Are you sure it wasn’t Charlie in disguise.

Also a little hard for Walmsley to look good when he has a winger playing inside him. I think he will look a lot better once Worthington is back fit. Playing outside a quality centre can make a huge difference to a wingers game.

Hasn’t taken long for the turncoats to show their colours. End of last season game ‘haven at home people could not wait to get Walmsey in the blue and white of Halifax. Now it seems he is not worthy, you all say it takes some longer than others to settle, never mind the pre season, one game into it and you want to consign him to the bin.
Fickle ? Some of you really seem to be.

Fickleness would seem to imply a frequent changing of the mind at the slightest little thing and is used in a derogatory manner in this instance. Personally I haven’t changed my mind as I never saw walmsley play last season I can only comment on what I have seen both live and on the tv replay , walmsley I have no doubt improve as I have already stated . The term ‘ turncoat ‘ comes under the category of derogatory passive aggressive behaviour which often stains our online community usually because there is no accountability, I prefer to stick to facts rather than creating unnecessary drama .

@Listenup 94,
turncoat (n.)
1550s, from turn (v.) + coat (n.). The expression to turn one's coat "change principles or party" is recorded from 1570s.
You seem quick to jump on the defensive for someone who states positivity for the guy. I also take note you call the term passive aggressive, and derogatory, I fail to see where I have been the latter, I am only commenting on posters previous comments close season to now. If you think that is derogatory that is your view and could say that a lot of remarks made on this forum fall into the same category.
I do however stand by my post, and thank you for your rebuttle.

The use of the word turn coat is inappropriate and I’m fully aware of its meaning, voicing opinions on players or games in general doesn’t imply disloyalty but objective opinion.

So what do you call the individuals who lauded his signing and are now caring doubt on his suitability for the job ?
I fail to see where their comments were /are objective but contradictory .
Thank you for your viewpoint even though it disagrees with mine.

As far as I’m aware I’m the only one to have an opinion on walmsley specifically, I think one of the other members hasn’t picked him in his side but hasn’t stated why ( nor does he have to ) and I can only speak for myself , as fans we are allowed to have opinions either pro or against as long as it doesn’t resort to slander . As regards as his initial signing I reported it in a positive light based on the positive opinions of external sources , then saying he has to calm down and put on half a stone is constructive criticism as opposed to being fickle or a turncoat.

In other news Towns game were called off today. I know its going to kick up some arguments because what is not playable for them is likely still going to be playable for us.

I am one of the posters who was and still is happy with Lachlan's signing but i would leave him out of the side for sunday. And that is based on the 2 preseason games and the game against batley. I just think that zak as done that bit better especially bringing the ball out of yardage that is not Lachlan's strengths he is a finisher and as greg said we have not been getting quality ball to our wingers as yet. We blew 3 tries on sunday by Arundel twice not passing to salty when he was wide open close to the line and barber blew one not passing to Arundel. Hopefully given time and allowing for the side to gel Lachlan will score plenty of tries this season. Finally i would say that a far few need better games on sunday or risk being dropped expectations are high and we could do with a good start to the season.

@Terry Silver, you make very good reasons for your choice to leave LW out of the 17, rather than taking the negative you validate your reasons with clarity. Things to be worked on in training and with a full squad, as I remarked in an earlier post sometimes it takes time to gel.

It's a bit late for a good start isn't it? I do however agree that the team as a whole need to step up after last week's awful 2nd half. It is still early days though and I predict a comfortable win today to kick start our season. Up The Fax!
