Now we all know is his day Rhino was a master, and he has come out and said already that he will be going for 'size'

who do we want and why?

Penky is everyones obvious start at hooker.

Retaining Aizue would be top of my list, but by the sounds of it hes off elsewhere. Would love us to sign Fairbank, but i doubt hes for sale.

Do we need 3 hookers in the 17? Penky has proved he can do the full 80 mins and bBob we know can cover Stand Off as well

No space for Fairbank? A certain Mr Fisher would be a welcome addition, however I dont think we can carry Penky, Bob and Fisher in the same squad given Rhino is looking for a core squad of 19/20 experienced heads (http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/sport/halifax-rlfc/haley_signs_up_for_2012_fax_side_taking_shape_nicely_1_3796578)

Matt James wouldn't be a bad addition imo

AGREED instead of Thackery. I thought he had signed for a French side

8 - Cherryholme
9 - Beswick
10 - Matty James
11 - Bannister
12 - Manning
13 - Barlow

14 - Penky
15 - Maloney
16 - Aizue
17 - Fairbank (If we could get him) If not, then some other fringe Super Leaguer!

We definitely need another solid and consistent performer like Maloney though.

Re: Forwards 2012 : Thu Sep 22, 2011 4:12 pm  

Would love to see Maloney back, hes sure wont have picked up any bad habbits in Oz!

i can see us retaining fairbank on DR, because i still dont think hell be in hudds 1st team next year, but they sure wont want rid permanantly, if we could get him on loan for year that would be ideal!

also Luisi is a good call from barra.

Rhino will be after some scary props

I'm sure i heard somewhere we were cutting the player budget even more this year to improve the youth side if the club, if i am right in saying this, why would Maloney join us when he turned down the offer last year, the offer isnt going to be worth any more money to him
