After seeing Dickens get put on his backside by Manning in the NRC final, he has gone down in my estimation. Can't wait for the next match between Fax 'v' Fev!



Just going to watch the game again but just two parts - Manning owning Dickens and the 'ave it' drop goal.



Happy days...

Crossley really has impressed me this season when I've seen him and I know a few others have mentioned him on here.



But overall it's Karl who knows who he wants to bring in.

Somebody told me a few months ago that we had signed Crossley for next year. I think we have more than adequate cover if we re-sign Tonks and Barlow.



Tonks and Ambler starting, with Barlow and Crossley off the bench?

I think Crossley has recently broken his collar bone which is bad luck for the lad.



Couple of big lads at Batley who have being going well but i don't know if they are available to offers.

Azuie in my opinion has played superb this year. Tackles well, quick play the ball lower error ratio from previous seasons.



We should be OK in the forwards next year.

We need a little competition at 6 and 7.

Alex walmsley of batley looks a great prospect, keegan hirst also at batley looks a good player!

Keith Senior was at the match last Sunday.

Judging by his size these days it might be him?

Those developments are going to be interesting in the next few weeks

Yes well played to Gannon this year but he has had the support of a strong pack around him so deffo time up the end of this season so he retires head and body in good health!



I think if we secure Tonks plus from the rumours a prop from Dewsbury we are there or thereabouts (dependant upon Sam B) Macca is probably also on his last year; certainly on the current contract rate. (He does though probably have another year left in him on a play and pay basis)



Agree with the comment above about cover and competition at Half back. I accept that you can rotate Penky,Ashall,Handforth,Thackery,Bowman if injuries occurr short term but there doesnt feel to be many options available,or actual competition for their places. Young Ashall at Swinton doesnt look a bad player from what I have seen of him and would be a relatively afordable low risk option IMO.

I know he is probably a 2nd row or loose forward, but Jones at Cas is looking to go part time.

He's been down to quite a few games including the under 18's, big mate of Lukes.
