In this weeks press the only thing mentioned apart from what we allready know was a follow on from the lad joining from Salford was that Fax could have some additional younger players coming on board in the future.

Tom Saxton has been mentioned before and I heard it could be linked to Rovers looking to go full time and Tommy not really wanting that.

This was before the recent developmnets with the new proposals and with that being on hold it could have an effect.

i remember fax going full time and mark preston not wanting to. so he was unloaded, never understood why as if he stayed part time he would still have left them for dead.

Your right about Mark but Wigans loss was our gain, on his day he was worth the admition money on his own.

Who will ever forget Wakey away when he put Warren Wilson in or HKR at home with his in and out weaving run across the field, dummy to Bentley and in at the corner.

I believe he came onboard for a fee of £50,000 in the days of the big transfer fee's and I think he was replaced by David Myers.

It was to do with him and his proffesion outside of the game that sparked it off, was he a solicitor or training to be one or something like that back in Poulton- le-Fylde whom he had played union for??

Saxton staying at Fev although he knows he won't be first choice winger. As for full time I don't think so how can championship clubs afford that with a squad of 28

Got the league weekly today and it mentions we may have missed out on the former Warrington half back Will Milner who now looks like going to Huddersfield on a 1 year deal.

It is mentioned that Fax have offered trials to Josh Casey who has been released by Bradford Bulls.

Both these young men were offered scholarships at Halifax in their early teens & declined the offer to go to Bradford Bulls, i wish them both well in their futures.

Also, didn't TA mention a new sponsor being announced soon (or did I dream it?)
