Welcome back Big Man

Rowley to join him as assistant I hear........ great signing for you lot - always wanted him at Leigh TBH.

One thingbi hope that doesn't change is how attractive the rugby is at Halifax, look howamy times we have been on tv. Well done though Halifax rlfc on a fine signing. Let's hope Karl ties down aizue, penky, and a few others.

Not sure about Rowley after his comments when he left Fax

I don't think that'll ever change as long as we maintain and sign players like Penky, Worrincy, Black etc.

Give over your having a laugh, Lee will be coming with him surely.

Good luck to Karl next season. He will always be held in the highest regard for what he has done with our club, and I am sure he will do an equally good job with you next season.

No denying there are some big boots to fill. 3 finals in 3 years. Who knows maybe 4 yet.

be interesting to see who he keeps playing staff wise.

Would love to see him get inside Barlows head and harness that aggression into his game fully expect him to beef the pack up.

think we may see maloney back next season.

Fantastic appointment for fax, he will ship out the dead wood and and get you consistent no doubt about that.

Great appointment.

Hopefully he will bring a couple of players with him from Batley, wouldnt mind Danny Maun and a couple of other from Batley

Welcome back Karl. Please have a big clearout and bring in some fresh players especialy in the forwards and in the halves. Personally I hope Bally is kept on as he has done a good job in hard circumstances but he is also a key to maybe future academy signings via Brookbank School etc. I do think some of the backroom staff should go and we get a bit of a change throughout the club. Matt Calland did a good job and whilst I didnt agree with how he did things he did get results. Hopefully karl can add to that but keep our flambouyant play but add some steel in defence as well as mentally be tougher

Talking to Ash Lindsay last night in the pub. He told me he's on his way to Halifax along with Handforth.

Welcome, Karl.

Glad to have him back at Halifax RLFC, and here's to a great tenure as head coach.

Gonna be interesting to see who comes and goes in the playing and coaching squads. Let the rumours commence. I think we'll need to start a fresh thread for that.

I have heard this too handforth and Anthony thackery will be the half backs next year
