Gutted for the big lad. Absolute points machine and a massive loss to any team. Was disappointed when he left Leigh as he was in great form last year. Get well soon Mick!

Mick may be a prolific points scorer, but we're not short on them.

The squad was more or less complete when it became apparent Nanyn was available, An offer was made which he took, and IIRC that was curtains for Bannister.

Yes its a blow for Mick on a personal level, but its not the end of the world as far as Halifax are concerned. We have players who can kick goals and we have Centre's who can score tries.

we have 'a' centre that can score tries.

none of the others that are likely now to play right centre are actually centres.

Reittie is an winger(or for some a second row), Patto is a winger, Haley is wing/fb, heaton is fb, Fieldhouse is a fb. have i missed anyone?

this was the 1st season in years we were going to have 2 specialist centres.

we will still be ok though.

just get the ball to Tyrer in space and we will score! that lad is CLASS!

Re: Nanyn : Thu Feb 09, 2012 12:36 pm  

Heaton only moved to full back at oldham to cover a weakness there. He is a centre

Patto is a better centre

And both of them are 100 times better then mick at tackling.

Gutted for him but i was gutted when we signed him

Re: Nanyn : Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:27 pm  

Gutted for any player to get a serious injury; wishing Mick a full recovery; think we should be looking for a DR to replace him. Get someone young and hungry to impress, similar to how dudson impressed us when we had him for a period.

You also have a pretty good Centre in the reserves called Chris Holroyde.

Re: Nanyn : Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:11 pm  

we signed Heaton after he performed very well at Oldham playing fullback, so we signed him as a fb (remember miles greewood didnt stay, and we dont have shad anymore.)

Patto is a winger. yes he can play centre, but so can Sam Barlow and Morrison, but you wouldnt play them there id you had a specialist centre.

Not entirely sure why you are saying this to me!

I was referring to the poster above slagging off Mick.
