Was Sarsfield who I meant. Good signing for Swinton. Scored trys for fun at one point.

I would take Craig Kopczak on dual reg

I would rather we focus on developing our own young players and giving them chance to impress. All we are doing really is developing young players from Salford to their benefit. Don't see why we can't just loan players without entering a partnership. We must have a bit money in pot still after Haggerty and Manning left.

I doubt they were on much over 10K between them. Probably struggle to bring in anyone to improve the team for that and saves the club some money.

Really ? would have thought Mannings would have been a good contract.

Go on then,some bright spark tell me who i'm missing:-
1.Salty
2.Worrincy
3.Tyler
4.Heaton
5.Sharp
6.Murrell
7.Moore
8.Ambler
9.Kaye
10.Cahalane
11.Tangata
12.Fairbank
13.Grix
14.Boyle
15.Johnston
16.Grady
17.Barber
18.B Moore
19.Robinson

and

21 if you want to include Morgan Punchard

Thanks for reply but i'm classing Woodburn-Hall,Morris,Butler and Nelmes as the 4 youngsters mentioned.

Another kid,maybe you're right in that one of the others is now classed first team senior.

official page as both listed as first team

The reality is that unless the stay away fans turn up and the people of Halifax back professional rugby in the town then this is how its going to be. Survive or die! In an ideal world we wouldnt need to do this but Salford have been great with us and deserve a lot of credit. We have an opportunity to make our team stronger over the season and its my personal belief that we should do that at this time. All of our Halifax players will have the chance to stake their claim for a shirt and Richard will consider them first and foremost. If people dont like it then thats fine by me but we have to be competitive and most of all, realistic.
Quoting a fax director from facebook on dual reg--it's up to us supporters now....

Well said TH.

Cant argue with the fact we are where we are, and the team is what we can afford, but..... the punt they made on bringing through young players needs to pay off, hindsight is 20/20 but perhaps we should have spent more on the first team squad and made a few middle 8's before we whacked a load of cash into mini buses and started losing kids to SL sides.

Anyway, the point is, people need something exciting to watch, you don't go out for a meal because the restaurant might serve decent food in 5 years time.

No pressure chaps, but the beds made, and fans didn't buy the linen or make it.

Im still hopeful we can be galvanised into something, or at worst the other sides have bad seasons.

Its up to supporters is it? Who badly mismanaged a 700k windfall? Who ed off the council to the point they raised the rent?

Getting sick and tired of supporters been blamed for not turning up to the clown show that is this club. Marshall got the team working for a year and the club was given a perfect opportunity to build. Somehow in the space of 12 months our board managed to blow it all and have to cut costs to a level clearly worse that we were before 2015. Yet what do they do? Turn around and blame the fans for not turning up. It will be embarrassing to watch what Batley do with their increased funding, and it will be a third of what we got.

Can you provide a link to the Fax Director's quote, please?
