sounds like we could have a good one , if we can keep him fit, cant say ive seen him play much, but some widnes fans think we have got a good one, sounds good

Well done Fax! The agreement til the end of the season gives us an opportunity to have a decent look at him....welcome aboard Mr Bannister.

Well he has only played in the reserves and had a big gut but looked useful.Depends on his attitude but he has talent.I cant understand why not been given a chance.We do have decent second rowers now i think we are short in the centres.Anyway hope he does well for you and hope to see you in a few weeks at stobart stadium.

next friday see u there.

Good signing, be even better if we could get him for next year as well.

From what I've seen of him, he looks like he could be one of the best back rowers in the Championship.....potentially!

He tackles well, works hard, and is excellent in attack, with a great step at pace. He has looked unfit though, and seems to have some baggage. I can't understand why clubs keep offloading him, but there must be something wrong somewhere.

I do find it strange that we have offloaded him to Halifax, and can only assume we are freeing up salary cap money in order to bring in someone else. Good luck to the lad anyway*.

Welcome to Halifax Mr Banaster lets hope you earn a exstended contract Good luck.

Cullen isnt renowned for getting the best out of players so lets let Matt Calland have a go.

Matt and Martin have got the best out of most players under their leadership. And have made very few signings who have disappointed large sections of the crowd.

If they didnt think it would be a worthwhile signing then he wouldn't be with us.

Come on Brew, make your mind up, remember Hemmingway?

Joking aside, I agree. Good signing.

I already had an opinion on him based on things I'd been told pre season, when we turned down the chance to sign him. More interested in lining his own pocket than playing for Fax at the time.
