. Do you think I am wrong?

No DR this year, try to keep up! And most Fev fans were as against the concept of DR as you were.

And to be fair to T, F and Y behind the money and squads there has been a massive amount of work going on to get the cash in and in many other areas to get them where they are.

No freebies just hard work from the top down as with a lot of other clubs which for me means a great comp with some cracking games for us all to enjoy all throughout the year.

I’m sure it will be the best for a long time.

Nothing to do specifically with your Big 3 comment, more to do with the way Fev fans have been over the last 10 years or so whenever you get a little success. Bit like the year you had champions emblazed on your kit before you'd won the grand final (which you lost lol)

"Fev fans" - all of them or a few vociferous ones on social media (and yes there certainly are some)?
Every club has a few mouthy fans who either get full of themselves when they do well, or get jealous and bitchy when other clubs do better than them.
