I don't think he was advertising the game. I think he was making people aware of the next stage of marketing. I'm sure it'll be a tenner for the next game. 4000 fans on a mailing list. Maybe LS28, rather than fund a player not necessarily needed, could have covered entry fees v Toulouse to try and hook a good Halifax turnout to future games. 14th man v Toulouse required, because the RFL will appoint the appropriate 'officials'

Jeffvickers, I don t usually agree with your view, however this time I do think you make a good point. although coming to the business end of the year the team does need strength in depth and quality never does any harm.

Does make my previous remark (on another thread) about teams signing players for the playoffs seem rather moot! Before any one reminds me of the post!!!!

I don't know why the french lad needs adding to the squad in all honesty. Its not like we have an injury crisis. Unless Butlers due to move on

Some people are never happy....

Sign a decent player and all you do is moan. The squad is not large and injury's could leave us in the poop
