Handforth will be signing for Keighley within the next couple of days. Halifax have signed Liam Finn.

Another player that will bore the life out of fans. One trick pony in a dinner suit.

Him and murrell are too similar for me. Both play the same roles.

How many times has Finn had a stormer against us? I think he's class, Finn and Murrell would have much potential.

Jeez, the club try to sort out weaknesses for next year and we moan before its official. Bet Finn can't wait.

Speed in the three quarters now.

We must be down, moaning about something that isn't official yet

Hang on a minute, it's called an opinion. I just think they are too similar. I'd like to see a player who takes the line on, has a bit of speed and footwork, both Murrell and Finn do not play these type of roles. In my opinion this is why Handforth and Murrell haven't worked, they both play too similar roles as the dictators/organisers.

All ifs and buts now anyway. Someone like that Ridyard from Leigh but again id be surprised if we got him.

Perhaps if they played Murrell in his original position of loose forward , Finn at half back with a recognised scrum half and an out and out hooker then that could work

Ditto that.

Especially if Thacks is going.

I agree. Be a damn site better then what we have/do now.

If we have signed Finn then it is a must that we get a quality quick scrum half and hooker to compliment what Murrell and Finn would bring to the team. Honestly the other positions are not that important if that were the case. We would have won the league this season with our backs and forwards if we had a decent half back and hooker partnership.

Hmm. First-time poster started the thread, no link and no sources for this news.

Only thing is it's true.
Perhaps not Handforth, I understand he was thinking of retiring, but certainly about Finn.

We said the same about Holroyd and Branigan....

No we didn't. Did you ever see Holroyd putting the hits in like Branno in defence. Branno and Holroyd were totally different players, Branno played centre in the final, a testiment to the fact he took players on...................... How many times did we see Branno play before he signed for us, how many times have we seen Finn play, a damn site more so Id say we have a clearer picture of Finn then Branno before he signed.

Maybe my first post & dont believe me if you don't want to but have very good sources & you'll see shortly!
