Yes, those three would all be in contention for a place, they're all good players. Think you could argue either way whether they would get in the 17 at Toulouse or Fev.

I mentioned the big three, not the big one, it's got nothing to do with being immodest or graceless. My point was very clear that I don't think Halifax have had the same resources to build their squad. Do you think I am wrong?

And to be fair to T, F and Y behind the money and squads there has been a massive amount of work going on to get the cash in and in many other areas to get them where they are.

No freebies just hard work from the top down as with a lot of other clubs which for me means a great comp with some cracking games for us all to enjoy all throughout the year.

I’m sure it will be the best for a long time.

Nothing to do specifically with your Big 3 comment, more to do with the way Fev fans have been over the last 10 years or so whenever you get a little success. Bit like the year you had champions emblazed on your kit before you'd won the grand final (which you lost lol)

out of interest what did you make of james harrison ,brad day, dane chisholm before they signed for fev they have all become very good players for you but at there previous clubs they didnt show that kind of form i wouldnt of wanted any of them at fax but now would be more than happy with all 3

Soooo.... it was a couple of Fans which had Champions printed on the shirts, thanks for letting us know

Batley fans will tell you that Day and Harrison were good players at the Mount and they are right, they both won player of the season awards the last year they were there I think. I think they have both progressed since joining Fev but it's not like they have improved out of nowhere.

Chisholm just wasn't at the right place at Bradford, Kear is a good coach but they are like chalk and cheese. He seems much happier at Fev, he's a bit inconsistent like all half backs at this level but he does loads of good things for us.

I can't even remember this and presumably you're talking about 10 years ago so rather than clinging to this maybe it's time to let it go?

having watched both day and harrison at batley i dont think either were any where near as good as they are now the reason i ask is you say halifax cant attract the same caliber of players as featherstone i see these 3 players as some of your best players but dont you think we could attract a player like chisholm who was on is outers at bradford or the other 2 day and harrison who where playing for a struggling batley side if i remember correctly halifax finished in the top 4 when you signed day and harrison so we would have been able to afford them

Most players go where the most brass is.

Very true Pete , my prediction though is Fev, Toulouse , York , and London , not very imaginative , I also think we will struggle , I will be happy to stay up .Charlie knows .

...................NOWT! Welcome back Mr Caroli!

Yes I did! They were both outstanding players and I am delighted to see them continue to progress
Harrison was rejected by Bradford and we took him on and he really began to develop. Day is one of the Championship's most underrated players and is a bit of a beast!
