I was surprised when he went to York and it's not been a great move for him, has it ? He's got a great kicking game but, as you say, if you want someone to take the line on, you need sumbdy else.

If Brown and Mennell are our big signings for next year then, IMO, we wont be anywhere near the top 2/3 in the league; boring boring boring....

I suppose its early days in the recruitement process for next season but can't help feeling totally underwhelmed at the prospect of Brown & Mennell playing for the club. Need players with quick hands and real pace to break down the opposition. Considering next season is our most important for ten years and the best we can get is these two!

Murrell is the only decent signing that I can think has been made under Harrison so what is there to show we are suddenly going to start with a raft of what would be perceived as good signings?

If these rumoured signings are correct I remain seriously unimpressed as, I would imagine, will most Fax supporters. Our average attendance has gone down by almost 500 (over 20%) since last year and I can't really see signings of this calibre tempting them back or indeed attracting new supporters.
I really hate to appear negative and I hope the club have some more impressive signings in the pipeline as next year is MASSIVE!

What's with all the doom and gloom????

Lets wait and see what other signings are made before we all start going out and slashing our wrists, feck me this season isn't over yet

Time to get behind the lads in the play offs before we start worrying about next season

I for one think Brown would be a good signing, just need a specialist scrum half with good hands and feet, and a lively young hooker to complement him and Murrell!!

Id be quite happy with Kaye/Holden being our hooking options.
Need a pacy/attacking half back to compliment Brown.At a total
loss as to where Mennell fits in.

Well said. I also think brown is s good player. It's all rumers any way. Let's wait untill signings are confirmed and then when they are let's give them a chance before we start moaning. Some fax fans are so pesamistic they would find fault somewhere if we signed cooper cronke and Cameron smith.

Well said to both of you.

He`s not replacing Thackery, he is replacing Handforth. If you had given me a choice of any No.6 in our league last year I would have gone for him. Sheffield`s rise and final win last season was influenced by his performances. Don't really understand why he moved to York, unless it was the money. We need a good scrum half to compliment his play, but look around, who is there ?

Don't you mean he might be replacing tigger . As I keep saying dont believe untill confirmed by David March, sorry mean halifax


Or was it Paul March keep getting them mixed up. Both pillocks

Back on topic please.....
