Yes would have loved to see Brierley stay at the club because he was a good player within himself and offered something different from Matt for the team as a group, variation / options are usually a good thing.

I heard Fax wanted to and did try to keep PB but he was tempted by the Toronto offer and a chance to play in SL, the club alluded to that situation in their update to the fans in the outgoing players section.

There must be some incoming forwards to be added to to resigning’s surely?

Nice to know someone does. I believe we may have a couple of props on way, names not known.

Spot on Greg.

we desperatley need some nasty snarling prop forwards

We have done for a while one of the softest packs in the Champioship

Will Calcott. https://t.co/ZKMHhHb94I?amp=1 Good young prospect is Will.

Well I'm happy that JS has put pen to paper, he knows what he is capable of and of the hard work required to get him to his best.
Good on yer Salty, kick on next season pal.

Wood-burnhall

What I said for Salty x 2 for Woody.

Solid re-signings. Salty is steady away and wont shy away from the hard graft. Has to be on the wing though, never a centre for me. Salty at centre for me just shows how desparate we are for a couple of quality centres. Woody should have the fullback shirt for me but we know thats not happening. Quality player on his day and needs a bit of good luck with injuries and a good run in the team although I think its looking like he will be filling the other centre spot. I think our backs and halfs look promising so far but as has been said we are crying out for some props. 2 good props really could be the difference between us chasing 5th spot and actually been hopeful of a top 4 challenge.

League Express in the Salty & Woody story just says “Fax are thought to be on the lookout for some middles to beef up their squad.”

Got to agree with you about Salty, solid player but has to be on the wing.

Not sure about JWH though - I haven't seen anything from him other than that try at Bradford to suggest that he has what it takes. At best for me a squad player to cover for any injuries.

While I didn't really expect Faiebank to move still delighted with his resigning as I feel he's been our most consistent forward over last couple of years and brings an enthusiasm to the team that will be even more needed now that Murrell has gone. The squad list on the clubs website has been updated and would suggest anyone not already announced as leaving will be here next year - while good news obviously a need for some new blood to replace all the departed players..

Can see Jacob being captain next year
