Karl Trout?

I am not infavour of DR and never will be but how can you not support the lads after what weve been doing recently? It irritates me that some fans find that using one player is enough to stop them going. Every club has used this policy and alot to simply 'beat' clubs that are arounf them. We have alot of injuries atm so we are entitled to use what is available to us aren't we? were hardly abusing the system. Get behind the lads we don't have a big enough fanbase as it is without fans boycotting games even when we are winning!!

btw is this the fourth club Trout has played for against us? Now that IS crazy!

How did Robinson get on?

looks lively with ball in hand, didn't get much gametime but did his job well

Unfortunately with the current situation if Fax don't use every option available to them when the club thinks it is necessary we'll be getting back to being Halifax RLFC mid table very quickly with worse to follow soon after.

Going into the biggest match of the season so far, RM is quoted on today's Courier website 'that he is waiting to see if Connor Robinson will be available for a third successive week' on dual registration from HKR. What a ridiculous state of affairs. How are we supposed to plan for the game if we don't know if our bosses along the M62 will let us play the lad? Let's just hope they don't and we can bring an end to this whole sorry and demeaning episode.

This.

Who cares who is playing as long as they are giving 100%.

I totally agree regarding positivity, but on the other hand, how can you be positive when you don't know who's going to be playing?

Loads of people care, almost every Fax fan I know cares. Most accept the use of DR as an unavoidable evil. I don't.

Playing devil's advocate here....until the game actually kicks off you never know for certain who's playing anyway.People drop out at last minute even in warm ups.You have to go and support whoever has the shirt on.

Really? We are in good form, playing better rugby than we have over the last 3 or so years, we have a chance of finishing in the top 4 despite there been 4 other full time teams in the league and fev spending money lie its gone out of business, we have a coach who is looking a shrewd choice by the BOD, players playing out of their skins. I guess not knowing who is playing can put a real dampener on things.

RM has said that most of this could all be avoided if we had a reserve team but it comes down to finances.

On finances, part of the quote included the comment on the lines of, that it is high on the agenda and the club was seriously looking into it "even if it meant spending slightly less on the first team."
