Nobody about that is better than what we have and in our price range.

Re: New Signings : Tue Oct 24, 2017 8:58 pm  

Absolutely no point in any more signings if you slot say any 3 of the following in the fax team

Trueman
Springer
Gary Lo
Gill
Brandon Douglas
Ellis
Minikin


Have a play around with the options!

The only gap I can see is competition at Hooker

Whether people like DR or not it looks like it's definitely our player signing solution for next season.

Quote from RM.
''We have met with both Daryl Powell and Steve Gill and have formed a strong partnership already. We have some exciting plans regarding players/coaches and engaging with both sets of supporters. This really excites me and my staff and will further develop our skills, working with world class coaches and players.”

“The partnership will run not just with game by game loans but season-long loans. These arrangements are beneficial to us as we get the players all year and can work with them full time, similar to the deal with Brandon Douglas which worked very well for us last season.”

Looking like Fax lads selected as first option but if they are out of form then reserves and/or then Cas players.

Quote from RM....
If we go down the Dual Reg route, what does that say to my reserve team players?

DR with Cas when we need it.

Aye.... we all like DR don't we?

Bit worried by the lack of signings by Fax, despite losing several players and already being short on attacking options and game breakers. The new additions to the board have all talked about the exciting times ahead, but this close season could be the worst we have had in terms of generating excitement or interest for fans and getting them to buy season tickets. Yes, there is not a lot of talent available, but what there is, is either not in our price range or we aren’t even interested. It looks like we are going to rely on Casifax, but if our new DR partners struggle with injuries and need to recall players, we will be lucky to put a 13 together.

Its October. Calm down.

Another quality player signed for our rivals in Ridyard. He may be coming to end of his career but still is class halfback at championship level.

"Next year, all season ticket sales will go directly into Richard Marshall’s playing budget, helping our head coach to build a side made up of the very best players available."

Confused.com if we're not actively looking for new players to bolster the squad?
