To be clear and not wanting to sit on the fence, I was referring to Bradford.

Yes it was more an ironic funny than a ha ha funny , clubs have spent loads of money now we’ve changed the goal posts and for the league below we know everyone has had there budget cut but we’re gonna throw in 18 hour round trip in there down to Cornwall just because we’ll you know we’re the rfl and we like to do stupid things every now and then .

Im just glad for once that we are able to put together a team that at least gives us hope of a chance of a return to SL. I still see Fev as the best team in the league but there is no reason with the team we have put together we can't be somewhere near and target a grand final place.

I agree , I think we’ve upgraded our halves in terms of game management and short kicking game and bolstered our pack which really did show towards the back end of the season, we now have a nice blend of youth and experience. Grix is keen on players who follow a game plan , many times last season we got into winning positions and started being silly with the ball , hopefully with the new players joining that ll be cut down to a minimum.

Spot on.

Well on a thread that was discussing incoming players to Fax for the 2021/22 campaign that mentions another new RFL cock up that could seriously affect some clubs future how is anyone to know Bradford were being referred to?

To be clear I agree you need to be clearer

.

To be fair, I'm not clear on what I'm on about half the time, so how anyone else is supposed to know is beyond me.

Welcome joe it will be the first time in a while that we have had 2 genuine in joe and greg by modern day standards anyway. I am at a loss with those messages from the game caller is Douglas coming or not does he even know.

That’s understandable, he does get some right but if he gets it wrong he back tracks and says they were in talks etc . His last tweet was that Halifax weren’t interested anymore but that they were still ‘ four big ones ‘ left to announce , it’s my understanding that jouffret and wood are definites with wood offered an apprenticeship with one of the sponsors and jouffret being sponsored by stagefreight , funnily enough the game caller was in Halifax earlier name dropping https://twitter.com/thegamecaller/statu ... 23648?s=21 So that leaves 2 but I guess it falls under the ‘ we’ll see category’

TGC needs a good dose of senokot so when he’s talking out of his booty we can hear him better.

After all he is from Bradford.

Liam Finn also incoming on the coaching front, first session tonight I believe.

Welcome Kyle wood. Just the type of hooker we need to compliment Brandon Moore and hopefully take brandons game to the next level. Is it true about Liam Finn joining the coaching staff because the club haven't said anything yet if he as. Considering the type of player he was i think he could go on to be a good coach hopefully for Halifax.

Rikki Sheriffe leaving which would suggest Finn rumours may well be right.

Makes me wonder how much influence Scott Grix has on the signings, with Liam Finn rumoured to be assistant coach and Kyle wood and joe arundal joining all three having played with Scott at Wakefield, the 2017 season Wakefield finished 5th in super league and had a good season, bodes well for us having these experienced members added to our squad .

Brandon Douglas as signed for Sheffield. Strange one this because it was said that we beat off other championship sides for is signature then a month later we have dropped our interest. I wonder what went on to change our minds and will we now bring in a other prop instead or go with what we have got. Then there is always the dreaded dr to use as well and huddersfield do look well off for props.

Yes out of all those rumoured to be coming in from the various sources Douglas was the only one that’s I am aware of not to materialise. Edit:I should have mentioned Alex Foster.

One of the sources was The Game Caller for some of them including the BD u turn.

.

According to him Fax had a “Big Ten” lined up which included BD but not Liam Whitton and with Cole Oakley being a late addition speculator / work in progress recruit not him either.



Doing the maths if the big ten was a accurate statement with 11 now signed - the above 2 then that leaves 1 more although TGC recently hinted that there could be another 2 without going into details and naming names.



The one other name linked with a season long loan by TGC was Ollie Roberts from the Giants..

What followed was OL subsequently said it was the first he had heard of it.

TGC was called out about it.

He replied he had his sources and was sticking by his comments.



Back to permanent signings the last Panthers post announcing the new coaching staff, 11 new signings, return to training etc with season tickets being next up may suggest that’s it for now.





Watch this space I suppose because just as I posted another 6pm signing is put on Facebook and then removed soon after

I thought I’d misread it or that my Facebook wasn’t working properly, but if you’ve seen it as well it must be right , I had a feeling it might be a loan signing with the way it was worded but I’ll guess we’ll see , I also noticed ollie roberts comment on the Grix and Finn partnership but I suppose that doesn’t necessarily mean anything as he is friends with Grix .

Yes so did I.

I am using an IPad and it’s hard work as it simply can’t cope with all the video adds but the post was there was quickly removed and the awards posts came on.

The other one I should have mentioned who Fax were chasing as you know was Alex Foster now signed for Newcastle.

Was he one of the big ten?

Yes this must have been the original post that we were talking about. As I mentioned some time back he’s a long time mate of Joe Keyes and have played together before. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A ... 7my087Fw_g Edit: The mystery now becomes clearer as the original post described it as a signing but now as a trial and train.

I would be happy if Alex signed permanently it would put pressure on woodburn hall and Whitton too. He is a out and out fullback too which is rare these days but we will have to wait and see how the trail goes for both parties.

Hope we do sign him because if WH was to get injured we would be light in that area. Saying that can't see us having too much money left.

The decision on AW to make it a permanent deal or not needs to be made reasonably promptly as we wouldn’t want him getting too much insider information on our structures and game plays then leaving to one of our rivals.
