Two interesting bits from the T&A today were that Jimmy will reveal these personal reasons in the coming days (maybe something in the matchday paper?) and that he will be at Odsal on Sunday handing over the reigns to Diskin. Could be odd.

As an aside, it's come up a couple of times in this thread and others - I can't be the only one disappointed with the potential prospect of Leon coming back. He was never a player to particularly dig us out of a hole when we were on top and he often goes missing when things go against him (even more so in recent years at Catalans and Hull). I've no doubt he'd rip up some Championship sides if we were on a roll, but I've serious doubts he can dig and in and do a shift if we're on the back foot to SL sides in the 8s.

Morrison is quoted in T&A as saying he has studied Bulls videos closely prior to playing them and the strengths and weaknesses are there to be seen but can soon be fixed. Well come on then.

If I were Morro...............I'd think very carefully before coming here, after all, the expectations are somewhat higher and the ultimate target is [imo] basically unachievable as things stand. The perfect poisoned chalice, in fact.

I see people are taking no notice of your post, you got a source?

We've currently no half back and there aren't any available. How can we be disappointed if we get someone with the experience of Leon. We need an older head in the middle of the park. Yes i would prefer someone like Burns, but lets be honest, we're nearly in May and this mysterious superstar HB still hasn't arrived. They aren't any available and even if they were, we're behind everyone else in trying to get them to come here.

Getting someone with Leon's experience, who still has the ability to rip LOWER SL teams to pieces. Also he is a Bradford lad and would be giving his all to get us back up.

If not Leon, which HB would you realistically want us to get? Burns is my number 1 but i can't see that happening. He'll be on a big contract and other SL teams would be after him.

The other 2 mentioned, Declan Patton is out injured i think and while he might have quality, SL still very young and inexperienced. With Sandow out for a couple of Months, would Warrington let him come with NO RECALL? Thomas Bosc is now playing regularly for Catalans.

Agreed. It is quite a peculiar comment IMO. OK so his best days are behind him but he would be playing at a lower level than he has been.

As for "Redbull"? Another wannabe on the wind-up or do they actually have inside knowledge. Let's see if he/she has the courage to tell us more.

However, Redbull does seem a worryingly similar username to a previously banned poisoned dwarf who has her head up Duffy's bottom, Reading Bullette.

You misunderstand my comment - I have no doubt about Leon's ability - I have a lot of doubts about how he applies that ability, especially when the chips are down he has an knack of going missing. He's an old head, and I agree we are missing a ton of those, I just don't think the guy is a leader - his best days are behind him sure, but that wasn't the point I was making, I actually said this was something I felt the first time he played for us as well - although we were on top far more often then.

I'm aware beggars cannot be choosers, but just because there doesn't appear to be a better alternative, doesn't make the remaining solution perfect. Happy to eat my words if he gets us promoted, but I don't think he offers the solutions we need in the halves.

I'd agree with that.

Leon would certainly do a job for us!!

Can not see Marshall taking it

Richard Marshall is an interesting one.

Every time I've heard him speak he comes across as very articulate, knowledgeable and observant. Would he take the view that he can only take a part-time team so far, and jump ship to come to the Bulls?

I'm sure Marshall is destined for bigger jobs than Halifax. Whether we fit into that category is debatable. Perhaps he'll stick around and wait for a SL offer to come. But how long would he have to wait?

I'd definitely take Marshall over Morrison though - he just seems to have a bit more about him.

Think Marshall is happy at Halifax and they do seem to be building there and think he wants to be part of it. Although reading Fax's forum, sometimes his selections frustrate the fans at times but think he is a good young coach with a big future. Problem is we need someone for the here and now.

Full time next season IF make the top 4

Because I have been singing songs from Annie all morning I am now completely against Morrison being appointed.

Again. You shall see.

Another Gledhill account! (only joking Mick! we go way back im sure you know its a joke pal)
