Twice the player Brandon Moore is ....NOT . Grix was good but he is becoming increasingly average as his stats will show. ,it was good to have him on the field but the young ones are catching him up on effectiveness.
Time waits for no man

Good Signing, spent most of his career in super league so certainly the right calibre! Happy with this one.

I dont think anyone will be over the moon with any signing until its either a top drawer fullback or half.

in other news, i was watching the League Express live thing on facebook and Matt Shaws exact words were - 'Halifax have got a few things they're working on that will probably change the perception of them'

the whole conversation was ed around transfers so read in to that as you will

....As his stats will show. I'm not sure if you are trolling.

Re Kavanagh he should do a good job for us but I would imagine with his wages and what was saved on Tangata we could have brought in some real star quality as Im pretty sure its not really our pack that is lacking. Still he does improve our pack and we just have to hope that the star signings will follow.

I agree GFB. We need a big exciting signing to get season tickets selling.

I read posts on here regularly. What do people want. We haven't got lots of cash. The team did well last year on a smaller budget than most in top six and still part time.
Recruitment going well and 're signings good.
Stop moaning do you want to be like Leigh or Bradford.
Club going in right direction. Get behind the club.

I understand what you are saying but Leigh had a shot at SL and Bradford's trophy list is endless. Do you want a shot at that or do you want us to tread water as we are at the moment with no realistic chance of promotion? It is catch 22 for the club, everyone can see we need to take a chance at some quality signings but that is going to mean financial risk with the possible reward been more bums on seats. If you never take a shot you will never hit the target.

Please stop talking common sense, its not the done thing on here.

Looks like Fuzzy Duck was spot on with Ben Kavanagh. Nice one. Fuzzy Now let's see if he's right yet again with Scott Grix ……………………….

Spot on.

We simply can’t compete financially with Toronto, Widnes or Toulouse next year when it comes to player recruitment. Realistically our target next season will be a top five finish and an upset in the playoffs.

To repeat. We've had three out of four finishes and the rewards that go along with that. The time has come to speculate to accumulate. If you're happy to watch us plod along hoping for a play-off spot then get hammered, well that's your choice. I'm not and the failure to boost attendances these past few season's suggest the Halifax public aren't either. Up The Fax!

Fully agree with not being able to compete financially with the teams you mentioned but they can’t sign everybody and we can compete with the rest.

Realistically if we don’t or can’t try and sign a good quality fullback or any other player better than we allready have then no doubt we will compete but it will likely be us that experiences the upset as we fall just short again.

This.

Not so sure about the club moving forward, feels more to be treading water.

The club is “Treading Water” and with present finances will do nothing else - it may well go backwards if clubs like Bulls, Featherstone and others can generate funding.

For us I just don’t see where money will come from to “speculate” with, our last set of acconts don’t indicate any hidden reserve funds...perhaps someone can enlighten me?

Maybe speculate is not the right word, maybe a case of been more shrewd with the finances. As an example instead of signing a prop that is probably on more than some of our backs, how about pool that money along with Tangata's freed salary and bring in a flair player who might ignite fans passion.

Aye.
