:lol: Hes defo not going to Widnes. All seems to fit though Ellis leaving Barrow. We have like what, 17 hookers, they need a hooker and we need to strengthen in other areas. Maybe thats one of the departures that was mentioned in the press. If the signings come off though we will be more than happy. Our pack is going to rip up the division next season.

Famous last words.......almost Matt Calland like.

Yep you can put it in your Sig. Thats only if we sign the couple of players though. Barrow announced Rooney s the best signing this division has made..........but im just keeping my fingers crossed for the moment. Think theres another PNG lined up as well.

Looking very good, Fax will have the best team on paper by the looks of it, though we've not finished and I think our pack is starting to look very good with the addition of Pickersgill and Haggerty. Couple more players and we won't be far away. Has Calland learnt much from this season? Only time will tell but he still seems to be looking down the 'entertainers' line, and I'm not so sure that works in this league.

I think he has learnt and thats why Brannigan has been brought in. He plays a much more structured game so can take us around the field more whereas black and penky are definately off the cuff players.

We need to add to our pack IMO to compete with Barrow, Widnes, Fev, Sheffield who all have decent packs so far

It will be interesting to see how Fax start next season, I doubt they will start out the blocks like last year. We know the feeling oh to well from 2007.

Can you add much to your pack now? With the players you have, do you really think there is room on the £300k cap left to fit some quality?

: Wed Oct 07, 2009 10:16 am  

Expect a couple players to leave that are not signed up yet such as Gov leaving. Still quite a lot in that unsigned bracket.

Fax do have a good side but we all thought the same last year and had a really indifferent season. Once our squad is finished I'm sure it will be top notch.

Luke Branighan is 27. What's going on? Far too young for our squad

Viewing figures:
Dad's Army 11.5m ave.
Young Ones 6.4m ave.

Stanley Beans is what 57? and Makali is about 36, if Superstar Dave Larder signs on and that Jesus lookalike then you will hit the average age of about 34. All as you need now is Karl Harrison to come out of retirement and your done. Im also liking the idea of having 2 butterhands at 6 and 7 for fax. Beswick is finished and is struggling to make the bench for Fax and Penkypoopz has been struggling for form.

Other than that your squad looks impressive for a Yorkshire club.
