I think Fax are in a fortunate position in that some of their natural rivals for the signings they are rumoured to be making either are set at that position or, in the case of Leigh, seem to be in a bit of disarray.
Walmsley might have been on Fev's radar but with Gale and Hall already signed on and a Luke Briscoe return possibly on the cards there wasn't really an obvious opening for him, plus he was absolutely beasted by Gale twice on the only occasion we played Whitehaven so perhaps didn't impress us as much as others (though he still played well and is obviously very talented).
Equally Fev have Connor Jones and are heavily linked with Mattie Wildie so Kyle Wood wouldn't make much sense for us, likewise Keyes with Holmes and Chisholm signed up and Nu Brown still not announced by any SL club.
It does seem that Fax have managed to be more proactive than the likes of York (who have been quiet so far at least in terms of rumoured signings) and Bradford though so depending on what approach Beaumont takes they could be the main challengers to Fev or Toulouse next year, although the rumoured signings for Newcastle also look strong. The only thing I would say is that I thought signing Worthington, Robinson, Harris, Murray and Springer prior to this season would see Fax take a big step forward but that didn't really seem to happen. The players rumoured for next year do look much better though
