i bet Jacob fairbank is happy with this news?
he's a decent player, but why are we not giving our fringe players like Roberts, Fairbank, Learmouth a chance to prove themselves?

Now that sounds interesting. Let's hope it's along the lines of Luke O'Donnell barking mad.

When coming through I thought Cox had it all to be very very good, he just seems stupid and has had moments of letting himself down. He's a player that i'd love to keep and see him hit his potential but as has been said he may need a move to do that. Certainly got the talent.

We've been rumoured to be signing big Eorl for the last ten seasons. God knows who makes it up. Hope he sees his career out with you, good bloke and a great pro, always took me as a bit too nice To really hit the heights and step up from being really good to being a great.

Fairbank learmonth and Mason are all currently out on loan. Fairbank at halifax the other two at oldham. Personally don't think Fairbank has made the necessary improvements we need to make first team. Yet.

Roberts has been playing for Oldham, like some of the other senior players, cant have impressed enough to get in.

got the chance as bradford because they only had about 17 fit players !

have you seen much of cox at all?

Cox reminds me alot of Mullally, similar type of players, cox might actually be better!

anyway lets hope he proves a hit

I'm ok with this. If baloo and coaching staff don't think that current crop are showing enough whether out on loan or in training etc and they want to freshen things up then all good. Always impressed me whenever I've seen him. As mentioned, looks similar type to Mullally. Could add real size to 2nd row or a bit of impact from bench.

He has plenty of potential, has had problems since his accident. A month working with your squad will do him good.

So how does this stupidity manifest itself?

Doesn't matter why he got the chance. The thing is, he took it.

I've seen Cox against us and on the telly. Where he hasn't done anything wrong, nor has he stood out.

I have nothing against Cox and don't think he's a bad player. I would just rather give our own lads a shot.

Fairbank broken ankle

another reason to bring cox in
