Fair points Nozzy, but can I just point out that we lost Jesse for half the league progreamme last year after he returned to PNG. Sam Smeaton (who had a belter of a game v Leigh) arguably gave better service than JJP!!
But Briggsy will be a loss. Daryl is quoted this morning as actively looking to sign a quality replacement and with a few bob in his pocket his job should be a touch easier.
I've got over the loss now - onwards and upwards eh!!

Given last season its hopefully onwards and downwards for Fev

Looks like tom hemingway is turning out at post office road this sat. I don't know much about him, how do you lot rate him ?

I can see why fans of fevs opponents might rejoice as their clubs will have to face a team without Briggsy and that's fair enough. But Daryl is looking to plug the gap with quality so hopefully we will still be the business.
Like I've said may times, I've watched Fev far too oft to make wild presumptious predictions - what will be will be!

Although Hemingway come down from SL this level seems to suite him best. When he was on loan to us he went well & he should do well for you too.

He's not a Kyle Briggs

DP is looking for a hooker so perhaps this is where Hemingway would play, if at all.

Exactly it's one thing having money / cap available it's another thing finding players to fill the space... There's a reason Bulls paid bug money for Briggs & Hull offering a lot for Sammut!

i didnt rate him at all when he was at leigh tbh but in his defence he was playing in a bad team with players he didnt get time to know and i think watto was the main half back and it meant hemingway wasnt able to do his stuff. He may go well in a good fev side but one thing's for sure, he's nowhere near as good as briggs

Could Rooney be about to go back to Fev?

heqvens no!

do not rate him at all, was poor when at fax on loan.

Agreed. Different class altogether though I don't think we saw the best of Ernest at Leigh.

FFS Hemingway is not Kyle briggs replacement. He is on a months trial at his request, before briggs left.

Andy Kain is first choice at the moment for the 6 Shirt. With us looking to sign another hooker. And to be honest Andy Kain is as good as most 6s in the league if not better so I have no problem with that. My hope is that we get Bob Beswick from fax at hooker, then its a case of jobs a good en. Kyle leaving will also free up a place on the community team as he was working there so potential for new recruit to earn some extra coin there.
