This will be more of a mental battle than ever I think and we need to be 100% confident because if both teams play to their best, Fax stride out comfortable winners.

I have been critical of Grix but this ia where he will earn his corn. He needs to instill ABSOLUTE belief in the whole team and one Grix plan I do fully ascribe to is LF taking the line on more which he is now doing and the lad is class!

LF?
why is jacob gannon on the fax official site as first team player.?

I think he means LJ. As for Gannon I don’t know. He came
On a months loan back in March. Have we signed him permanently on the quiet? It is odd that someone on a loan is put up on the first team personnel page. Adam O’Brian is on and he only came last week.

Crooks will beef up the defence at the edges as it's looked somewhat flimsy after the departure of Worthington. Is he a left centre, if so he will provide the bullets for Walmsley .... just think of the damage he could do with a quality centre inside. Would be the best centre/winger partnership we've had since Austin/Preston!

Exactly what we need, a specialist centre. Nice to see us adding a bit of quality to the team for the back end of the season.

See Keighley have replaced him with Junior Sa'u-now that would have been an exciting signing..
Could we be in for Lee Gaskell if Keyes not back this season..?

Re: Bradford vs Halifax : Fri Jun 16, 2023 3:30 pm  

I am not too sure that Sau at the the age of 36 would be a better signing. At this stage of both there careers i would choose Crooks. As for Gaskell it will be interesting where he ends up. In the article about crooks joining it is said by i think Steve Lambert in his words and hopefully more to come so we are still looking to add to the squad and i would much prefer a halfback pairing of Louis and Gaskell then to have Wood playing there.

Yes agreed,but I’m not looking further than this season at this stage.

Re: Bradford vs Halifax : Fri Jun 16, 2023 7:10 pm  

Surprise. Fev and Sadfud sniffing around Gaskell. I never really rated him maybe that's why Wakey let him go?

Not hard to state how big today's game is given the results above us. A loss would leave us 4 points adrift of the teams above us and no matter what even Grix's biggest fans would say Im sure if before the season if people had said we would be 6 at this point and in danger of missing the playoffs, they would not have been happy. A win though, which we are more than capable of, puts us well amongst it and still in with a realistic chance of 2nd place.

Crooks starting the game at centre

Re: Bradford vs Halifax : Sun Jun 18, 2023 1:39 pm  

I'll be delighted to be proved wrong but disappointed Crooks after just a couple of days training comes straight into the side at the expense of McComb and Maizen
