I like to base my judgement on how player has played for the season on two games too.

Might be wrong, often am, memory going. Jackie Gamble, Cas to us £6000, was due to play first game away at Salford, we turned up he didn't never played for us think he disapeared.
Enter club historian Andrew Hardcastle.

We signed that Seu-Seu chap and he certainly never turned up! :'(

And one that did play for us, but nearly didn't
Jackie Pycroft, Batley scrum half, Batley want'd £2000, Fax couldn't afford it,
So, Fax players clubed together and Fax bought him.
Probably the best scrum half who never had an international cap.
Showing my age?

I think his first game for us was supposed to be at Hull FC, when we saw he was in front of us at the chip van we realised he wasn't playing that day.
That was the day Woodie got arrested, again.
Could be a good new thread, where is Woodie?

Aha Woodie and his mates . I see him sometimes walking down Queens rd . He hasn't changed since his days at Thrum Hall,

Where does he go now?

So he still a complete tool then.

DUPE POST

Bang on the money faxcar, it's a just bit of an understatement to say he hasn't set the world on fire for us.

We have been trying to turn him in to a hooker and TBH it hasn't really worked. His passing from dummy half is far too slow and nothing like accurate enough, we could have had Cooper Cronk at HB this season and even he'd have looked poor. Simply because the ball would have taken so long to get to him that he'd be surrounded by 3 defenders as soon as he caught it, that is what has happened to Blacky this season and TBF Moore too.

I can only think that KH is looking to play him and Finn as a HB pairing, the only trouble with that is, he seems to have lost that yard of pace he had 2 season ago, but maybe that's down to fact he's doing lots of defensive work playing at hooker?

Some of the Fev lot are laughing, but if the rumours are true, they have signed Keegan Hirst, George Flanagan, Gareth Moore and Liam Walmsley from us, why on earth you'd swap Moore for Finn seems just plain crazy? Keegan Hirst needs velcro gloves, he can't hold the ball in any sort of impact and probably the worst prop in the division, George Flanagan great darting from dummy half but can't pass to save his life, his distribution is even worse than Mennel's, Walmsley had 3 really good games but isn't good enough or big enough to be a top player in the division. SO what is going on there looks like suicide to us.

As much as I love the 'dogs, I can't for the life of me understand why the likes of Fev and Fax are buying these lads? As much as I hate to say it, you have far more cash to throw about, and have better individually talented las than these already, surely if you are going to progress you need to sign better players than the ones you already have. I still reckon Beswick and Penky are the best 2 hookers in the division, why on earth did you got rid of them???

Having said that, Walton has signed for Salford and I don't get that either, his decision making is poor, he's no pace and has a tendency to fly out of the line and miss his man leaving his winger exposed. Remember Handforth's try earlier in the season where he made us look absolutely stupid in defence, well the guy that was made to look like an under 9 was Walton, he also has no idea how to pass. Our best players this season are the 3 wingers, Potts, Campbell and Johnson any of these are capable of 20 tries a season giving even average service, but none of them have seen above 2 passes from Wally this season.

If the rumours at the mount are true, you have also signed Gareth Potts as well as Mennel from us, now he is good un, arguably the best winger in the division IMO. He has pace to burn, good defensively, a natural finisher, good under the high ball and he's defo one of the 6 from the current squad I'd have liked to have kept for next season. I just don't know how a SL club haven't come in for him, we were all perplexed that HKR signed Brown last season instead of him, ask any Batley fan and they all thought he was the better of the 2 wingers last year.

Liam Hood has asked for a release from Leeds according to somebody who knows him and refuses to train with Leeds and Hunslet . Got fed up with Leeds and being treated like crap. Would rather Fax look to a youngster with a point to prove. Mennell is an average Championship player who will add nothing really. Somebody like Hood would be a better signing. A few of the Leeds Dual Regs are not too happy at mo if my info is right and ready to walk away from the game

Well whatever happens next year KH needs to get it right in those key positions of 6,7 and 9, as I said in my first post we can't afford to get it wrong again and make the same mistake twice.

The. March who coaches keighley has just said on radio Leeds that tigger has signed for them and that we have signed finny. Don't know how he knows about finny. I think that he is a good signing. Hopefully more to come.

Wonder if they'll sign pooh and piglet too...??

probly not

Spelling never been my best. Obviousely ment tiger. Prob some more spelling mistakes in their

*there

I know did that on purpose

*porpoise

Great isn't it, someone posts and all all the English teachers come out of the wood?
Surely, it's a little bit futile to pick spelling mistakes over a perfectly god postt?

Which reminds me of the.

Who was up all night wondering if there really is a dog.

One of my all time favourite jokes, that. Especially when told to chavs who don't have a clue what you're on about.

I don't think my mate Charlie Caroli is a chav.

My mate Flav an Irish lad at work is a natural.

The other week we were having this really high level health & safety site visit / inspection on site.

For Flav things weren't going too bad and we got right to the end and they said.

Right then folks it's not too bad just a couple of points.

Weve noticed your first aid box could do with topping up, a few more plasters and bandages.

Also this tube of antisceptic cream has got 2003 stamped on it why is that still there.

Flav glances round and everybody is looking at him and an uncomfortable silence building after a bit of thought he says.

"Well it's for an old injury."

Even the poker faced H&S guys cracked up.
