I think Grady would be a good addition but believe me you won't get anything out of Gilmore he's very overrated.

Well just look on the Widnes forum to see about Tom Gilmore and is a very poor player. Shane Grady actually played okay in a Widnes shirt, but Gilmore was always injured and most games that he did play was shocking. I wish him well though in his new venture and probably what the lad needs. I definitely would not want Grady though as a player as we should go for better.

Just hoping the guy does well in blue n white or purple!. must have something about him by being included in the England set up, but does read as though he is a tad fragile,
Welcome Tom Gilmore and prove the doubters wrong.

very uninspiring signing-sounds like he was getting released anyway.Why can't we get someone upcoming like Fairclough at Swinton who mugged us off all over the park other week.

I think the second point is a fair one (some of the players on the "wish list" thread on their forum are quite amusing), but to be fair they have been critical of Gilmore almost to a man on their forum all year.

Connor Robinson never was outstanding at Halifax but tearing it up at York now.

Tom Gilmore might be just stale at widnes and ready for a new challenge.

Before writing him off before he has even pulled on a blue and white shirt is a bit unfair.

That the one that is supposedly 'realistic' and where the OP starts of by including Chisholm from [iBradford[/i?

Phantom Horseman your correct and to be honest a few years been slating him. But I hope he does well for your team, but if you or anyone signed Craven I would say you have a decent player. Gutted Johnstone has left, but it will be inevitable with some players. Looking on the Widnes forum I think only a few are wanted to be retained.

Well we never slag any of our players of so nowt to worry about here Tom.

Listening to yesterdays game, Fax imploded again with giving needless penalties away, yes the referee was inconsistent,
but S G really needs to get the message across that you can be hard, you can be ruthless but giving away easy yards only comes back to bite you in the 'arris.
Personally i think ED Barber is the type of player Fax need but he gives too many easy yards to the opposition by being a little hotheaded, or is it now he has a name for misdemeanors refs are looking at him all the time?

Get a grip on needless penalties next year Mr Grix please. York were going nowhere until E B lost it.

A great example of how one can have a totally misguided perception by just listening rather than watching. I very rarely criticise refs as it's a tough job and they usually get it right, and an even spread between the teams. And Grant looked OK when he first came on the scene. But I've no idea where that performance came from. Probably the worst reffing I've seen for many years which frustrated the hell out of the Fax players as well as us fans. How can one play at a kick through when it hits him from half a foot giving them a scrum? How can he miss the most blatant knock on ever? The list is endless. Ref deffo cost Fax the game.
