Ahh get you now. But normaly the employer checks on the details and deals with it accordingly! Obviously not in our case. |

What a knob
His job is to take away stuff like this from coach and players and allow them to concentrate on playing
Resign now Hall'"
He wasn't even around!! - The club allowed him to swan off for a month to sort his house out in France, not even sure he is back yet!!! - Thats how a professional outfit is run isn't it!! |

So who signed him then? Who is at fault for letting him play? |

Hall wasn't around for the Swinton game is what I was alluding to. Irrespective of who signed him the club is at complete fault for this shambles and collectively they have put the whole existence of the club on the line. He was even named in the squad for today!!!!! - A part of me has died today with this happening and we're the laughing stock of the RL World - They tightened the laws up after Hull so will completely throw the book at Fax. |

Me neither! I couldn't face the prospect of the Man Utd or Chelsea overkill on the TV so ventured down to The Shay for an RL fix only to be told ,by a Giants fan, the game was off! Crusaders v Catalans it is then.

Nor for me - a wasted 60 mile round trip!
I don't think I'm going to bother coming over any more to be honest - this is the last straw - the club is no longer worth wasting my time and money on.....and this after watching the Fax for 40 years on and off and for 22 years home and away on a regular basis.
I was surprised to see Ostick playing at Swinton as I believed him, at that time, to be cup-tied but assumed that the club knew and thought differently with good cause. My original assumption about Ostick appears to have been correct and my assumption about the the club's knowledge to have been totally misplaced.

Thought it was Swintons job to object and nobody elses ,they didnt and with the amount of ex Fax players in their mist surely Smithy and Watto as coaches new he played for Rochdale and let it go.

Cheer up guys. If you do get expelled, it means that you will be able to come over to Leigh on 30th May, instead of a replay of last season's fiasco of 'When shall we play it'?!

Who knows BUT is that the point?
Thread or not, VM or not, this is a schoolboy error of the lowest form and raises some serious issues at our club that need addressing.
one +ve from this will be action taken to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I doubt it very much as IMHO both The RFL and Halifax seem to lurch from one crisis to another |

Where do i come into this? my original email post was a joke, they should make Stanley Gene do community service or something to represent Fax, it wont harm him as he'll still be around in another 100 years.

Why would Smithy and Watto know this. Do you think they sit there after every Cup match to see if the Opposition have any players in there team that should not be playing. |

Come on Haighy, tell everyone who let you know first about the game being off and that you wouldn't believe them when they very kindly rang you as soon as they'd found out....! 
On the bright side, I found out a full two minutes before I was getting on the M62, so instead got on the M6 and had an enjoyable afternoon at the Crusaders! |

Well it is a right mess for your club but I cannot understand the criticism of the lad who started this thread.
Never shoot the messenger just because he is telling the truth.
Ostick is clearly at fault for not pointing out to his coach when he was selected for the Swinton game that he had already played for Rochdale in a previous round.
You would not have won the Challenge Cup anyways.
