| Re-signed for Fax for another season. Also modelled the new Fax shirt for next season which is Option 4- the one with the hoops on the sleeve and a full colour body.
Over 4,000 people voted with this one getting 46% of the vote. Where the heck are these supporters on a Sunday?
'Come on- where are you-let's be having you.'
Sharpy did a clean sweep on all first team awards.

| I've had a look at the photos from the Star M dinner and seeing next years kit on Adam looks good. I really like.
The hoops are there I like Halifax town crest on the main body.

| A real coup for the club to keep Tangata given the offers from elsewhere. It just shows you do not always have to offer the most money to be an attractive club for players to play for.

No news on Ben Heaton. He was there last night and did get a chorus from the players on his table of 'one more year one more year' We will have to wait and see I suppose.

| Happy that Adam is staying I think he will come back refreshed next season and back to the form he had before his injury.
We still need a half back now a prop and a centre that has some speed!

I doubt we will bring in a half back now. It sounds like we have a prop signed but wont be a big name like people are wanting but centre wise for me we have plenty and JWH should be the centre with speed and looked very good when he has played so no reason with a good off season he cant be a regular and even Barber looking good at centre should put some pressure on Tyrer and Heaton for those 2 spots.

| We need to score more points. To do that we need to unlock defences and that normally comes either from a) attrition and getting close to the opposition line and battering our way over, or b) swift interplay between the backs with genuine speed to finish, or c) some guile and skill in the half-backs.
We don't have any real battering rams for a), and although we're Ok in the backs, that's what we have this level - "Ok", which means we need some guile and skill elsewhere. If we can't get new players that are better than what we have (which we know we can't afford), then maybe the answer to to invest a little more in what we do have (with full-time or increased hours contracts maybe?). Faster and more accurate distribution at the ptb, alongside better subsequent decision making and kicking could be transformational. It was exciting to watch Bob B, Ben B and Penky, and if we can get close to matching that with the steel we've seen in our defence this year then we won't do too bad next year.

I always wondered how good we could have been under Calland if we had a defence that was as good as this one. The thing is though you rarely get a team that can both attack and defend at the same high standard, usually one or the other.

| The only thing I would say in the argument about which is better defence or attack, the public really dont get that excited about good defence and want to see a good attack and in my eyes that is one of the things why our crowds seem to be dipping despite us having a pretty good team.

Spot on, you have to score points and play with attacking flair to entertain new fans and build a atmosphere.
It reminds me of gladiator where maximus comes out, kills everyone and shouts, are you not entertained!. If we don't entertain we will never increase crowds and stagnate more!. 3 years now we have struggled scoring points.

Which is why we need to be ruthless in re-signings..I hope friday's annoucement isn't a halfback......
