That could be true about Walmsley going and getting a fee. It’s no secret that the club (like all clubs) are Low on money and financial income. If it is the reason then the club did well signing Walmsley in the first place and develop his career and now being able to let him go to another club for financial settlement. Those’d days of clubs buying talented young players from others are all but gone.

As far as I’m aware they’ll only get ten grand anyway so is it really worth it .

Understand Wakey paying over double his current contract, plus that includes him moving with them into SL should they do so. It's not all about what we want as a club. A player's career is relatively short so he gets the chance to earn much more doing so and have the potential of playing at a higher level, he needs to take it and hopefully he his successful..apart from when paying us.

Walmsley's been great for Fax. I remember he got dropped the beginning of 2022 (hard to believe that now!) but he didn't sulk and just got on with it. Hope it works out for him.

I know McGillvary has said he wants to stay full time, but at 36 I doubt if any SL club will take him so it may still be a possibility we can snare him for a season? But as already has been mentioned, this may be a great opportunity for Maizen to step in.

I wouldn’t take McGillvary. He hasn’t been at his best for 4 or 5 seasons and as said he is 36.

No chance on McGillvary, can't train evenings. Rumor seems to be Wakey and if so they have a cracking pair of wingers there.

Should have taken that Keighley winger before this blew.

The one who scored twice against us did look handy before he went off injured i think he has joined Oldham for next year. And there are a couple of Keighleys forwards who i wouldn't mind seeing join us. If Walmsley does leave i would look to bring in a new centre to free up Maizen to play on the wing.

Maizen to wing is a no-brainer. Knows the systems, the plays and the players. He played wing at his previous club and in the WC last year.

It will be interesting to see what Finn does with Tibbs and McComb this year.

Definitely need another out and out centre though to add competition

Why haven't Fax announced the signing of Brandon Douglas yet?

Why waste money on announcing the signing of a player when another club has already done it for you!

Seems a bit strange/worrying that we're coming to the end of the extended early bird season ticket offer with only AOB confirmed as a new signing. In previous seasons we've used signings as a way of driving season ticket sales - hope this doesn't mean that's it for new signings.

The deadline normally gets extended doesn't it? I mean they would be mad to end it so early wouldn't they?

I know it's probably hypothetical discussing a wish list as we've probably fully signed up now. But if London do get promoted and shed a few players, I wouldn't mind seeing Parata at Fax. Very good player, he gave us tough time at the Shay and should have won it with a penalty try after Murray obstructed him.

With IMG criteria governing promotion next year think a lot of clubs, including Fev, will likely dramatically reduce their player budget for next year. Only exceptions are Wakefield and possibly Bulls who with decent on field performance might have a chance of going up. Really pleased we've signed AOB, but have my doubts about many more big signings. Definitely can't see a chance of signing Widdop - not in the least upset at that. Lack of transfer activity combined with damp squib ending to the season is going to make season tickets a tough sell - I've got mine but that's just a stupid habit that's hard to break after about 40 years!
