Think that's an important signing for the club. Can easily play FB or HB. So Important having fit half-backs and not trying to shoe-horn in a loose forward or Hooker there. No coincidence teams like Widnes had their best season for a long time as their half-backs Gilmote and Lyon were fit all season.

Having three decent halfbacks - not seen that since 2012.

I see on Facebook some folk are saying they'd rather we signed Sammut on a long term contract. I'm not sure they realise how old he is.

Sammut could be useful as a 4th cheap option. But with his job I'm not sure he would be available all year anyway.

Anyway just start of the off-season, sure we've some signings up our sleeve.

I'm sure there are more to come since we have hardly any backs. Heard a rumour we're interested in Walmsley who left Fax for Wakey - not sure if he's signed up with Wakey for 2025.

So much for that one then.

Lilley, Meadows, Keyes and now Ackroyd years since halves looked so healthy

Wonder if the coaching recruitment will hold up further player recruitment. We need some backs.
