solid experienced prop that like said above should help some of our younger pack members. gave away penalties when frustrated that pack he was playing in not on top. but which prop he replacing, wrench?

Said according to Calland. Hopefully if the pack is on top, and it should be, he might not give away penalties through frustration.

exactly. seemed to give more penalties away in matches against fax too.

Welcome Home Jim!

After finishing runners up in 2009 and then chamions in 2010, yes thats right [sizeChampions[/size I have every faith in messers Calland and Hall's signings, how many have they got wrong so far! I can only thin of one and a half

Jim def has the experience, will help players like Cherryholme, i think this will be a solid signing and Jim will have a good season for Fax topped off with a 2011 champions medal.

PS, can we start a book now on how many times he will be referd to as "Big" Jim Gannon in the press!

I heard he was coming back to us after the Widnes game in which Barlow got banned. To be honest i aint too impressed with the Penalty machine, However, It might have been becuase he was in a poor squad.
In Hall i trust, so i will say welcome back Gannon.

As some have stated, please at least tell us who from last year we are retaining so we can get a idea of the squad for next year.

Not too sure on this signing hope im proved wrong

I for one am glad about this signing he still lives local and I think he will bring some passion into the forwards. Yes he gave penalties away at Widnes but to be fair he was used to playing Super League and it must be frustrating to move down to a team as poor as Widnes have been these last couple of years. He is a forward who likes to offload at Widnes he`d turn round and noone was there.
Also you do not know how his coach has instructed him to play because one thing about Jim he does know how to play the game maybe some coaches encourage the high shots etc

Jim has one key strength that we have missed for some time, the ability to offload the ball in the tackle, Frank has been the only one who comes close to having that skill. Maloney and Barlow will learn from him.

His go forward isnt the best as his frame isnt the best for a prop, however the guy is as hard as nails and really does work his ass of. His discipline is questionable and he does give away a few but i doubt your pack will be getting bullied next year with Jimbo in.

Black, Barlow, Worrincey and Nash will all be playing for Fax next year.

awaiting the official announcement with anticipation.

Me too, What about, Bannister, Beswick, Greenwood, Gleeson, Penky, Big Frank,

Already signed. Signed two year deals last year.

still need club to publish who got for next year.

They also Signed Branno for 2 years but appear to be letting him out of it.
