I agree , I think we’ve upgraded our halves in terms of game management and short kicking game and bolstered our pack which really did show towards the back end of the season, we now have a nice blend of youth and experience. Grix is keen on players who follow a game plan , many times last season we got into winning positions and started being silly with the ball , hopefully with the new players joining that ll be cut down to a minimum.

Spot on.

Welcome joe it will be the first time in a while that we have had 2 genuine in joe and greg by modern day standards anyway. I am at a loss with those messages from the game caller is Douglas coming or not does he even know.

That’s understandable, he does get some right but if he gets it wrong he back tracks and says they were in talks etc . His last tweet was that Halifax weren’t interested anymore but that they were still ‘ four big ones ‘ left to announce , it’s my understanding that jouffret and wood are definites with wood offered an apprenticeship with one of the sponsors and jouffret being sponsored by stagefreight , funnily enough the game caller was in Halifax earlier name dropping https://twitter.com/thegamecaller/statu ... 23648?s=21 So that leaves 2 but I guess it falls under the ‘ we’ll see category’

TGC needs a good dose of senokot so when he’s talking out of his booty we can hear him better.
After all he is from Bradford.

Liam Finn also incoming on the coaching front, first session tonight I believe.

Welcome Kyle wood. Just the type of hooker we need to compliment Brandon Moore and hopefully take brandons game to the next level. Is it true about Liam Finn joining the coaching staff because the club haven't said anything yet if he as. Considering the type of player he was i think he could go on to be a good coach hopefully for Halifax.

Rikki Sheriffe leaving which would suggest Finn rumours may well be right.

Makes me wonder how much influence Scott Grix has on the signings, with Liam Finn rumoured to be assistant coach and Kyle wood and joe arundal joining all three having played with Scott at Wakefield, the 2017 season Wakefield finished 5th in super league and had a good season, bodes well for us having these experienced members added to our squad .

Brandon Douglas as signed for Sheffield. Strange one this because it was said that we beat off other championship sides for is signature then a month later we have dropped our interest. I wonder what went on to change our minds and will we now bring in a other prop instead or go with what we have got. Then there is always the dreaded dr to use as well and huddersfield do look well off for props.

Yes out of all those rumoured to be coming in from the various sources Douglas was the only one that’s I am aware of not to materialise. Edit:I should have mentioned Alex Foster.
One of the sources was The Game Caller for some of them including the BD u turn.
.
According to him Fax had a “Big Ten” lined up which included BD but not Liam Whitton and with Cole Oakley being a late addition speculator / work in progress recruit not him either.

Doing the maths if the big ten was a accurate statement with 11 now signed - the above 2 then that leaves 1 more although TGC recently hinted that there could be another 2 without going into details and naming names.

The one other name linked with a season long loan by TGC was Ollie Roberts from the Giants..
What followed was OL subsequently said it was the first he had heard of it.
TGC was called out about it.
He replied he had his sources and was sticking by his comments.

Back to permanent signings the last Panthers post announcing the new coaching staff, 11 new signings, return to training etc with season tickets being next up may suggest that’s it for now.


Watch this space I suppose because just as I posted another 6pm signing is put on Facebook and then removed soon after

Yes so did I.
I am using an IPad and it’s hard work as it simply can’t cope with all the video adds but the post was there was quickly removed and the awards posts came on.
The other one I should have mentioned who Fax were chasing as you know was Alex Foster now signed for Newcastle.
Was he one of the big ten?
