Delighted with this signing.

Black didnt have his best season last year, but still absolute quality, as the comments from the Fax fans on here will testify.

Dont feel at all as disappointed about Handforth now.

If the Aizue rumours are true too, even better.

Bye Ben, thank you for the great memories.

Strange one is, or am I the only person who thinks Black is better than both Handforth and Thackeray, even with Black's patchy form this season?

no.

Good luck Blacky, all the best. You've had some brilliant moments playing for Halifax over the years.

suppose time will tell on that one.As a fax fan though i beleive Harrison has got this right,much as ive enjoyed Bens stints here.

Harrison most definitely has done the right thing, we need consistency, Ben has never had that, hes a match winner on his day and can break defences at any level, unfortunately Bens flaky confidence, poor defence and lack of consistency has always held him back, and thats why he was in the UK to start with and not playing for a bigger Aussie Club, cheers all the same Ben and good luck. Some very exciting moments over the years.

Personally i would have prefered Black to Handforth along with Thackery, He has had a bad year but with no pack to play behind and he has been carrying injuries with his toe and knee most of the year i fear this will definatly come back to haunt us.

Hasn't been the same since they fixed his toes. Thanks for the memories Blacky, saved us from relegation in your first season and returned to save us again.

Thanks for the memories in blue & White Ben, all the best at Batley

I did wonder how long it would take for a Smoggie to turn up
