This is the best news for Halifax in a long time.

Also Ridyard is being released from Fev as they sign Penky at the age of 36.

Could be some squad if we can acquire ridyard as well.

Atlast, I was told last week but threatened with disembowldment if I told.

not today he doesnt......

This new signing also seems to rule out any chance of signing ridyard

And QLT for that matter....

True, but it fills the gap that everybody seems to have been shouting about.

Let’s hope he goes well.

Doesn't he?

cant say i recall seeing the White play BUT i think i do recall him being mentioned as decent.

Will hold judgment until I've watched him in a fax shirt. Could quite possibly be a younger more rounded 7 that would fit the bill.

is this QLT news b*llocks or simply yet to be confirmed by the club?

A chap at work has told me that we signed QLT a while ago but had to keep it quite, on the QLT as it were. I haven't seen anything from the club confirming it though. Nice to see us signing a young half back. Welcome to the club Ben.

Good news yes heard it was coming. Then he nearly wasn't but it's sorted now apparently At least we will score try's with him on the pitch. Just need Ridyard and we have a team with the bar a bit higher

Does this mean we won't be signing Scott Grix?





QLT obvioulsy very good at this level and White possible long term replacement for Muzza. Would still love to get Ridyard though.

Out of the 2 i'd certainly take QLT at FB than Ridyard at half.

In dreamland - if we could get Ridyard, where would you put him?

Him and murrell would be a poor partnership, too similar/too slow

Cant leave Murrell out of the team.

spell Murrell at 13 with Grix...??

I still think Ridyard will end up back at Leigh to be honest (if he moves)

It’s in the RL papers and it’s QLT’s agent that is quoted saying he wanted to come back to Halifax over Widnes and the other offers.

True but why say we needed competition at full back with the White signing unless we got the official announcement mixed up....

Marshalls first job on any new signing is to tell us he can play in any position apart from the one that he specialises in.

Of course silly me...

Was hoping it was QLT as he was class during his time with us. Do remember White from couple of seasons back and he looked decent. We are all hoping for pivot who can play fullback and cover Murrell and Jonno and we have finally got one.

2 great signings in our league - we look like we will have a pacier backline next season

Well in 24hrs that has certainly brightened us all up

Fax need to wake up and get with it. We've had a good few season's and need to build on it now. We have got to excite the fans to buy season tickets because we are in the entertainment business, not just a sport anymore. Spend some brass and get a name in. Up The Fax! The Grove, shuddersfield. Hawkshead Citra Tetinang Pale 5.0%. Mmm!

Hudds shay yes do think a wake up call is due. 2 cracking signings but the management of the good news can only be described as a lack lustre dogs dinner. It's like they have been caught by surprise on something they are entirely in control of . That said the 2 signings suddenly put a differing positive prospective on the coming season. I can't help but think LS28 ought to be embedded in the new bod and get them up to speed on promotion of the club golden opportunity to push ticket sales today missed by a country mile .

all the QLT haters from when he left now changing their thoughts methinks.

Ben White is a very good player and stood out at Swinton with the likes of Robinson and Liam Marshall when he dual reg'd from Wigan. IIRC he might have also played hooker. Shame we don't still have Ben Black, it would have been grrrreat having Ben Black and Ben White in the halves, eh? The Courier have announced QLT, so must be true! https://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/sport/ ... -1-9429621

The problem was it was meant to be the big announcement at the end of season do but obviously got leaked pretty much leaving them with little choice although I agree more could have been made of it.

One been one of the guys that has helped pay for him.
