To be announced at 4 pm

Do well to pick someone up at this stage of the season so I imagine it will be a loan signing. At a guess a young lad after some game time from a SL club just to add another body.

Panthers website Part quoteone moan loan from Super League side Leigh Leopards.

Notice the time period, sure to feel at home here.

PS: Just heard the club are now looking for an experienced sponsor. Mm


PPS: It’s okay they’ve found him. See below.

Welcome aboard Jacob,no moans from me on this one..Even the DR apologists don't believe that a supposedly much higher profile player can come in at a minutes notice and impact in one game...

Happy with Jacob joining us for the next month. If i remember right he was the Bradford player who chased down woody at last years summer bash and not many do that especially not forwards.

Asked Matt shaw on Twitter today regarding recruitment and img feedback from fax .

His response “They are really keen to recruit. They're looking and trying. They don't want to panic but there is an understanding they need to get people through the doors.

IMG, believe Fax are largely approving of what's in there. They know what they need to do.”

Spot on regarding the recruitment but on IMG it’s not so clear, maybe more like what IMG would “like” to believe and Fax are largely keeping their cards close to their chest as there’s a lot who aren’t onboard with it and plenty yet to come out.

Looked a very good player at Bradford - seems to have lost his way a bit at Fev with the competition for places at fullback. After his experiences at Featherstone can't see him being happy to come here just as back up to JWH so if it comes off will be interesting to see where he fits in. Regardless would be a quality addition to a very thin squad.

Strange one...decent player but wouldn't be first choice and you'd think he'd only leave Fev for first team football.Need a brutal centre and prop but probably none available.

Yeah makes very little sense this we have cover at HB and fullback seems like a signing for signings sake when we need a centre and a couple of forwards and there will now be less money for that. Lets face it barring an injury Woody isn't losing his spot.

Aye, can't weigh this one up. As has been said if we have spared up some brass it's obvious where we could use it and it's not as cover for halves or full back surely. I'm sure SG will have his reasons.

I agree it would be a strange one from Halifax's point of view. He's a decent full back at this level, good at chiming into the attack, but he's not as good an all-round player as Woodburn-Hall.Think if Fax are seeing him as a potential third half back that's very optimistic, he didn't look like he fitted that role at all when Bradford tried him there.

He's effectively 4th choice full back at Fev now so makes sense to let him move on but that's the one position where just about every team in the top 8 in the Championship seems to already have a decent player.

If it happens.

Not sure about his D but he’s got some real pace and comes into the line well with a good pair of hands and can cover the back line positions which is one area that needs strengthening lingering on from the departures of Worthington and Arundel.

Kyle Wood is our half back cover and JWH is next in at 6 with Pickersgill going to 1.

It would be remarkable if Keyes goes through another full season without being injured as well with his history

Woody is a star but every game looks like being one tackle away from getting injured, of course the individual has to be right from who’s available but at this stage it’s a squad consideration a well.

For some time the club has been on the phone trying to recruit and been in the running for several players but the money some agents have been asking for are over inflated.

Their still looking and the phone bill and hopefully the wage bill will be getting larger in the immediate future.

I am in a minority here but i do think we need better quality cover for woody then we have currently in the squad. And if he can cover other positions across the backline that is all good too. But let me be clear i would also like a centre and more fire power up front too. It will be interesting to see if Jacob can provide us with that while he is here.
