Welcome back to the club Karl, I am sure you will do well for us. On another note I hope there is a place in the coaching staff for Damian Ball, as he has been good both on and off the field for Halifax RLFC.

Welcome back, Karl. A great appointment. Karl's track record is impressive and he'll do a great job I'm sure.

And I think this is the first time for many years we've taken on a new coach with past experience as a Head Coach. Matt Calland, Faz and TA were all "wet behind the ears" when jumping on board so were on a hiding to nothing when things didn't go well, with the usual "he's not up to it" kinda stuff. Can't remember if Martin Hall had past experience. The last coach I think was Steve Linanne. So when we hit the inevitable "sticky patch" Karl will hopefully command more respect than some of his predecessors.

Welcome back, whilst we need some personnel changes what we don't want is to bring in Batley wholesale. Some additions but the big fella should also look at who we've got who can be brought on with his experience. We certainly want to keep our 'Entertainers' tag.

Heard that two from a Halifax player that was watching Park this aft.
If everything he says's is true, next season will be very exciting.

Welcome back to Fax Rhino a 3 year contract is fantastic news. Exciting times ahead.

I think he was coach at Hull KR when they were still in the National League 1.

Delighted with this news. Welcome back Karl and well done BOD for making it happen.

He also coached Rochdale when we had Linnane , we managed to get Les` back off Martin by geting a consortium together .

Welcome home Karl

A 3 year deal shows commitment from both the club and Rhino.

We still have this season to finish first though before we start speculating on playing staff

Dead wood you pr1ck ? We're the current champions & still in the mix. our lot meanwhile, all scrubbed and knocked out..............

Maybe Deadwood is the wrong word but I think the likes of Paul Smith, David Larder, Adam Rudd, Mike Ratu, Frank Watene, Ryan Clayton will not be playing for Fax next season. I would nt be too surprised to see 12 or more players go from this years squad as we have looked weak in certain areas and others will retire and Karl will want to make changes

Bit harsh on Clayton and Smithy who have both performed pretty well the last few weeks. I'd be tempted to give them another go. In fact for thinking our back row always seems a weak link, with banno, smith, clayton and fairbank there we are starting to look very very solid

Pete interviewed Dave at the dinner Fri night and he said he had played his last game for the club.

Ryan Clayton has got job with Sale sharks so can't see him still playing rl

He has been doing it this year and playing so why not again next year?
