Cherryholme isn't a new player.

Hope this is just a poorly worded article and not actually the truth

Exactly, read the article again slowly. Surely it should say something about additions to the pack for 2011 alongside the players who signed 2 Year deals i.e Maloney, Penky etc. Normally when a club's season is over the first thing it does is release a retained and not retained list. We seem to be scarily quiet on that front.

Nothing to drip feed if they are on 2 Yr existing deals surely??? Just tell us!!!

As Aiziu said in his interview regarding trying to get into the NRL, which is his dream, he is on a 2 year contract but their is a clause in there that says if he can get a better deal he is allowed to quit and leave to another team, I wonder how many of the contracted players have these clauses written into their contracts, Perhaps this is why its slow at coming out into the public domain, why else would it state getting burnt .

says in todays courier negotiations ongoing with barlow, larder and bannister from last seasons back row.

One more year from Superstar, I think, and the other 2 have made a big impact in the Fax team, but can't see them getting much better offers from other teams, as they are not the stand out players in the squad, so can see them all starting next season in the Blue & White of Fax.

I also feel that Ben will be staying and leading from the front again. There is not the money out there with the reduced salary cap, so I feel several others will see sense and re-sign contracts for next year. Keep the faith!

i hope so black to stay he has to after his match winning game in the final.

I am sure Ben would not want to give up his Part time Coffee making for Harveys for the world.

I have a feeling Ben is a fax Faithfull who will be with us to the end now.

Barlow to make a Shock return to Sheffield along with Rob the Warrior worrincy.

We will however see what the next few weeks brings.

Don't be a Goon, I am taking the Pish, As if either would ever go back their while Aston is still at the Helm !

Out of the Fab 3 ( Des Clarke, Gavin Clinch, Damien Gibson ) Gibbo became a Fax lad and has laid Roots.

Now out of ( Ben Black, Shad Royston, erm....I'll say Branno ) Blacky will be just the same i think.

Despite what people say and my opinion of our own town sometimes, There must be some kind of Lure.

( Easy Women and in Gibbo's case, " Dixie Chicken " )

Dave Larder is phenomenal. Despite the likes of Tommy Martyn, Neil Turley, etc. It was Dave who was my player of the year when we won the GF back in 2004. As for Adam Rudd, he has been alarmingly injury prone, whilst at Leigh. Let's hope he can put that behind him now.

Des still lives in fax and has well and truelly cemented himself here

Could be a perfect farewell speech? The way he played in that final, SL clubs must have been taking note. I hope to God they didn't though, we should be looking to build the team around Blacky.

if a SL team comes in for him same as they did for royston i think everyone would wish him luck, he deserves a chance.
