Totally disagree with Vikingman, I'm gutted Beswick left. He's definately capable of playing at SL level. He didn't have the greatest of years last season, but is still top quality in the Championship.

I agree with you and posted at the time that he was a loss.

Frustrating when he tries to do too much (like the famous kicking game) but a very classy player at this level.

There seem to be some very strange people on here if they seriously believed Patto for all his endeavour was a better option at LF for this year.

Tom Hemingway from "GIANTS"

As I posted on TIW I dont think he is going to make or break your year for you.

Hasn't this loan been rumoured previously ?

He does seem to be made of the same type of biscuits as the 2003 Ryan McDonald.

I think BB had such a poor 2008 by his own very high standards that he needed to move on. He'd been carrying us along with Smithy and I think the pressure got to him, and I'm not convinced he was fully fit.

That said, I didn't think he was the stand-out player for Fax against us.

He didn't impress in the early part of the season but he has got better with every game.

Anybody who thinks Patterson is a better player than BB is seriously deluded.

He had a poor season last year but is a major loss from our squad without a shadow of a doubt.

Another poor descision in Ste Mc recruitment policy, along with Noone.

Forgive me - what does this mean? I've heard the expression before but have been too afraid to ask for fear of looking like a thicky. Now i don't care. What does it mean?

Hemmingway seems to be very injury prone.

Shoulder with him I think so the made of biscuits reference....he is easily broken.

Thanks -

I understand now. I thought it might have something to do with that. While i'm here - what does "pan face" mean? Andy Farrell used to get called it a lot. Any ideas?

A flat face like the back of a frying pan.

Does that not make me a proper rugby fan then?

We as rugby fans would also go to said clubs site to view competitor's signings as opposed to spamming everyone else's board.....
