It will be if he sorts his transport out

Been a great player for us over the years and can still do a job lower down this league. But im surprised Bastian didn't get rid during pre season. Maybe he was waiting foe Etu to arrive. He hardly beat a man last season and gone are the days he would make a few 30 - 40 yard runs per game. we were saying that he would be replaced for this season

Dont think its a case of Bastian just wanting his own team like jtfev says, think its more a case of him looking at the team and seeing where we can improve. We have brought in Chisolm and etu and have probably the leagues best winger in sharp, so Saxton's games with us will be very limited.

Surprised Fax are interested in him but If Warrancy is injured maybe just want cover for a few weeks.

Always been class against us! Untackleable if that's a word!

Frustrating when he runs across the line bumping off defenders.

How old is he anyway? I hope he's here for the year!

Charlie is a big fan of Saxton , he always seems to give us problems , a good signing for you , I hope Halifaxjohn and Bentleyman are happy?

hes 30, but yeah, seemed to have lost some of that last season. Noble was laughing about how no one could tackle him in the NRC final against you lot. just seemed different player last season

There's always one!

There are a lot of unhappy Fev fans because of this signing, but guess we have to move on as does Tommy. He will be a good signing for Fax whether this is for a month or longer. However if it did turn out that Tommy sill has the oppotunity to play again in a Fev shirt I wouldn't be disapointed.

I would guess that Bastian believes he has better wingers at Fev than Tommy, and having never been a coach who am I to disagree.

Yeah theres always one like yourself who thinks they know everything.

Saxton leaving Fev has split opinion amongst the fans just like Finn has. Many think he can still do a job and are gutted he looks to be leaving, many like myself arn't bothered.

Its my opinion that we have had the best of him and I like the fans I go to the matches with I thought last season would have been his last for us.

To be Honest I think a lot of fev fans who dont like change are just using it as a stick to hit Bastian with

If you fax fans think you have signed one of the leagues best wingers then fair enough

If Saxton had signed for London or Bradford I Could see your opinion being different.

I see it a lot like when Barlow signed for Fev last year.

SAMs ripping it up at Leigh by all accounts.

It may give Tommy a new lease of life having a change with a different set up.
A month on loan suits all parties and if it works out he might like what he sees and come up with the goods on the field and stay a bit longer, if not nothing lost for either clubs or player.
I know I will be looking forward to seeing him in a fax shirt and giving him some support, as will others, he will be well received at Fax.

Most of the Fev fans moaning about tommy leaving are the ones who have probably never played a game in there lives, and dont want him to leave because he talks to them in the clubhouse. My opinion is Tommy is a great bloke well liked but his best days at Fev are behind him and he wouldnt of got many games in this year. But i do think a change of coach / scenery / team mates might just give him his spark back and i really hope it does. I like the bloke amount of times iv been driving the minibus and got in the ground early watching them warm up while the lads get smashed in the pub and every time Tommy came over to have 5 mins. He never made much sense lol but i hope it works out for him

What did he say to make you say that?

He was probably after a lift home in your minibus Suggy LOL

"can always do a job lower down this league"....condensing t**t.

condescending - LOL (but correct!!)

Not really. I finished off that post by saying i was surprised Halifax were interested, meaning I thought you would be looking for better than Tommy. by lower league I meant lower than Fax

A few have said that maybe a new club and coach will do him good, maybe it will. But it wont do anything for the yard or 2 of pace he has lost and his loss of ability to fend of defenders, which he was fantastic at.

never meant to be condescending and certainly not "condensing"

Fair enough. Summat to do with ale in Briggus 'spoons!

Understand what you were saying unfortunately some don't but hey, that might be their problem.

Castle Hotel, Conwy, Welsh scrumpy, 7.8%
Mmmmm.
Back for the game tomorrow.

Not if you have too much of that you won't..enjoy

Do doubt he'll score a fecking hatrick tomorrow and make yards allover the pitch

07.48 up bright eyes and bushy tailed.

Did Karl not fancy running Jarrod Ward rather than bringing in Tommy, after describing him as "big, strong & aggressive, reminds me of Michael Hancock" or something similar pre-season ? And trialling him in the friendlies.


Just a thought that's all.

Crossed my mind as well, I think Jarrod is still onboard, did he not recently choose not to go to Swinton and stay and take his chances at Fax.

I think it fits in with KH saying there's no time to mess around so has gone for proven experience with Tommy for the month which will give him some cover and time to look at Jarrod and with Rob recovering quicker than first thought maybe plays a part.

WELSH Scrumpy? That's a new 'un!icon_biggrin.gif
