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?

Smith possibly but not Clayton, still cant work out how he managed to play at SL level for so long.

Clayton I feel has not really done much at Halifax and whilst I wouldnt say he garbage I have heard from people that he wont be staying. Paul Smith is 33 or 34 and I think he may well retire or be a player coach elsewhere. Smith has done well but I think Karl will make some big changes in the pack especially
