Good signing. You found the wonga.
I've said to a couple of your lads what I think on that score - and at a time before we knew where he'd signed.
That kind of wonga is bonkers for our level. Fair play - he's signed for Fax. But at a time when I thought we might sneak him I have said that I would NOT pay what is being offered by Fev or Fax. Barmy money for this level. Absolutely bonkers.

I don't think you're going to convince many of us that this is a bad move by the club...

bloody hell, he's a right signing for you, that I'd never dispute and it's no secret we were in for him at all. 15-love to fax.

My concern is the amount of wonga that's been offered to keep/entice a player. The amount of wonga thrown about here is ridiculous given the margins clubs at this level operate. mind bogglingly daft in my opinion (which I have stated to some of you guys when I thought he might sign for Fev)!

However, it may be that your club value his worth that much in which case c'est la vie. Merde happens!!! We move on.

We have a sugar daddy too we don't don't like to announce it because most of our cash comes from the gates and sponsors help us get profit, we never ask the sugar daddy he asks us ... Fax business plan always improving and this shows we are no only cleaver in business but strong as a whole town!!

He he thankyou Mr Harvey... Penky will sign for another year I think then he will retire at his home club Leigh.

Do you have a Penky poster on your bedroom wall .

He doesn't need a penky poster. He can see him every Sunday. In blue and white. A sight to behold.

Maybe we should all chip in and buy you Leigh guys a penky poster - here's what you could have had!

Rotheram Fev Fan I would imagine is probably right to raise an eyebrow on the contract terms (whatever they may be rumoured, fact or fiction) but to me it makes financial sense for both the player and HRLFC .

Fax tie him up on contract for two years which ticks the club box of retention and developing local players. In fact that statement of intent to "look after" and retain local talent in itself may attract others back. Lets face it we havent really done well on that front over previous years with the drain of talent to anyone but their home team.

Hopefully under the guidance of KH, Sam will be the more mature finished product by the end of next season . If SL is being blocked to Fax then it may tempt one of the better SL clubs to make the club an offer for Sam. Everyones a winner and Sam would go with our blessing rather than go to a struggling SL club ie next years wooden spoon hot contestants; Castleford.

Alternatively if SL starts to look on the cards for fax we might actually be building a team over the next 2 years capable of moving up into SL without the wholesale changes Widness carried out.(Barlow, Ambler, Robinson , Tonks wouldnt be a bad front row set up at any level) ie actually build your team ready for whats ahead rather than try and change the whole team in 3 months. Now that does seem to be a club with a game plan that the RFL should take note of.......team building and finacial planning linked to a strategic aim!

another two local lads signed up, well done fax.

The RFL take no notice of anything logical or sensible

Wow - amazing how many people know the intricacies of an employment contract.

Massive massive yawn.
