It's not just about 30 minutes on a match day, it's about what happens in training. Fax had two pre-season camps, so he should have been settled and had plenty of opportunity to show what he can do. I know a couple of Fax lads, and they reckon he was struggling with training. Apparently when a move they were working on kept breaking down he admitted to not reading his play book. Thinks its a shame, its still very early in the season. If he had knuckled down and shown he was worth selecting could have been much different. Stepping up from academy to first team, even at national league, is difficult and perhaps his expectations were too high cos he came from a glamour club. Nobody can command a place a team without putting the effort in.

Poppa have you been drinking ? I am sure considering that he has been at Leeds for 7 years, he has been programmed like a robot in every known move or play there is, I am sure he would not have an issues on that score being a pivot, who make these plays match after match, week after week. get real.

and I doubt he would be learning anything he did not know under calland...apart from maybe how to sink 2 bottles of budweiser, one in each nostril, whilst eating a jar of jellied eels !

Or he just didn't have a good attitude to training, if you don't know the facts, keep the snide jibes out. If you think Fax is the only club with a drinking culture then you are seriously naive.

Listen. If you come on another teams board and criticise one of their players, claiming to know the facts about the situation, dont start whining when you get your nose bloodied.

Have a word he's contracted to the most professional set up around
He came to you with a view of playing 1st team rugby and gaining experience.
It's obvious your club don't meet that criteria because 2 of our promising youngsters have returned from there no better than when they left,you can chelp about attitudes and the quality of them both all you want yet they still remain contracted to us so what does that say about your place sherlock???

If you think that ANY Super League club has a drink culture you are more naïve than you think you are.

I’m not so naïve to think that there aren't one or two SL player who like a drink or two but to suggest that there is a culture of drinking among top level athletes is just plain daft.

You may have had a point post 1980’s but not these days – oops sorry mate I forgot that Halifax hit 1984 and stopped so I will forgive you in your outdated thinking.

P.S. WHAM! split up but George Michael goes on to have a very successful solo career and Miami Vice style fashion never really catch on.

Champions in 85-86, Challenge Cup Winners 87, Runners up 88... yer.. we stopped in 84!

get real there is at several FACT
