Keighley have confirmed the signing of Paul Handforth from next season. Full Championship halfback merry-go-round in Monday @leagueexpress

Well at least that's half the rumor confirmed.

He will do a good job for them. Like I have said about him and a few others we are letting go, he isnt really good enough for a team that wants to be the best in the division.

hope he and they all prove you wrong up until the end of the season.

I bet GFB does too really.

I hope they do prove us wrong absolutely!! But I do have to agree as a signing that I was pretty chuffed about has left me pretty underwhelmed. No doubt he will have a blinder when he plays against us.....

Can we announce some new signings and give us something to get excited about.....??

Yep, nothing would please me more than Handforth dropping the goal that wins us the GF and proving me wrong in the process.

Handforth got subbed in a home game recently. Fev. I think. He had given up. Not seen this many times watching Fax. Personally, I wouldn't play him again this year.

In fact, I'd go as far to say, drop any constant underperforming player now for the rest of the season. No Heaton, Patterson, Tyrer being the first.

Then get rid of those not good enough for next year. Ashalls, Bracek, Thackaray, Reitee. Hard facts.

Underperformed and been a waste in most games for me. Cant say he did much at Fax, despite playing behind a strong pack. Too slow and lazy for me and not somebody who we should have signed in the first place. For me a few players should be going and as well as some coaching staff as we are not even close to being where we should be aiming for. Both Players and Coaching staff are guilty of failure

Cheers and I've heard all the rumours and been told alleged "inside" info but I'd like some official news from the club, something to get us bought into next year as the terraces are pretty low right now and I can only see the crowds going the wrong way.

I really cant see us announcing signings for next season before this season finishes.

Kain and Finn would be good with Murrell and a good hooker especially given they know exactly how each other plays.

In the past, we've usually waited for a teams season to have finished before announcing signing players from them.

Handforth hasn't been upto the standard we'd expect. We all praised Rhino for his comments along the lines of "I want players here who want to play for Halifax". So if Tiger feels he can do better elsewhere then its time to say goodbye.

Unfortuntaley. as we have a small squad. we can't sit him and the others who are leaving in the stands for the rest of the season.
