Is new coach. Three year deal

New coach of fax. I think this could be a very good choice. He has been on coaching staff at Warrington for 6 years and will have learned a lot of good things. Glad it's not one of the oldies like kear or nobby. Some one young with fresh ideas.

Time will tell, but I have a good feeling about this.

Welcome Richard. Imppressed in interviews lets hope he impresses in the Job. Sadly he will inherit a Team mostly from karls Players rather than being able to bring in many of his own choices. I hope us fans give him some time to change things and dont expect miracles or demand him sacked if we lose a game or two! Next year will be tough enough and we Need to start backing him rather than going against him. Is he the new saviour that will get us in to SL? No probably and People Need to realise that we are far away from that and it will take time to get even Close to that if at all.

Welcome to Fax Richard.

Welcome Richard!! Warrington are one of my favourite Super League sides and are (nearly) always entertaining to watch (apart from when they play like they did against Widnes in the 1st 'alf last week). I hope he can bring back some of that entertaining and skillful play to the Shay and get this team firing on all cylinders again. I see in the Courier Sir Ian Croad mentions we have some players budget remaining so I hope Richard does the right thing and signs Ben Westwood and Michael Monaghan. Perhaps persuade Tony Smith to allow Ratchford to join us on a 7 season long loan? That guy is class!

welcome back.

welcome to the Club. Good to see the board have appointed a young coach. On the above 'Sadly he will inherit a Team mostly from karls Players' At the start of season we had a good squad on paper and should have performed better than we did and I think we agree it was down to the coaching and tactics not necessarily the ability of the players. Look how good the players were before coming to Fax and how they play after leaving us!

Anyway new era and looking forward to next season. Best go buy my season ticket....Oh I already have !

I think he will be a very good appointment. He comes across as a very articulate, intelligent and knowledgeable person. I think he will fit in well at the Shay. See youtube interview from a couple of years ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=laDydQLxbbk

I agree, we looked to have a decent squad last season, and we did finish 3rd so hopefully a new coach and better gameplan and style of play we will do OK.

Good luck Richard, I hope you achieve your potential at Fax.

Being the only person in the world without Sky I can not comment on the merits of Richard.
All I can say is that we should all respect the boards decision and get behind the new coach as well as we did when Karl was appointed.
Hopefully this time it will turn out better.
Looking forward to next season (mind you I always do)

Well would have been very easy for the board to appoint a Kear or a Noble but they have gone for a young fairly unknown coach in Richard Marshall which is brave as next year is a massive season.Very exciting really as we had a young coach in Matt Calland and we played some great stuff when he was in charge bit dodgy defensively but always confident of scoring some great tries.Lets all get behind the club now and fingers crossed could be a few good years ahead !! Good luck then Richard Marshall and COME ON THE FAX !!!

Well said,i agree.

After the unrest of the past season or so, it is nice to hear the positive comments from the paying public. We are all diehard supporters, when we criticise the club it is generally through frustration. It is nice to see long term supporter Chris Smith talking positively about the future. We've been down on our collective knees, but like the saying goes, 'it's not getting knocked down, it's staying down." Well the sleeping giant of Halifax RLFC has finally woke up to the future.
The Future's Bright it's Blue and White.

Great choice, maybe a few bums on seats signings to help. Professional from top to bottom. Well done on this appointment, it would have been my choice, new, fresh, feel a bit better now already.

Having given it a bit more thought it looks a very good appointment.

Richards CV is very impressive as is the way he comes across, a young coach but with a lot of experience at the highest levels both at club and national level, also across the full range from youth through to senior level which will give us some structure across the club.

The BOD have promised to put forth every effort to back him on the playing front and want him to play an exciting attacking style of game.

Very well done to all those involved, the feel good factor is back and I already can't wait for what is to come.

Good to see so many positive posts for a change. Quite simply we have appointed someone whose previous role was first team coach at one of Super League's top clubs and from the limited number of times I've seen Warrington this season it's made better viewing than what I've been watching for most of the summer.

Really pleased they are giving a young English coach a chance who has served an apprenticeship at Warrington, mainly under Tony Smith.
Rather have Richard than picking one off the merry go round of usual suspects, also remember him well from when he played at Fax
Good appointment IMO

I am really pleased and relieved by this, I had a horrible feeling we were going to get one of the old school - Kear or Noble. The appointment of Richard Marshall a young and forward thinking coach will hopefully bring back the spark to Fax. These days with the general high standard of fitness and conditioning training, it is the psychological fitness of the players and game plans that give teams the edge. It is this edge that we have missed all season and that is what I hope Marshall will bring.We have some cracking players, but just haven't seen anything like the performances we should have or any cohesion in the squad.I can't wait to see what some of these lads can do with decent coaching and a lot more confidence. Roll on 2015 !

Yep, that pretty much sums it up, well done to the board for making a bold decision and giving him the remit of producing entertaining rugby.

Next season starts now!

Yep, i'm ok with this choice, someone with their own ambitions and keen to improve themselves and the players, if he's good enough for The Wire he's good enough for us.
Nothing ventured nothing gained. this is a positive risk.
All coaches have to be given their first chance at being number one (Including Chris Anderson and Wayne Bennett) , and all the signs are there that we fit.
Roll on next season.

Top bloke Richard, hope he goes well for you and himself

Could you explain that to Mapleyther? He thinks that Marshall is "all we can afford" which I find quite offensive.

I had plenty of dealings with Marshy when he worked for the community dept at Leigh

Who's Mapleyther?
Does Charlie know?
Come on Charlie old chum we haven't heard from you for a while, don't let the killjoys get to you.
What is your opinion on this latest news?
