Regardless of the Pork chop Jim Gammon anyone know of anything else in the pipeline. What about the RAF guy who played at our Nines competition, Adam Rudd is it ?. is he signed ?.

I said we used too then started facing up better with him and Haggs on board. When in a side with two 17 year olds against Wigan what do you expect? With the average age of our pack most weeks could of been a lot worse thus year and he has played in two finals in two years? Not as tragic as some like to make out is it? Twice the player of Tamghart and Watene anyway!

the guy from the RAF is Chris Gordon, and i belive he as been invited to pre season training

Get a hold of yourself, Maybe you need something stronger than your namesake, Tamghart was awesome for fax, Taking the ball forward with pace others in the league didn't. I have every faith that he will return for us again. Frank the tank is exactly that, Lost pace in the last season but dont go down easily at all, always driving the legs and as for as both of them tackling, they are better with one arm than Gannon is with 3. The NRC is a excuse to make up games in the season and dont count for me, However, fair play it is there to be won and you did that once, but come on Batley beat you to it this year ( oh dear, i feel Hunslet might get a little mention here ).

Sean Fax,

When we got Barlow did we not also get someone else, I cant for the life of me remember who it was but i am sure the name Rudd fits here somewhere, Who is he and is he still on the books ?. never saw him play.

Rudd played against Sheffield but broke something and hasn't been seen since. Might be back next year, we don't know.

Adam Rudd was at Leigh for a few years, playing centre/2nd row. IMO, he's not fast enough for centre & not big enough for 2nd row. A good tackler, but seems to have been one of those players who are blighted by injury. Perhaps a fair yardstick is that Leigh probably wouldn't have him back.

How did Gannon do in this years Championship Grand Final?

Its a Good Job we didn't get callands head because he turned out to be just what we needed in the face of adversity, I for one did want him to go and that comes down to me getting too exceted/tense etc.

However, that early exit and the challenge cup early exit did so much financial damage to us. Imagine this scenario.

Won Northern rail cup, ( who knows, we were not at our best then so maybe not )
Last 8 Challenge cup, Possible Last 4 as Catalans were playing terrible.
Northern Rail 9's Winners
2010 Championship Champions.

Now that would have been some mean feat, we would have had Finance Galore, Sponsors falling over themselves to get to us and a team everyone would have wanted to sign/play for.

However, Its all in the if and buts, i cant help thinking though, what if. Would we have been looked at for a Licence more favourably. Who knows.

jacob fairbank on loan from hudds?

Karl Fairbanks Nephew, Is he Dual Registered or Full Loan ?. Rumour or confirmed Fact ?.

Thought it was a team effort?

Face it Watene is the forwards version of Matt Gardner looks like he's going to be good but a rugby player he just aint!
