Always for what it's worth as quoted in this weeks RL press.

Karl Harrison, allthough remaining tight lipped as to who they maybe stated that the club has made a couple of significant new signings for next year.

In a seperate article in the same paper concerning unrest at Batley, rumours concerning Paul Mennell again and additionally Garreth Potts were being linked with Fax.

ohhh ffs not more batley rejects!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm with you on that one.

Paul Mennell is a good tough hooker. One that doesnt need to stand out on the wing because he cant tackle.. Good distribution too.

Gaz Potts is the fastest player in the league. Fact. He can also cover full back and is good under the high ball. John Kear said he made the wrong choice when it was between him and Dale Morton for first team squad a couple years ago

I heard today we're after a prop from Whitehaven?

Paul Jackson maybe looking for a Yorkshire club?

Not another prop!!!!!!!! How many props do we need at Fax? We need at least one class centre that can draw a man and pass to get our wingers away and offer a plan B other than just bish bosh bash. We need 2 class hookers to get back to where we were with Penky, Beswick, Gleeson and where Fev are now with theirs. We also need at least one class halfback to compliment Murrell at 13 for me.
We have enough quality in the prop department thank you!

Paul has had a good season but the best years are behind him.

There is a definate trend at Fax for signing up good quality younger players who want to be at the club and Jacko doesn't fit that catergory anymore.

Mennell and Potts may or may not be additions but I would not have thought they would be classed as "significant" signings.

I was overhearing all sorts of chat at the game yesterday among which was both Thacks and Tiger are on their way to the Rams.

Just more rumour, who the hell knows??

Answer the Fax coaching staff and BOD, it will be very interesting to see how things work out.

Thacks to Dewsbury is apparently done,

Handforth I've seen linked to Batley and Dewsbury, but also heard he may retire

Am I the only one who really cannot understand the logic in Thackeray to Dewsbury

All rumours but I've heard the big signing is a key player at fev with Halifax roots

I just dont think he is good enough to play for a team competing at the top of this league. You look at players like Finn, Kain, Brambani, Ridyard, and Thackery isnt in the same class. Its ironic really because he reminds me a lot of Brambani when he played for us in that he was bobbing around a lot but good judges realized he wasnt really that involved for all of his `action`. Brambani has matured in to a very good player though so maybe Thackery can too.

I would also say the same about Patterson, the Ashalls, Handforth in that they wont really let you down but are not good enough to be regulars in a team that wants to win trophies. Its a harsh game and a few of our players have been found out this year.

Why are they rejects does that make robbo and manning rejects Do you wish we had not signed them because they leave one club to join another does not make them rejects. Maybe they want to better them selves, more chance of wining something. That's the bullfrogs upset now

Does not bother me which club we get them from as long as they improve team, and menal will do this.

They're offering a bit of money about, didn't they offer robbo more than us but he opted to stay where he could contend for trophys?

That's going to be a big thing for next year, with the restructure imminent. Joining a top end championship club will be more attractive to many. But Halifax, Fev, Leigh, Sheffield ect will want to be building young sides which will develop and last. As well as possibly be able to complete against the SL clubs who don't make the grade.

If we use next season cleverly, we could have a decent settled squad and be a year in front of the relegated teams who will have a degree of rebuilding to do.

Whatever happens. We'll be there or thereabouts. Sheffield Fev and Halifax are the top 3 in the championship. Leigh probably make up a "big 4". Batley look to be getting picked apart with players linked with us, G.Moore already signed for Fev, I think 2 have signed SL deals too. How they recruit will be interesting but they've been linked with a lot of dewsbury players which wouldn't go down well!

i jsut dont think there players that will set the championship alight! I never here mennell did this potts did that!! Another Handforth and rettie on there way then!! When i think we can sign more prolific
