Casey at fullback next season then?

If he's got another contract then I'm afraid I will not be going to watch the drivel he is serving up.

This tale about Karl getting an extended contract has been doing the rounds for quite a while now. The board don't appear to want to get drawn into making any announcements just yet, that's their prerogative & i don't blame them really. It should make it easier to do their sums for next season, call it an average home gate of around 1,000, i won't be one of them. No Championship RL to watch on Premier sports channel nowadays, sunday's free'd up without making the matchday commitment and i'm really not missing it one bit.
I've stated previously on here the admiration for the work that our board do, their commitments & sacrifices & i like to talk RL with a couple of them when i'm in their company but if i won enough money on the lottery i'm happy to say that things would be done my way at Halifax RLFC !!!

He might have a chance if he learned to pass a ball more.

His cut out pass to Potts for his try at Leigh was superb,pity Potts didn't reciprocate when it mattered !!

midweek game didnt seem to tire Leigh as they ran in 60 unanswered points ,
Cannot understand how he cannot rate Fieldhouse as he is consistently one of our best performers and top try scorer and usually looks like the only one who is going to make something happen,as for not being able to pass it dosnt stop him picking Heaton in the centre!!!

Harrison says that most teams have a pivot type player at FB these days but then again most teams can not afford Sam Tomkins so at these levels we have to make do with what we can but here is a novel idea, How about we play a pivot type player at LF ie. someone like Scott Murrell for example who is the best loose forward at the club.

It would not be a surprise if KH did not offer Fieldhouse a contract as it seems every time we sign a new player it gets mentioned that the new guy is cover for FB or to put pressure on Fieldhouse or as we saw last season and the beginning of this one any little mistake then it seems he is an easy scapegoat.

The thing is though the lad has got a talent that simply cant be coached in he knows where the try line is and unlike a lot of our players its not 50 yards away and admired from afar. His try scoring record speaks for itself so the coaching staff should be working with him one on one with the other stuff in his game which might be seen as weak areas. Who at the club can do that?

Who the hell would we replace fieldhouse with karl?

I'm a Fieldhouse fan and not wanting him to leave but as an aside didn't we sign Heaton
as potential cover ? was he ever tried there ? also we signed someone from Salford in close season
who's name escapes me as potential cover did he leave or is he u20s ?

Didn't we also play a young lad last year called freddie walker who did alright?

Potts was playing with a broken ankle - incredible that he managed to keep going at all

Joe Martin. very good prospect

it was jack holmes he as left and gone to leigh

Fieldhouse to North Wales Crusaders ?

Im a fan of Ryan's, I don't know the guy but he's the sort of player you want to see do really well. It's clear he's a good footballer but he's another player who seems to be going backwards and has felt the wrath of Rasputin on more than one occasion via the papers (just what you need when your playing at fullback and a confidence player).

For me he's just lacking a yard of pace and that killer instinct. Sad to say it maybe in Ryan's interests to find a club where he feels appreciated and they can bring out the best in him.

Ryan is very much like Shad to me, and with the correct coaching and tactics could be scoring for fun by joining the line at the right point. He does have pace, and hitting a gap in the opposition line from full-back is almost unstoppable with the right pass.
