So we have a short turnaround for this weeks game against the high flying Eagles. Talking about ticket prices i have got mine online for 18 quid to stand and 12 for the old fella. Team wise Tibbs drops of the squad it looked like he had a hia last week and Cory johnston returns. Widdop went to centre last week it will be interesting who gets picked there on friday because for me we look weak in that position. Score wise they are clear favourites for me but if we can somehow shore up our defense we can score points 28-30 to the Panthers.

We need to start stringing some wins together. Let’s hope we can start that by beating the Eagles. We are capable of it but it has to be from the start of the game. The Eagles played on Sunday too so they are in the same boat as regards to rest days

I have no idea about the multiple topics that have come up just take your pick which to post on.

On this season's form I can't see owt but a defeat. On't other hand it wouldn't surprise me if we came away with the points. Eagles 20v20 Fax!

Great to see Cory back in the squad and hopefully he'll play. AOB makes a huge difference and his constant darts and quick distribution tires out the defence, it's no coincidence both Barrow and Whitehaven faded in the last 20 mins so having Cory switching with AOB will make an even bigger impact.

Corey was excellent against Donny...but it's such a nonsense system...why on earth wasnt he here last week ?

If start like we have in the last few games another long day at the office is on the cards and Eagles are a big side so our pack will need to be up for it and not get rolled.
If we can stay in the game our attack might just give us a chance.

Eagles should beat us comfortably so going for a Fax win by 4.

Because he's a Leeds player despite being on a season long loan with Halifax, oh! and Bradford. Lindley Liberal Club, Guinness Mmm!

Do agree but feeling more apathatic as the season goes..seem to be losing our best players and signing Dewsbury dross to replace them...are we putting off the inevitable for a year.As a lot predicted the Widdop signing has drained the pot and upset the applecart...

Fully agree about the apathy feeling but as regards Widdop the feeling on here was that the money spent on signing him should have and would have been better spent on a couple of other players in areas that were more important such as a decent prop or centre being mentioned.

In that scenario the money would still have been spent for the 2024 season and obviously would not have still been in the bank for the 2025 season for player retention or anything else.

Also on Widdop my information is that it was "one" then director who pushed for it and sorted out much of the package / finances etc just to get GW onboard as a one off deal and the money raised to do so might not have even been available in a broader sense anyway.

In either case the simple fact is, past, present and in the future financially there are several clubs who are prepared to pay what we can't and the difference in certain cases is huge.

Regarding any new signings it will be of Finns decisions trying to get the best he can with what he has to work with and he’s picked the team for this year resulting in any disruptions caused by his selections.

Regardless of where the money came from to finance the Widdop deal in 2024 my real concern now is the rumour he's been resigned for 2025. If that is the case someone wants their bumps feeling!

Well if it's from sponsor money we wouldnt get ordinarily and we've managed to pizz off our proper halfbacks..

Heard the same rumour but on a lot less and he’s not sure on going round again and even if he does signing him for this season isn’t the reason we can’t afford to keep Keyes as some were alluding to.

If you mean pizzed off because of money.
Joe was happy to be here and wanted to stay as was LJ.
Louis was more unsettled if Joe wasn’t going to be staying than anything else.
With that in mind in an effort to try and keep them what many might not know is the very week / time Gledhill was saying he had signed for Bradford the club and Keyes we’re still meeting to try and sort something out.
As Finn alluded to a good / improved offer was made but it still fell well short of what Bradford were putting on the table and he’s going for one reason and that’s because he can’t turn down the wage rise ( which is substantial.)
If you mean pizzed of because of not playing JWH, LJ and JK at 1,6 and 7 it’s Finn whose picked the team trying to find the best spine.
