So is he still with us or not?

We've had the rumours but nothing announced by the club.

I'd expect you'd hear something this week.

Speaking in a purely personal capacity Tony, and using your thread to put a relevant point across, I think It's unrealistic of people to expect the Club to make announcements about anything until things are definite, paperwork signed etc. etc. as it would look pretty stupid if events took a turn. Look at the Ye Olde Oak premature announcement for instance, and the Dane Manning furore. Although nothing was actually signed and the Club was desperately trying to negotiate with Dane they couldn't stop Batley making an announcement even though it could easily have blown up in their faces.

Batley knew an early announcement would increase the pressure on Dane and it seemed to work.

Contrary to what some users of this forum seem to think, I'd say the Club is far more open about its affairs than most, and board members and coaching staff are regular attendees at Trust meetings where they are open to questions.

The club have made a clear statement https://www.halifaxrlfc.co.uk/article/48914/. The was no "furore" over Dane, the club aimed to break their agreement with him and he was fortunate enough to be able to find another employer. Other players saw things differently. As others have said it's a short part time career and clubs are happy enough to jettison players at the end of contracts - or even during them "by agreement" I'm sure you've had times when you've changed jobs because of a poor relationship with your employers or left before they get rid of you, I certainly have.

Packing game in for businness reasons,latest..

Not a great loss for you guys. He's a very poor player.

Confirmed in todays courier he's not coming.Also DR will feature more prominantly next season.Won't boycott games for that reason,how about you Huddshay ?

DR with someone in same division? RFL

If it does indeed come to pass that we go down this road again, Fax will have lost one long time supporter. I have no interest whatsoever in watching other clubs players turning out for my club.

I'm all for it under the circumstances we are in.

I'd even push the boat out and say it would be nice to see some 'very high profile' players pull on the blue and white to help out the cause.

I have a feeling we'll get lumbered with Leigh or Huddersfield with no-name recovering crocks or unheard of kids no better than the likes of Butler, Nelmes & Woodburn-Hall.

We shall see.

It's salford

Jordan Andrade -might actually turn up this time..

Whilst I have gone on record as to not liking D/R, are Fax really in a position to do without this evil necessity ?
I am sure RM is only agreeing to it as a last resort and would r their use his full squad, give them game time,bring on the confidence and keep team spirit going within the camp, unless of course the club we D R with lend use some game breakers of renown. Until the the full facts are known everything is speculation, giving the 'ner do Wellers something to get into a lather about and spout more hot air.
Only my humble opinion of course.

I agree, it seems this is a necessary evil we need to put up with to survive.
