Iain Morrisson signs for another year.

Just tweeted it.

If the terms are right which will probably be pay as you play, game by game something similar to Jimbo.

Really hope he has a good injury free run all the best Morro.

Terrific news and for two years cheers Sam and I agree Bowman is more a centre than stand off

I find that odd TBH.
If that was the case why did we bring so many three-quarters in this year to compliment the one's we already had ?
I think it's more a case of Rhino knows who his 1st pick halves are and Bowman can't nose in front of either in the near future, I think the lad has got a top rugby brain on him and I could imagine him playing loose forward at a push. I did think for most of the year it was a shoot out between Bowman & Casey for the final bench spot, Casey seems to be struggling with where he's picked positionally. The loss at Batley was unfortunally for the lad not his best game in a Fax shirt while filling in at centre, he also has the attributes to play 2nd row like last week or loose forward in my opinion. I might be wrong, but when we brought him in I'm sure there were plans to run him at dummy half which haven't really developed.
Both very talented young players who I hope can nail a place in the starting 17 regularly and continue their development at Fax.

Will reserve judgement on Ian Morrison if he has signed......just hope its play and pay basis and he gets more luck on the injury front than recent years.
I think his last game was the away win at Post office road when he injured his knee early on but carried on. Cant fault his committment but he relies on fitness rather than bulk. Can his body keep taking the punishment against bigger oponents?.....well lets get him back playing and see.

I completely agree. I think Bowman is a terrifically underrated player. I think he has the attributes to make a great 13 but it's so pleasing to see a Halifax lad playing for his local team saying he doesn't mind where he plays as long as he wears the blue and white of Fax.

Since the Batley away game Barlow has been outstanding. It's become a case of Barlow plays but where as he can play 8, 12, 13 or an impact player off the bench like in Blackpool. I genuinely thought he was off to SL and I wouldn't have blamed him but I'm chuffed to bits he's re-signed.
