young jacob fairbank off of huddersfield signed today on a year loan

Think it`s a one year deal `cos he`s off back to OZ unless of course he has a stormer of a season and we persuade him to stay for one more year.

From an outsider looking in, he's a decent signing. Not the best or flashiest prop around, but as I was saying to a friend yesterday, every side needs an experienced 'enforcer' to give a pack some extra bite. Gannon will certainly provide that for you. A no brainer for Fax really - experienced, locally based player (no travelling expenses), who still has something to offer on the field.

You sound like Danny Murphy!

good player if true, will learn a lot of gannon.

Thats what I like to see, someone young, talented and eager. good signing if true/

Just hope Jim brings another local lad with him from widnes, who he gave a lift to for training and matches.

Kavanagh? Dont think Barlow and Nashy will be too pleased to see him

It was published on HRLFC website in october 2009 saying he was on a 2 year deal. Surely the club would not put on their own site if it wasn't true.

Before Mr Fax came along the club just copied the Courier articles.

I think some of you are vastly underating his signing! And basing 'penalty machine' one game against you lot, based on all I have seen of you lot on tele he's three times the player of Thamghart & Watened (IMO

).

From what I read earlier in the season he's just what you need as well, he'll make the hard yards, do the no nonsense stuff and also won't take to being pushed about (Barlow & Barrow NRC as two). He may have conceded a few extra pens this season BUT you have to remember a lot of the time he was the pnly out and out prop over 23 in our side most weeks so had a lot of pressure on him and his work rate was exceptional and obviously appreciated by the club and our players last year (end of season awards).

Dissapointed to see him go, however it was only ever going to be for one more year here so fair play to him, and let's await his replacement.

Cheers for all the 100% effort you put in big man!
