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!

Heard the board are trying to push the Widdop deal. Crazy if so, we don't need to become a retirment village for players that are past it especially in positions that we are already pretty strong in. Spend the same sort of money and bring in 3-5 quality forwards would be my choice.

I'd be surprised if Widdop would command the same money as 3-5 quality forwards, Greg, but I share the same view that we could be taking on somewhat of a white elephant. He's got the size, however, to play at loose so if he's not asking for a lot and he keeps himself in trim, maybe he could be useful with all his experience.

Looks like we're announcing a retention at 5.
