He is finally fulfilling the potential that he has always had and is up there in the top 2 or 3 fullbacks in the league. All that makes the decision to sign Brandon Pickersgill and only consider them both as FB only players even more bizarre. Personally feel we will see a more confident squad under Finn.

| AOB & Joe Keyes named captains with Fairbank as vice. Not really a huge surprise after last season looking a little rudderless and with AOB expected to be on the pitch for most of the game. Opportunites could be limited for Moore but lets hope that we can see more of the player we saw before he got the captaincy.

I think the appointment of AOB is great. I think for Keys he should be left alone to manage the game and play his
Game instead of the extra pressure of having to captain the side too but I’m sure they will both do a great
Job. Vice captain to Fairbank as we all know he plays well and being vice captain should make him think twice before commenting stupid penalties that he sometimes does

| Widdop obviously still a very good player at this level if he can stay fit - just no idea where he plays unless he can slot in at centre where we are desperately short. I suppose it worked out well with Greg Florimo who came as a stand off and then was brilliant at centre - hope we've not just signed him as a probably very expensive name.

| A good signing for the press as it will give us a bit of limelight for while in RL press. May get a few more through the gate. What does need to happen is Widdop to play and play well all season and make that little bit of difference that will upset opposition and give us the winning edge. If he doesn’t perform then it’s no more than giving him a retirement wage.

| Agree with both what Ilkley and Faxlore have said, its certainly a signing that will get people talking although the timing when most RL writers are on holiday might not see that much press about it. I think its great that we can have a player with so many honors in the game playing for us and his profile and experience should be a big boost for the changing room. Obviously I have said before if it were up to me that money would have been spent on areas of the team that we do need strengthening rather than spend money on a player in a position we are strongest. My worry is that for everyone that is declaring it as a great signing, maybe they did not see that much of him in his last season in SL, but a change of scenary and the opportunity to play for his hometown club can be mutually beneficial and he can once again raise his game because there is no doubting his attacking prowess when he is on his game.

| He mentions in his interview that he lost his son last week. I don’t don’t know anything about his son but if has been ill over the last season that Will probably be why He Didn’t have a good season at Cas. Understandably so. May be after the very sad Passing of his son he feels he can now Give one more season to the RL game And that club is us. Heartfelt love to him and his wife and family if their son had passed away.

Credit to him putting on such a brave face such a short time after. Hopefully things get easier for him over the coming months.

| With all he's achieved in the game playing for his for his home town club was the last honour Gaz could achieve and the only club he would have pulled a shirt on for.
It's been on the cards for a while now and was rumoured to be going to happen when the new shirt was launched with him wearing it.
There's no big mega money involved just a big heart and a big commitment.
There's been odd stand out performers such as Martyn Ridyard who at this sort of age have shown what class and experience can do for a side both on and off the field and Widdop is a step or 2 up from him.
Let's hope he can stay fit and do the same for Fax.
Welcome aboard Gaz and all the best to you and yours.

| Very sorry to hear about his son passing that is terrible for him and his family to go through. Personally i think he could be a very good signing as long as he can stay fit. I think he got scapegoated at Cas playing in what was one of the worst Cas sides i have seen. That is no excuse for the part he played for them but i think there was bigger problems down the lane last year than him. And from a playing point of view for us one of the issues that Grix mentioned on a number of occasions last year was someone stepping up and leading the side around the park plus i think his kicking game should benefit us because ours last year left a lot to desire. All that said i do agree that we need strengthening in other areas too.

| Brandon Moore gone- while I'm happy to have Inman and O'brien as hookers, Moore has been a fantastic servant to the club, and in his pomp was probably the best hooker in the division. Don't know if it's injuries but seems to have lost his zip out of dummy half over last couple of seasons- his defence remained fantastic. He will be an excellent signing for another championship club - could see him ending up at Bulls,Batley or even Fev who are still very light on numbers.

| This should give Inman more game time he needs. Also Obrian is a far better hooker for him to learn from.
Hope this frees up money to bring in some where we are lacking
