If I remember rightly we were winning 16 nil at h/t and finished up losing 20-16, with the Crown Flat slope playing a part! But it was in the days where even 16 point leads were rarely over-turned so it was a sickener, and I think that put the final nail in our promotion hopes coffin.

I'll be interested to hear the BOD's take on the rent arrears. It just doesn't make sense that the club has continued to make some big name signings in O'Brien, Widdop and Eden but allowed the outstanding rent to build up to an unmanageable level.

Not only do I believe there'll be a perfectly reasonable explanation, but I can also envisage a couple of new signings being paraded! I live in hope!

According to Gledhill Leon Ruan will be joining us from Rhinos.

I have also heard that, he played one game on loan at Doncaster earlier in the season

Whilst I am Halifax RLFC follower and will be until either I or the club dies, and at this rate I will back myself to outlast Fax!
Yes like a few others, Singapore, and there was at least one from Aus that used to post on here, we don’t have to watch the dismal fare that is served up week after week at the present time like you guys. It hurts just the same, and I get ridiculed by fellow expats who follow SuperLeague teams and cannot believe the depths we have fallen to, granted they admit they have money men behind them, something we have not had for some time. I look at the names on the team sheet and wonder what the hell has gone wrong, like other have said our spine would be welcome at almost every other champ club. I have not yet listened to the fans forum but the consensus was nothing really positive came out that night, the board who promised a major forward push have gone quieter than All Souls church I used to attend, and has been shut for some 30 years. I asked previously on another thread about Finn losing the dressing room, is this the case? If so as I don’t see a way out, can’t afford to sack the coach, and he won’t walk (ala Grix) and have to play players who will pick up pay checks because there seems no other players out there. Is there anything in the rules to field 17 amateur guys in Halifax colours?, could hardly be worse.
Unfortunately I do not have the answer, that is what the board are supposed to do. Not looking forward to watching the York game on panthers TV, but I will just like you guys glutton for punishment. I just wish someone would tell the truth and lay it all out then a way forward might be seen.

Also being linked with Frenchman Matthieu Pons, outside back according to examiner live and Matt Shaw. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... l-29221617

Interesting that both Leon ruan and Corey Johnson have been named in leeds 21 man squad.

Mick Gledhill was wrong? Who'd have thought that could happen

I remember Luke Hooley being included in the Leeds squad for a game last season and thinking "thank god" cos he was being loaned out to Batley. But then he was also named in the Batley squad after not being in the Leeds team on that Friday. I think it was the game when Batley thrashed us 42 nil with Hooley scoring a hat trick. Anyway, the morale of that story is that players can sometimes be in both squads.

What a mess!

We now have a DR with Cornwall.

That`s the squads end of season holiday sorted.
They can check out where to stay for next seasons game down there.

Zac McComb named in the Championship team of the month and not many of us would have him starting in the second row but nevertheless well done Zac as there’s some decent players in that position that you’ve got past.

Just shows the difference between the stats sheet ( which many coaches go on these days ) and what seems to be happening live to the eyes on game day.

Still not totally convinced but maybe I’m wrong and if he fills out and bulks up a bit with his engine he could become another Manno machine.

Leigh are releasing a prop to make way for a new signing, and Matt Shaw says he could be heading to the championship with Bradford and a number of others interested. Get in there Fax like a rat up a drain pipe.

I can remember plenty on this forum taking the p**s out of Bradford for having Leeds loanees in the team at the Shay. Kettle and pot anyone!
