good player if true, will learn a lot of gannon.

Thats what I like to see, someone young, talented and eager. good signing if true/

Just hope Jim brings another local lad with him from widnes, who he gave a lift to for training and matches.

Kavanagh? Dont think Barlow and Nashy will be too pleased to see him

It was published on HRLFC website in october 2009 saying he was on a 2 year deal. Surely the club would not put on their own site if it wasn't true.

Before Mr Fax came along the club just copied the Courier articles.

I think some of you are vastly underating his signing! And basing 'penalty machine' one game against you lot, based on all I have seen of you lot on tele he's three times the player of Thamghart & Watened (IMO ).

From what I read earlier in the season he's just what you need as well, he'll make the hard yards, do the no nonsense stuff and also won't take to being pushed about (Barlow & Barrow NRC as two). He may have conceded a few extra pens this season BUT you have to remember a lot of the time he was the pnly out and out prop over 23 in our side most weeks so had a lot of pressure on him and his work rate was exceptional and obviously appreciated by the club and our players last year (end of season awards).

Dissapointed to see him go, however it was only ever going to be for one more year here so fair play to him, and let's await his replacement.

Cheers for all the 100% effort you put in big man!

gannon will tighten up our defence as we all know it needs it.

Having looked at this and then other signings so far it looks like Calland & Hall are trying to tighten up our defence, we all know that we can score points from just about anywhere so this is a positive move IMO.

We could score points from anywhere with the players we had last seadon. I would be happier hearing Black, Worrincy, Patterson, etc had all signed.

Not impressed as his discipline is poor and thought he was average against us last year.
BUT he may be one of those that is inspired by moving to a club that deep down he has always been part of, being an adopted Fax boy!
I hope so as its like a 'Back to the Future' film

I think that's what swung it for me, he WANTS to play for Fax, very much in the same vein as Holroyd. How much did Fax fans villify Holroyd when he didn't play for Fax between 2000-2007? Now look at how much he is revered, Gannon could well be similar.

Just look at the past couple of coaches he has played for, McChocker and Cullen, hardly exponents of free running, clean Rugby League are they? Playing under Calland, Ball, Proctor et al I think we will see a different, more Gannon of old.
