Aaaaaaaaaaaaand back on topic........ I don't think Wrench or Larder will be in the first 17, but the best teams had fantastic cover for injuries. Take last year, when we lost James to injury, we didn't have sufficient cover. We know the jobs Larder and Wrench can do and they can do it successfully as first choice or back up.

Larder is trying or was trying to get a testimonial from the RFL as this is his 15th year as a pro. Hope he get's it as people like Dave are the unsung heroes of the game.

Two good lads and very commited to Fax, getting on a bit I must admit so surprised but good Professionals and Dave is a terrific ambassador for the club, a future RL coach without doubt!

Speaking of testimonials, has Haley's been ratified or does it all have to go through the RFL? And who decides who we play?

It is entirely up to the player to select opposition.
The league have to approve that choice but it's normally a rubber stamping.
Instead of a team perhaps he should pick a team of lads with Halifax connections who play in Super League?
And a few special guests like Gibbo?
You dont make much money from the game.
The brass is in the dinners, the golf day etc.
