Cant see what all the fuss is about. As stated by Matt, Holly is a short term fix for the rest of the season. If people look at the positives young Bowman could learn a few things from him to help develop his kicking game which right now he clearly doesnt have. Lets judge the decision to recruit him at the end of the season. For me he is a good signing. I would rather he was with us than be picked up by the likes of Widnes until the end of the season.

Absolutely agree...good signin in my humble opinion!! We def missed him last season!!

dont see what all the fuss is about hes a good younger replacement for gene who wont play again.
gene thought he was a ball handler and holroyd is

Gene will want a pay off if leaves.Younger at 34?

We could do with a bit of yoof that's for sure. Mind you, we're not languishing in sixth spot like Widnes are at the mo. Shocking performances from the Super League darlings. Mind you - you've got to the Chav Final again so that's something. Has Toa finally hung up his catheter?

not suggesting he leaves on our terms just he wont play again

I don't think it's a bad move. We all know he has an exceptional kicking game - an area where we have been steady at best this season. He's a great organiser and a talker as well . My only concern is if he plays at 6 , either black or Branigan might not play unless calland is considering moving one of them to the forwards - perhaps branigan might be moved to 13.

Branigan at 13 was the conclusion I'd got to.

Top bit of damage control that Rich.

Holroyd is so old he called once the Titanic a "newfangled metal boat" and refused to join the young whippersnappers on it.

Still lovin' that league table though Dalt? When does SOC start his SL recruitment drive? D'ya reckon he'll promote from within the ranks of the yoof?













Neither do I

Holroyd is still old he complains whenever The Flintstones comes on because "it wasn't really like that".

I hear Toa's been collecting disability benefits for the last two years. A means tested investigation cleared him of any wrongdoing and all claims were legitimate. They've even upped his weekly allowance out of sheer sympathy for his long plight.

Holroyd is so old when he goes to the pictures he still calls it a cinematograph and always tries to pay in farthings.

Got any silverware rich? nah thought not, sixth we may be but the trophy cabinet is bursting lad.

Holroyd is a lazy old man, cant tackle and hasnt got the enthusuiasm anymore, Stanley Beans on his way to the retirment home and Makali A who?

Your wagon has no wheels.

Unlike yours, whos wagon has borrowed wheels.

Mate i would rather borrow wheels than have none, your feet must be killing.

Yours keep breaking dont they? Must be down to the coach - anyone called for his head this week?

Rugby league on sky, got to dash, will argue later................

Not sure what to think of the signing to be honest. It's certainly been a weird season so far. Lots and lots to happen between now and October though. Things haven't gone smoothly at all but this is Halifax RLFC - it's what we do best. We've still got an exciting team to watch - frustrating sometimes - breathtaking at others. I'm still happy.

Dont panic , dont panic Mr Mannering

Wouldnt your time be better spent trying to help fix that bubble thats burst in Leigh?

Wow, a Leigh vs Halifax barny. So this is what it would be like if Leichtenstein went to war with San Marino.

Nope not a "barny" just comments on a message board.

says Mr Faroe Islands !!!
