Murrell is a very good motivator. We would be like a rudderless ship without him, unless we could afford a genuine top class stand off, which there aren't many about. Look at Bradfords troubles in recruiting any decent half backs over the last 2 years.

Always rated Brambani. Teams he's played for always done well.

Agree re the half back and Brambani certainly (eventually) improved after his stint with us.

Can't help but think there is a good Aussie half-back needing a stint in the UK that could do a job? I like Muzza just too slow and out of shape for the job he does - if he took it seriously he could be outstanding in my opinion but he chooses a slower pace and therefore not SL. Strange choice for a sportsman but hey ho.

You're lucky. We've only got three players.

Who is Fax's main signing?

Re: 2017 Squad : Sat Oct 15, 2016 8:25 pm  

Grady a quality signing for next season. Im missing something with Ed Barber though, decent going forward but defence flimsier than a wet rich tea biscuit.

Whats the criteria for that?

Mr Compton. There is no money for a "main" signing.

We are a mid-table side at best next season.
Grady is a mid-table player.

Mark my words, if we have an injury crisis next year, I will just be grateful to stay in this league.

The Championship next year will be a very competitive league with HKR and Toulouse competing, I think Toulouse will be very hard to beat in France and be a good team away, HKR will be striving to finish top and teams like Bradford, Fev,Batley, Sheff ,even Dews will be hard to beat, Fax can't afford to watch the RL world go by,they must compete or be overtaken.
Grady is a big unit but not fast, a bit like Pryce from Dews,I was hoping to see a couple of experienced signings to take Fax forward next season, for Rich to do a job he needs decent tools,with the current squad he hasn't got them,pity as a strong Fax is needed in any League.

6 trys in 28 games is not good for a centre

Hooli ,why people think Grady is a quality signing is beyond me, he did nothing at Widnes which is why they released him,and did OK at Dews, but his tries to games ratio isn't good, as I said he is a big lad though.
