I feel very positive about this news, mainly due to reaction by the posters on here. He is obviously a fans favourite who have given his all to your club. I just hope he can replicate that form in the SL with us now. Does anyone know if he was still under contract for next year? If he was, we may have a pre season friendly to look forward to, now that would be good!!

Shad has been fantastic for us since the day he signed, He will be a great signing for you. As far as i know, Shad is out of contract at the end of this season.

Wish Shad all the best.

a massive thanku to shad, he has been a great player for Halifax, a soild performer and a try scoreing machine

it will be intersting to see how he goes on full time training.

one more last belter next sunday with a winning finish and a hat trick!

thanks for the time spent at halifax

Shad has been our most consistent player for years, he reads the game brilliantly, this and his rugby brain are his strong suit, hes very professional, defends well, backs up better than most in the game, if he was blessed with an extra yard of pace, IMO he would have made the grade at an NRL club and been a big name already. I rate him that highly as an intelligent player, He goes with our blessing i hope and it would be nice if one day he returned to us.
Good luck Shad.
p.s you owe me a kebab and several kronenbergs from Toulouse town centre and the Airport take care fella and sign off in style with a medal for your efforts in the England.
ONE SHAD ROYSTON!
THERES ONLY ONE SHAD ROYSTON!

Is there only me thinking could Bulls not wait 1 whole week until after the final to announce them signing him?

yep agree UC, however its a great motivator for Shad and the lads to win next sunday

Larder, Wrenchy, Shad and Holly potentially all on their final game for fax, at least it gives us a chance to say a fans farewell next sunday

Good luck shad hopefully back fax next year as a dual registered if he ain't getting game time at the bulls

I agree that its better this way, once the rumours started, they needed to stop so everyone could concentrate on Sunday, and im sure we would all love the chance to chant Shads name as he picks up MOM and a winning try. Fairytale i know, but quite possible too.

glad he is getting chance at SL.
also glad that we saw him at his best for fax and hope he signs off with another hatrick.
good luck shad.
is he a contender for the hall of fame?

www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... dford.html think as does not count on overseas quota a big plus for bulls.

Possibly in the future, but this time I think it could be Rhino and Bentos

Will be glad to see the back of him from an opposition point of view, Fax best player imo and he seems a decent bloke too.
