Just seen that Last of the Summer Wine cast member Graham Holroyd has rejoined Fax!!

hahahahahahahahahahaha










hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Can you imagine Menzie Yere running at him! Or actually just anyone running at him.

I have a link as to the effectiveness of these old men.

1 game for Holroyd and 1 defeat. Very effective.

Nearly had a minor stroke,Dont do that my initial thought was surely we havnt signed Holroyd,How old is he?,He must be mid 40's



That bloke is probably a grandad!!!!

Apparently he's 34. Or that might be his son's age.

Halifax must be either very desperate or someones been at the thinners again.

The final league table will of course render this thread pointless.

Up the dad's army !!

You certainly aim high if your only ambition is to finish above us.

Top six will do nicely thank you. A title challenge in 2012 is the target. I doubt Holroyd will be around to see that of course.

It seems i have more respect for your team than you do. I have always regarded Sheffield as a tough competitive team. A good yardstick to measure my own club by.

As for your problem with Holroyd, we are the B&Q of the Rugby League world

I have immense respect for my team, im merely taking into account that not ten years ago we had no club whatsoever and to be in the top six on NL1 is a tribute to the hard work put in by all. Im just a realist and think a title push is beyond us for a couple of years.

To be honest our progress hit home when we won at your place last year, no-one (not even us) saw that coming.

Back to Bald-Royd, i dont see why you are spending money (which i doubt you have a lot of) on a player who is at the end of his career and i doubt is better than your current half backs.?

We don't - that's the problem.

I'm not actually sure what's going on behind the scenes lately. Holroyd asked Fax to take him back. I doubt whether he'll get much game time to be honest.

I always see a win for Sheffield against us. Like Barrow and Whitehaven, you seem to be our bogey team. I'm surprised at the inconsistency you've shown this season though, esp when you started off so strong.

It has been a strange one, i thought a top three place was gettable but Leigh (who shouldnt be in this division) and Fev have upped their games a lot and we fell away come the league season. I think we burned out a bit after the NRC and it took a while to recover. Losing Woodcock, Thackeray, and Rowe to injury early on didnt help. Top six now this season is a must.

He's so old his first halfback partner was Moses

Not a bad performance from "The Old Man"

He stood central to pass, then went out on the wing to defend and got skinned three times. Didn't set the world alight mate.

You gotta look after him cos he's so old

Rumour has it he didn't stay for the post match meal because he wanted to get home for an early night to make sure he was up to beat the queue at the post office in the morning to collect his pension.

Nah Ive heard it was for the meals on wheels delivery.

Well, if he'd have been in the queue for tickets today at the amateur hour office he'd have died.

By the way, he was still running his eighty year old legs off at the end today - unlike the huffing puffing Menzies Yere who was running like a carthorse by the 60th !! Great impact player but he looked way of being an eighty minute player today.

He had used most of his energy in that 2nd half trying to get out of Patterson's back pocket, which is where he spent the entire 2nd half.

Tell me you wouldn't swap baldy Holroyd for Menzie.

Absolutely not - just making an observation on today's match.
