MC must resist this as much as possible, IMO he is a crucial player for Fax;

He can rotata with Penky
Good cover for Loose and 6
Fanatastic kicking game
Cracking pair of hands with arguably the best ball distrubution skills in the team
Work rate in defence consistently high

If it's a choice of picking who to chop Bob must be last on that list! He's worth the money....

Daryl spoke to us yesterday. Beswick is the kind of player he'd want and is one of those players who have declined to accept a reduced contract, However, he has agreed to 'in principle (whatever that means) to remain at Fax. He is as I type 'under contract' and cannot be approached by Fev. Unless Fax change the terms of his contract (in which case would become a freebie), he remains a fax player. Daryl does not anticipate that this will change. Hope this helps.

Thacks by a country mile

I rate Jones highly though do think he may be better suited to 7 with Black on the frindges at 6 then the other way around!

Just out of interest if Bob is under contract how did Daryl speak to him to ascertain that he is 'in principle' staying at fax. If he is as you say under contract then no contact should have been made as he remains a Halifax player. (illegal approach from Fev ????) Also I am sure Halifax would much rather pay his contract than release him to a rival club in the same league as a freebie. Would Man Utd have let Wayne Rooney leave for nothing to Man City .......

But he can speak to Bob if Halifax have given Bob permission to speak to other clubs. We don't know if this is the case, and nor should we.

Awkward start for you in the NRC.

Mind you Leigh's first 6 Championship fixtures are:-

Featherstone H
Barrow A
Widnes H
Halifax A
Barrow H
Featherstone A

So we'd better have our act together by then!

with the game these days they just have one on either side of the pitch most of the time directing that side on attack. at most scrums etc it is a centre at stand off position.

bob beswick is back in training on tue nite so im told from a source close to the club today and also you will be seeing dylan nash back in halifax as he flyes in nxt week.will be good to see nasher in the fax colours again

i hope your right!

hey dont worry i am right beswick is back in training nxt week and should be in for the kr game and nash is back nxt week for defo.we should have a awsome side once all fit and we will take some beating

Bob will be at Fax next season! .....end of chat!

if he is back we will have good big centres as ratu looked to have bulked out a lot since he was here last.
