It's fair to say its a massive slap in the face for coaching staff, players and volunteers.
The vast majority of players gave their time for gratis. The most upsetting aspect regarding the squad is that some players for certain have turned down options to move onto these other SL reserve grade set ups, with an option of better financial options because they believed more in the Halifax ethos. Some of these lads may now be left with proverbial pee making its way into their tents.

I wish all the lads who have given their all the very best of luck in finding a new home. It's a very fickle sport RL and not one you should plan your life around unless you have the very very luckiest of breaks and you there right time, right place.

The RFL wish is coming to fruition the so called "Elite" then the rest of us Feeder Clubs as per the NRL Format.

Sad times , we started the reserves and have basically shot ourselves in the foot. Now as already mentioned we are a feeder team to a rival. This is the same concept as in Australia. So all our best players will basically end up at Huddersfield and we will get first option on what they don't want.
Can remember the day when we beat Huddersfield convincingly how this great club has gone backwards.
I know we are been forced by RFL to adopt these rules but we as a club will get no where under this system.

Sounds like there has been coaching casualties as well because of the abondening of the reserves. That probably should save some money as well.

Thought it was reported they were staying...? although keeping 2 coaches for a team that no longer exists when money's tight defied any form of logic.

Last line of statement by BOD in Oct re Reserves
Martin Gonzalez and Steve Greenwood, our valued Reserve Coaches, will both still have major roles within the Club.
Whatever that means
