| The criticism aimed at Harrison is fair and justified and based over nearly 3 years in the job. I'd hoped that when Karl came back to the club he would bring to it stability, discipline, structure and be almost like father to the players for whom they would run through a brick wall for him.
How wrong could I be, the connection with the fans just hasn't happened and from the terraces it seems the players have no connection either apart from a few close lieutenants. Results, tactics, conditioning, judgement on players and improving players, I can't think of one positive. But the cardinal sin he continues to make is slagging the players off in the press, particularly the backs.
If it wasn't for the fact that Karl had such a great career at the club the boos would have been ringing out a long time ago, fans are now just deciding to go the coast or garden centre instead.
I'd loved to be proved wrong, but there's no greenshoots folks....

Totally agree - it is not like anyone wants to be negative about Harrison, most people would have loved for him to done well. But he hasn't and the damage he is doing to the club and the players is difficult for most people to watch

| All the above has been said many times by the same people.
No doubt KH is responsible and accountable for not delivering the goods and the day of reckoning will come along, it always does.
In the meantime though it is good to remember he is not Halifax RL and for anyone to say I will stop supporting Fax because of one man is in my humble opinion showing lack of commitment to the club when things go wrong and is just as damaging in it's own way.
Likewise with the BOD, they hardly get a mention in a positive light and yet they have and continue to give their all to the club but it's never good enough.
Halifax RL is like having a white piece of paper with a black spot in the middle and that's all that can be seen or spoken about, none of the white around it.
Never mind anyone else, which bit are we a part of.
The bigger white area or the black spot?

| It's clear KH is avery strong character within our current set up and the BOD are happy for that to continue. What I have wondered is if we have two camps in the actual squad from his past Batley days and the current crop he has brought in? He does seem to keep picking his favourites that has my brow furrowed at times? At Leigh I seem to remember him dropping Fieldhouse and Worrincy-our two leading try scorers at the time- and the team having enough possesion and territory to win 3 games and then wondering why we couldn't score! Heaton on the wing this season to keep him in the three quarterline and of course the 'next Kevin Sinfield in Calum Casey' weekly sub bench selection. He needs some help in my opinion on backs play /game management and backs selection which I just don't think he is getting or more likely thinks he doesn't need?

| I see Simon Brown scored twice for Batley today? So much for being back in contention.... Just wish the club would communicate properly. Just shows the clap trap spouted.

I'm sure everyone has the club at heart, we are all different and have different ways of expressing things and I can understand the disappointment and frustration, I know I feel it but I'm not going to get too down about it like I used to do, it's just not worth it and changes nothing anyway.
It could get worse before it gets better after todays results if we lose at Leigh on Wednesday and come away with nothing the gap will be 7 points on Fev and 4 on Doncaster.
The pressure is on now that's for sure and that certainly includes the man at the helm.

It was Alex Brown the winger back at Batley from Leigh who scored twice today, Simon Brown did not feature at all for them yet the club are not communicating and are spouting clap trap.

My apologies then.... On flash scores has Simon Brown down as scoring. Happy to hold my hands up when wrong. Thought here we go again regarding communication. Let's be honest it wouldn't have been unexpected if it was true the way communication has been recently.
