Let's do this properly then now Penky is defo going.

Who do you want to replace Penky?

Someone experienced? New blood? Put Craig Ashall there?

My thoughts are the other Ashall from Swinton.

I hope we don't attempt to replace our best player with him no.

We need someone of absolute quality and not a player who can just 'do a job'.

The only potential signing I can think of who is fit to lace Penky's boots is Andy Ellis although I'm not sure how likely us signing him is.

A Sean Penkywicz clone.

Or Andy Ellis/Luke Robinson

Ellis I bet will cost a fortune in wages.

I think Carl Ashall could be a pleasant surprise for us - if we got him that is.

Love to see Luke Robinson at Fax - never happen though.

Penky won't be on peanuts that's for sure.

His replacement has already been mentioned and it's not someones brother!

is chris smith karl harrison in Disguise he knows more then most,???????, lmfao

What's up Sean the cat suit not entitle you to inside info???

My info may well be wrong (we'll see) but over the years has been pretty well informed!! My understanding is it is down to 2 players with one a clear fave to replace Penky.

i know plenty boy but dont put stuff on here, and by the way i wont bite at your childish coment, end off

Is it secret? Missed the name drop first time round. Anyone that wants to PM me with any rumours are more that welcome!

Maybe your right,nobody has had a traditional hooker for years (cue jokes )

Liam Hood on dual reg. That kids gonna be dynamite.

I think all this getting on Chris's case is out of order, if you've got a beef with anyone on the forum do it via PM like I've previously carried a spat on with Chris or vice versa.

The facts of the matter are, he was told something and chose to put it on here, I was also told 3 weeks ago about Penky going to Leigh, I heard it from a good friend who is in no way connected with Halifax RLFC or supports/sponsors them. I chose to pass this info around to mates who follow RL via text, I was questioned about the integrity of the "rumour" but I sit here with a smile on my face safe in the knowledge that my informant was correct, whether anyone at Halifax RLFC knew about it, or even denied knowing it i couldn't care less TBH, 'cos I wouldn't expect a professional organisation to behave that way, similarly to the post I made a few days ago about players' salaries coming into the public domain.
What I will say is, one particular poster who doesn't get to too many games anymore asked me recently to keep him up to date with any rumours of signings 'cos in his words i was "spot on to date" and that I will 'cos we all love a bit of gossip and I won't be revealing my sources of info on here either ( remember Chris i questioned you about this on here ? )


So, for all of you that are interested, Ben Barba won't be signing for us just yet.
