[quote="Brew":1e35xn7l]The club don't like this forum because they have no control over it. There was a very popular Facebook Group at one point named "Fax Matches", the person behind this was brought into the club in some capacity and it was closed down. The club have a degree of control over the "Fans Forum" on facebook I believe nowm I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it is backed by them There was a popular independent podcast, the people behind that brought into the club, now there's no podcast. It might not be representative of the club as a whole, but it represents a section of people's views.[/quote:1e35xn7l] This forum being totally independent proves the point. That very fact means people on here are free to say whatever they like as often as they like and over time you would expect the law of averages would show the positive mixed in with the negative. This isn’t the case on here, by freedom of choice the views and comments of a few are constantly critical of the club over anything and everything. Put what’s been said by some on here on any form of advertising and see how many take up offer. If no one said anything else in a short period of time there would be just 3 serial moaners, a couple of neutrals and little to no normal general rugby league chat found on other forums.

I blame it all on't Russians!

[quote="Brew":2afqxxah]The club don't like this forum because they have no control over it..[/quote:2afqxxah] That's IF they don't like it! How can they see negative posts if they don't read them? Anyway, I think the opinions on here are valid and I respect each and every one of them, all factual and not moaning. The only moaner on here is the one who constantly moans about the alleged moaners!

On a positive note I have managed to persuade some friends to go to the game Sunday telling them how well we are playing and back on the topic of the game it would be a major disappointment if we can't manage to get over the top of Barrow given how we have played in the first two competitive games.

It would be a major disappointment though if Fax didn't follow up what, to many, was a surprisingly good result at Sheffield. I'll go Fax 32v14 Barrow. Can't wait. Up The Fax!

Silly me. I thought an opinion in a subjective setting such as on a rugby forum is nothing more just an opinion. Apparently it's only those who have an inflated opinion of themselves rather than the subject who claim it to be fact. [b:39bgeikt][i:39bgeikt]One actual fact still remains though and that is the admission prices are still the same so keep on moaning and stay at home having a free cry on the club.

Excellent news if Hurrell available again this week - would be good to know what the injury situation is with McCarron and Graham.

Charlie Graham had a pot on at Sheffield, Still not sure what happened to McCarron, just went down. Looked in some pain getting off the pitch too

I see the club is advertising advance tickets at £20 and £23. WRONG! The tickets will cost approx £21.50 and £24.50. Maybe should be reported to Trading Standards ...... it's like a pub showing a pint as £3 on the board but then charging you £3.60, saying the advertised price doesn't include VAT. The club needs to sort itself out, it's a mess.

Total fees £21.56 and £24.76 respectively with the final amount clearly on display before anything is payed for, depending on where you shop many goods are initially advertised with or without vat or surcharges added, it’s not like your expecting that you wouldn’t have to pay it though. Good luck with your trading standards report, maybe send it Sunday afternoon from 3pm onwards when your sat at home

No Hurrell in Saints' squad for their visit to Cas, so more than likely he'll be with Fax. But you wouldn't think so. Absolutely nothing from the club, real tumbleweed stuff. A great opportunity to advertise Hurrell to add some bums on seats but most likely nobody will know about him except the few who bother reading social media. What a waste!

Mmm advertising a DR player to get bums on seats, especially one who Wellens and Saints are using us just to get his fitness up. Whatever next. Maybe a bum staying at home, what a waster.

Hearing hurrell won't be available for us Sunday due to him having to deliver leaflets around elland and Greetland.

When the squad is announced it will be at the usual time in the usual way.

18 named in this weeks squad and only Hurrell on dr. Whatever your views on dr i would of thought if we are going to use it now would be the time to get a few bodies in from saints with them having close to fully fit squad.

I don't agree..Eastmond is doing a fantastic job with the players he has and they should get the shirts first.DR should only be used when gaps in the squad arise as per Hurrell...

[quote="Miserybusiness":mvm2cyln]I don't agree..Eastmond is doing a fantastic job with the players he has and they should get the shirts first.DR should only be used when gaps in the squad arise as per Hurrell...[/quote:mvm2cyln] Agreed Eastmond is doing fantastic and with our own players getting the shirt first. With the squad we have there may be some benefit in seeing who could become available eg from Saints on at least short term loans instead of DR so they get used to how he wants to play and he gets a closer look at them but whatever he does I trust him to know what’s best in who to choose and the timing of doing so.

Can see it both ways, it don't look great that we can't name a 21 man squad on a regular basis but if those 18 are fit then it seems pointless bringing players in just so we can fill out the squad with no intention of playing them. And given how we have played there is no reason to bring anyone in to the 17 at this stage.

I am not pushing for us to use dr quite the opposite i just remember last year with a slightly bigger squad after the transfer deadline if a player as not played at least 5 games on dr then he can not be used on dr. With the size of our squad and being under special measures Kyle needs to keep this in mind.
