Can't help thinking that informing players (some of whom have served the club well for the last three to four seasons) that their services would no longer be required by way of a face-to-face meeting - as opposed to a letter posted through their doors, would have been a classier way of dealing with affairs.

Where does it say that they were notified by letter? The "document" referred to is more than likely a press release of the non-retained players.

Thank you all for your efforts at Fax and all the best for the fiture.

If thats what has happened, at least it wasn't before the end of the season, unlike at Hull

Paul Smith has tweeted that he only found out via today's press.
Thanks for your efforts Paul, had a good second half of this season and certainly played your part in the Fax improvement.

Just seen the tweet, that's really bad and embarrassing on the clubs part!

Same situation with Dave Larder as well!

Tis a bit harsh, im all for a clear out and Rhino making his mark but thats a bit off.

hope he is kept on in that role.

Dont mean to be harsh but theres quite a bit of dead wood from last season that has gone. Looks like KH is sticking to his word that he is only wanting players willing to put it in week in week out. To be fair though nearly half of those players either shouldnt have been signed or re-signed last season.

Well I do understand what KH is trying to do and we cant get sentimental. He has watched us this season and has ideas for us. Anthony Bowman for example is going to be the half back prodigy and Danny Jones is not needed.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Paul Smith, Dave Larder and Bob Beswick - been a pleasure.

Also Ratu was released ages ago wasnt he?

I think this is right, sorry to see Cherryholme go as he tried hard and was a good clubman but he was not hard hitting enough.
Beswick only did it when HE wanted to, not consistent enough for me.

well we always knew some would have to go. with the quality of player we have brought in, Penky is better than Beswick, wlthough sorry to see Bob go,

In today's courier, Fieldhouse has an offer, Bannister being talked to this week, Gannon in discussions as a bit part player with other role possible and Frank not playing but still in community role.

KH is not messing about, how long have you lot known he was going to be your next coach?

Never got a sniff of it before it happened, are you lot happy it has, seems like a new broom & perhaps building for the next franchise.

Can't see anyone else other than you guys or maybe Leigh being considered for it.

Anyone know what happened to G Holroyd??

Holly was working with the u23s - dunno if this is going to be the same for 2012.
