The fact that he's called Fairbank is good enough for me,even though I disagree with the DR system.Just so long as we dont have a few players on this system.One is enough,2 at a push.

The good thing about this is that Halifax have a second rower of great potential.

This is a lad who has been Academy/Reserve Team Player of the Year for the last two seasons and who is highly rated by their coaching staff. One of them compared him to a young Nathan Hindmarsh.

I can see this being beneficial to all parties.

I don't think anyone is knocking the lad, just the bloody system.

I totally agree with you mate, but let's play the system & see where it gets us. Karl is quoted in tonight's courier article and I agree with his comments. Interestingly, he says that Nathan Brown doesn't promote too many lads from within their academy. It's easier to promote a young back than a young forward nowadays I.M.O. they're so big in the forwards.

That'll go down well then

Tbf I don't thin Brown has done too bad he's given a few a chance whilst trying to be really competitive on the pitch (help boost crowds etc). Also until Sharp took over undone think Hudds academy was anything special so will take time to come to fruition.
