The game and even the clubs of SL struggle to find anything other than Small town sponsors. Rugby League is not really a market big companies want. Halifax are never on TV and play in front of mainly 1500 fans-how you going to get a big sponsor to splash out money when they are not going to get much back. Some people really need to wake up and live in the real world. The game and most clubs are just about hanging on in there. Unless a club manages to get a millionaire backer willing to throw money around then it will struggle. Thats where we are. A small club struggling just like much of the rest of the game including SL.

Have we made mistakes? Yes but realistically we cant afford to be a proper FT team that can get top players. We would be going after the same SL dregs as Bradford, Sheffield and Leigh. Where has that got them? The quality within the game is for me at an all time low- look at the state of most games in SL! Tell me who the club should bring in who would be a top signing in your eyes? The club has tried DR- not really worked. Its tried Loan players who are hit and miss (Sarsfield). It has brought in 3 overseas players with varying degrees of success. The Club has looked to get some decent youngsters in (Butler, Moore. Punchard etc) and run a reserve team. Sadly the game itself cant be bothered and we are left playing the same teams every other week! Batley and Fev have had good and some may so luck this year like we did last year. But for all that Fev, Batley, London and probably Leigh will still be in our League next year.

It seems we have to bitch and moan about everything. RM is not some messiah and he has never claimed to be. But the way the daggers are out for him is poor. The players and Coaching staff need motivating and comments that motivate not pull them down all the time. The 8s are a waste and we need one win to make the Semis in a pointless comp. Why not use the youngsters and see what they can do. Yes we could and should have played better. I dont think the negative comments are needed to say that to the Coaches and players-they know that themselves. We have lost our way a bit. Improvements need to be made for sure. Lessons have been learnt. But there is no need to act like rats and jump for no real reason. Being a fan means we go through good and mainly bad- thats just the way it is. If you want to just want the good times go elsewhere.

The board are doing a good job. No doubt they could do better but we could be in a far worse situation. People forget the stuff the board members do behind the scenes that go unnoticed. Its not just putting money in but time and effort as well. If somebody thinks they can do better then step forward put your Cash, time and energy in-sure none of the current board will not be grateful. Easy to criticize others but what do you do for the club?

Scott Grix did say at the beginning of the season that he would like to Finnish his career playing along side his brother.

He's Finnish, is he ?

If the signings for next year are correct.its just a roundabout of averages players.not exactly box office.no top 4 next year.and apparently we are skint.

Just to humour you, who were you expecting us to sign?

At least we don't sell off our better players, get relegated and then question the ambitions of other clubs.
