I've heard AoB deal is very much still on.

As for Connor, I've only ever seen him in the back row. If the Rams played him at 9 that suprises me.

Apparently for one reason or another AOB does need to stay local so there really is only 4 clubs which are Fax, Fev, Bradford, and Batley. I would say Batley is the least likely and Fev are sorted in that position. Bradford will have the money for him without a doubt looking at how they spend and there is rumors that Patton will leave which would free up quite a bit of cash for them. For me he is a must have signing but I reckon it would be either or him and Moore and with Moore having a year left he would be reluctant to leave as no team in this division would match his wages.

Linking AOB with Bradford reminds me of one of my favourite selection howlers of all time. 2016, Fev v Bradford, one of the pivotal Championship games of the last 10 years, winner makes the lucrative Middle 8 playoffs, loser goes into the Championship Shield.

Rohan Smith drops Adam O'Brien and goes with Danny Addy at 9 and Stuart Howarth off the bench. One of the most inexplicable selections I can remember. Fev won 20-0 and Bradford went into administration about 3 months later.

If I remember correctly, Connor Davies' last game for Fax was a couple of years ago in the play off match against Whitehaven at the Shay when he came on as sub. He was trampled by the Haven forwards, totally out of his depth.

If we are chasing Davies it must be that we are broke. Awful choice

Have any of you thought that the coach might just know a bit more about him than you?

Normally I would obviously agree with that, but even good coaches get it dramatically wrong sometimes - Will Maher.

Grix brought in loads of duds in his time including Flemming who couldn't run through a paper bag for some reason.

That article mentions AOB's favourite player is Gaskell; one of Bradfords hookers is the waste of space Flanagan while we have 2 decent hookers under contract. I'd be gutted if AOB ended up at Bradford but sadly I wouldn't be surprised.

I thought the same thing however I’m on the Huddersfield fans forum and they’re all saying he’s going to fax including one who specifically says she spoke to him directly, also someone mentioned that Brandon Moore needed shoulder surgery and could be out for a while.

I'm getting a nasty feeling the longer the silence regarding a possible re-signing of AOB the more likely he's going to Bradford, who'll announce it after their own season is over.

But there's an outside chance Bradford could still be promoted which will throw their recruitment into chaos. Fev and Toulouse are not Leigh and are very vulnerable.

Well, a signing is to be announced at 5pm. Betting on Douglas, Davies, O'Brien or Widdop.

saw Widdop in town at Lunchtime, but he wasn't wearing his Panthers top. I am betting Connor Davies.
