Replacing the legend Gannon : Mon Aug 06, 2012 8:34 pm  

With big Jim definately retiring at the end of this season, who would you see as a replacement for him?

Would think this will be a big gap to fill but looking at the players Karl has brought in so far feel we will find someone but can't think of anyone to hand.

Jims boots are certainly going to take some filling!!

The guy has been a rock for Fax over his 2 spells, and again, I am struggling to think of anyone to take Jims' spot

Tonka, perhaps?

Good point. But also has Aizue got another season in him. He must be 35 at least.

Suppose assuming we keep the players we have now this leaves:

Ambler, Barlow, Hesketh, Tonks and Aizue.

Suppose Morrison and Robinson could play both back row and prop.

Maybe we could convince him to do another season. He's playing fantastic at the moment. Surely he could do next year aswell...

Anthony England, Stu Dickens, Nathan Freer, Ryan Hepworth, Jack Howieson. Mitch Stringer.

Club should ring Powell and Aston for their opinions on which one of these could do a job for the Fax.

Ha ha. Wouldn't mind Anthony England - he's impressed me when I've seen him.

Also, wouldn't mind Gil Dudson back from Wigan. Dual reg for next year would be good to get his fitness back.

Isn't he a Dewsbury prop? Can't remember him standing out when we played them.
