Totally off base...let me guess... is the moosemilk what you guys in logistics drink when you are in the back lines in the office dreaming of someday talking and meeting someone from the Combat Arms...well today is your lucky day, show respect for your betters. You have no idea.

“The best of the best.”, have you a degree in hyperbole?
I lost a couple of uncles, one in the Atlantic and one in Burma but you losing buddies, you really are an old fart.

I truly wish what you have posted was true but it isn't...some people see poppies on Remembrance Day, but I see faces....always a very sad day for me. I ain't that old.

In a thread about the Canadian Salary cap, you're spouting more inconsequential and irrelevant rubbish......... Jesus wept man, you're not even trying to hide the fact you're a troll. Have you got money on how quickly you can get banned from here?

There’s a general theme in professional sport that money is the key to success.

It’s hard to argue with the facts. But there are occasional exceptions to that rule, and there is one living example in the Championship.

In a division featuring huge budgets, four full-time teams and clubs with instant Super League aspirations, there’s a genuine threat to clubs like Halifax that they could get left behind.

But Richard Marshall and his plucky part-timers have refused to lie down and roll out the red carpet for their heavy-spending rivals.

Halifax defeated Batley on Saturday to go third in the Championship, moving above London, Featherstone and Leigh.

For context, this is a club spending approximately £350,000 on its playing budget this year.

In comparison, Leigh boast a seven-figure budget that compares to clubs in Super League, London also spend drastically more while Featherstone, who are also part-time, spend around £550,000.

Then there’s Toronto, who are near enough at the full salary cap, and Toulouse, another full-time outfit that far outspends the West Yorkshire club.

Fax have absolutely no right to be where they are in the table. Yet with eight games left until the split, they’re in the driving seat.

Their achievements are an example to all that money isn’t everything. Under Marshall, the club has gone about fine-tuning its infrastructure and building the club around the community.

Saturday’s matchday squad consisted of six Halifax-born players. A further four players from the town have also played for the club during their Championship campaign so far.

A key reason for the influx of hometown stars has been the development of the club’s reserve grade, which has not only ensured several players haven’t been lost to the game, but also provided them with a pathway into the professional scene.

Since it’s establishment in 2016, their reserve grade has brought through Brandon Moore, Elliot Morris and Chester Butler, who are now regular features in their first-team squad. Another, Nick Rawsthorne, earned a contract at Hull FC and is now playing for Toronto. All four of them could have dropped out of the game altogether if it wasn’t for Fax.

Off the field, the club has seen its support base go above and beyond to support the club. Fax Trust has raised thousands to support the running of the reserve grade. Another group, LS28, has spent a vast amount of money and effort to attract new and old supporters, but also to fund signings.

A result of all of that is a group of players proud to play for the club, and a fanbase proud to support it. That is the envy of many clubs right now.

Several players in Fax’s squad have had the opportunity to leave for better money elsewhere, but stayed to be a part of what the club stands for. On the terraces, fans who gave up years ago are creeping back through the gates.

There will come a time when Halifax want to seriously push for Super League, and when it comes, it’s inevitable that they’ll have to invest more money in their squad. However, unlike other clubs who just pump money into their first grade, they’ll have a sound infrastructure behind them.

Should Halifax make the top four, there are few achievements that could top it.

It’s far from a certainty, and their games against the chasing pack, starting with Leigh away on Sunday, will decide their fate.

But whether they make it or not, Halifax represents a lot of things other clubs could learn from and proves money doesn’t have to be the cornerstone of success.

Very well said.
Fax and Fev have punched well above their weight this year and are both to be commended. Of the supposed big 4, London have waned at the middle part of the season as expected due to their paper-thin squad and Leigh left themselves a massive mountain to climb that I suspect will permit one more loss before becoming too high to scale this year, which leaves Fev and Fax to battle it out with London and Leigh for the right to join the French and Mancunian Canucks in the middle 8's.......and more important than the 7 games with 4 against SL sides, there comes the extra funding.......it's been a cracking season so far!

The London point is interesting. I figured that with the odd high-profile exception, their squad would be relatively cheap to run. Would some of that be due to the higher cost of living in London, and needing to offer more to players in order to attract them to the smoke?

Can't argue with Fax's performances this season though.

You really are a complete and utter gobe.

Very disrespectful...total lack of appreciation and understanding of the sacrifices many have made to allow you to be free...shameful.
Your comment speaks for itself and gives one a direct look into your character.
"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori."

So then. Does this massive new signing count on the cap?

Around 6 or 7 I would have thought based on your contributions to this forum.

You talk about me being disrespectful, I informed you that I lost two close relatives in the war, you told me I was lying yet said you lost buddies, in a later post you confirmed that you were not old.
I find it difficult to understand why you are still allowed to post, less obvious trolls have been binned.

What are you on about...I'm sorry you lost some relatives and I never said you were lying about it...quit making things up and posting falsehoods...prove I'm wrong in this....you can't now can ya?. At least I'm old enough to know better.....is there something in the water over there....should we get the old age home to check the water supply?
With your hate and bile you are the troll and the one who should be banned....go to the washroom, look in the mirror and give yourself that red card.....you are your own worst enemy.

"Run With The Pack!"

Just stop responding ffs.

You're going for Reffy when you should be telling Canoeboy to give it up. Canoeboy - Take a look at this, I'm sure you'll have some more interesting conversations about the World Wars on there - historum.com/ Now can we please get back to Rugby and just agree that Toronto are going to be embarrassed should they made the middle 8's. #Leighalloveragain
