fantastic news. Macca was one of our best forwards by far last season and if we add a couple more in the same mould as him their wont be many teams fancying playing against our pack. If we can just keep hold of Jacob Fairbank now and as i say a couple more big additions we will be returning to the same sort of packs when karl himself was in our front row and with the backs signed so far 2012 cant come soon enough!

You need a big pack to do well in this league, which was noted by a few of us pre season and it was no surprise we struggled really, you only have to look at the way Sheffield dominated us and its also the main reason Leigh have done so well this season. We are looking pretty good and theres more good signings to come.

for Forwards aren't we looking similar still?

We have Dane Manning but he's more of an outwide attacking second rower, like chandler, we still haven't got any size improvement yet IMO.

fingers crossed we will have soon.

I think KH has it in hand. I guess a lot of it will depend on Tonks decision.

Macca signing is tremendous news.
We love him at Fax.
Last year he did much of the hard impact work on his own, just imagine if we can get another 3 big guys like him.
With 2 on the field and 2 on the bench to rotate we will always have that physical enforcer factor.
Everyone benefits, the second row can add the impact in a different way by being equally aggressive pound for pound with the added mobility.
Your 6,7 and 9 triangle that KH mentioned then have a platform to do their stuff which brings the backline into play in the right areas of the field.
The pieces are being put in place with some gusto and it is looking good.

On the big guys I think we still have Dom Mallonies registration with the RFL don't we, sort off first option on his service should he return to the UK and want to play again??

Brilliant news, Mr A is a legend. Best impact prop in the league.
Hope he reads these posts and feels at home with Fax.

Great news now lets get some more big players in around him

Re: AIZUE Signs! : Sat Sep 24, 2011 9:33 pm  

Great news. Never a backward bstep from Macca

Re: AIZUE Signs! : Sat Sep 24, 2011 9:40 pm  

When he first signed he was very poor but he has turned that around and he has shown true commitment by making the trek from Hull and he is now a Legend for me. Some players just need some time and for me Aizue is a leader and somebody who can pick the team and fans up with his actions and not his words. I hope we get 3 other hard running Props so that Aizue doesnt get burned out. I am sure he will improve even more under Karl which is frightening!
