8 - Cherryholme
9 - Beswick
10 - Matty James
11 - Bannister
12 - Manning
13 - Barlow

14 - Penky
15 - Maloney
16 - Aizue
17 - Fairbank (If we could get him) If not, then some other fringe Super Leaguer!

We definitely need another solid and consistent performer like Maloney though.

Would love to see Maloney back, hes sure wont have picked up any bad habbits in Oz!

i can see us retaining fairbank on DR, because i still dont think hell be in hudds 1st team next year, but they sure wont want rid permanantly, if we could get him on loan for year that would be ideal!

also Luisi is a good call from barra.

Rhino will be after some scary props

I'm sure i heard somewhere we were cutting the player budget even more this year to improve the youth side if the club, if i am right in saying this, why would Maloney join us when he turned down the offer last year, the offer isnt going to be worth any more money to him

If poss

Dom Maloney (Australia)
Bob Beswick
Shaun Hesketh (Batley)
Ste Bannister
Sam Barlow
Jacob Fairbank (Loan??)

Penky
Aizue
Michael Knowles (Barrow)
Josh Barlow

Why do you assume he turned it down due to the money? If somebody offered me a job in Aus for the same money or even less I would be on the next flight.

Have you forgot about Dane Manning?

Yes sorry

Lucky Black Cat

you made a good selection but I would prefer Joe Chandler to Josh Barlow as I think he is a better prospect and would develop much quicker under the guidence of KH.

IMO it's too much of a "luxury" to have both Beswick and Penky. I can't see why either one or the other can't play the full 80, with a kid from the under 23s being back up hooker. Also Handforth can play hooker if necessary. I like Beswick but would keep Penky and swap Bob for a second row / prop.

I've got an odd, rumbling feeling in the pit of my stomach that Penkywicz won't be with Halifax in 2012, and have a sneaking suspicion that he'll instead be interchanging with Jon Clarke at Widnes next season.

Got a feeling Macca will still be at the fax next year - a must sign - stand out performer this year.

Penky doesnt want to be fulltime is what I have heard and so wont be going to Widnes. I feel very confident he will stay at Fax until he retires. Expect Widnes to sign Scott Moore from St.Helens as another hooker

You can let that grumbling go now. Just signed on at Fax

Bob likes to take his time if last season is anything to go by.

I recall him being one of the last to accept the new terms offered by the club.

I think he'll be with us in 2012... why not?

Paracetamol!
