Asked around but no ones saying anything, was it meant to be SG's and he changed his mind at the last minute?'" Dodged a bullet there then....

Didn’t Callys 2 year extension get announced just before the Grix departure announcement?

Yes Cally's first then something like, "like another, check our social media sites from 5pm.
5 pm came and went and the post was removed then after Mick Gledarse's revelation the club were forced into the SG announcement a couple of hours later.

| If SG had hung on another week he might just have got himself the top job over in Lancashire!

I can't imagine it was Grix's renewal as I heard he did a Gwaze and stalled on the contract offered which then got withdrawn probably in all likelyhood after a poor run of results. I imagine at that point he saw the writing was on the wall and started looking for a way out. I still think its worked out well for everyone, Grix gets a shot in SL and Halifax are not stuck with a coach on a 3 year deal with results not matching what the board were expecting.

If the board withdrew the offer why did Richard durgan post he was gutted he was leaving on his own social media page .

The truth is more like he has had a few offers (from SL), our board wanted him to stay and offered terms to retain him. He has chosen a route which is better for someone who wants longer term career in coaching.

Probably got fed up of coming out of his front door to walk his dogs up southowram to see gfb waiting for him asking when he was leaving.

Maybe it wasn't just his decision? Wouldn't be the first time that a board member lost a vote and won't be the last. Like the people on social media stating he hasn't lost the dressing room because they spoke to X player who said they are all really happy, we have both been around rugby long enough to know what the fans are told can be totally different to what is going on in the dressing room.

This was the statement released by Halifax panthers officials
The club has a long-term vision both on and off the field and that was demonstrated by the fact Grix was recently offered a long-term deal to stay at the club. But the lure of a new challenge will see him leave for pastures new next year.
Director of Rugby Richard Durgan, said: “Simon has informed the board he’s going to be taking up a new opportunity at the end of the season. From a personal point of view, I’m gutted. We have a really good working relationship and we’ve been together through some challenging times on and off the pitch. We’ve stuck together in the trenches and I’m sad to be losing him personally, but at the same time, I’m excited for him that opportunities have emerged, which is thoroughly deserved.”
“Thankfully, Simon’s decision to inform us at this stage gives us time. We don’t feel under any massive time pressure which we would have been if it was later in the season when a final decision was made, but equally, we won’t be hanging around. We’ve been well on with recruitment and got a lot of our business done early but we’re not full yet in terms of our playing squad, so there are some gaps to be filled. Of course, letting Simon’s successor have some input in those decisions would be preferable.”

Yeah its a nice statement. They also said that further investment would be made so we can increase our playing budget and then a few months later made out that we were struggling. You will have to excuse me for not having complete faith in everything that comes out of the club just yet.
