The Northern Rail Cup is used by coaches of large squads to try and find the best combination of players before the league season starts. For Fax, games against Hunslet and Barrow, Blackpool and Lougbrough Uni were these games to be used for rotation, especially at half back where we have many options.

Players have to accept changes have to be made with such a competitive squad and if Moore can't handle being told he won't play one week in which the opposition (Barrow in this case) were hell bent on taking our half-back's heads off then he is better out than in. Coupled with reports he couldn't handle discipline then he does need to learn his craft in the reserve grade, as talented a player he obviously is.

He's on loan from one of the strictest clubs around and you come up with that!

Quite, "discipline" is not a word I have heard associated with Callands tenure at Fax...

Same here in fact i'm sure a poster on here had very good info on his "regime" at fax

Maybe he could not keep up with the drinking sessions !!

Ouch!

Wondered how long that would take to surface.

Correctomundo!

It's not just about 30 minutes on a match day, it's about what happens in training. Fax had two pre-season camps, so he should have been settled and had plenty of opportunity to show what he can do. I know a couple of Fax lads, and they reckon he was struggling with training. Apparently when a move they were working on kept breaking down he admitted to not reading his play book. Thinks its a shame, its still very early in the season. If he had knuckled down and shown he was worth selecting could have been much different. Stepping up from academy to first team, even at national league, is difficult and perhaps his expectations were too high cos he came from a glamour club. Nobody can command a place a team without putting the effort in.

Poppa have you been drinking ? I am sure considering that he has been at Leeds for 7 years, he has been programmed like a robot in every known move or play there is, I am sure he would not have an issues on that score being a pivot, who make these plays match after match, week after week. get real.

and I doubt he would be learning anything he did not know under calland...apart from maybe how to sink 2 bottles of budweiser, one in each nostril, whilst eating a jar of jellied eels !

Or he just didn't have a good attitude to training, if you don't know the facts, keep the snide jibes out. If you think Fax is the only club with a drinking culture then you are seriously naive.

Listen. If you come on another teams board and criticise one of their players, claiming to know the facts about the situation, dont start whining when you get your nose bloodied.

Have a word he's contracted to the most professional set up around


He came to you with a view of playing 1st team rugby and gaining experience.
It's obvious your club don't meet that criteria because 2 of our promising youngsters have returned from there no better than when they left,you can chelp about attitudes and the quality of them both all you want yet they still remain contracted to us so what does that say about your place sherlock???

Maybe he could do a good job at the Dons--i believe our club meets the criteria.

It does mate but we don't want you to keep this one

If you think that ANY Super League club has a drink culture you are more naïve than you think you are.

I’m not so naïve to think that there aren't one or two SL player who like a drink or two but to suggest that there is a culture of drinking among top level athletes is just plain daft.

You may have had a point post 1980’s but not these days – oops sorry mate I forgot that Halifax hit 1984 and stopped so I will forgive you in your outdated thinking.

P.S. WHAM! split up but George Michael goes on to have a very successful solo career and Miami Vice style fashion never really catch on.

Champions in 85-86, Challenge Cup Winners 87, Runners up 88... yer.. we stopped in 84!

get real there is at several FACT

Name them then know all!!!

Any chance of having that in English?

Salford
Wakefield
St Helens
Wigan
Warrington

So you typing FACT at the end of a post then posting a list of super-league clubs with a rasberry blowing emoticon at the end of it make it true???

No I just happen to know its true, it wasn't a list of all SL clubs merely a list of those where I know there is a drinking culture present.

We pride ourselves on our drinking culture...

Its a well known internet FACT that if you post FACT at the end of anything you type then it instantly becomes FACT which no-one can deny. FACT.
