I wouldn't expect us to make many signings. I get the feeling the DoR leaving is because efforts to bring players in this week have fallen away.

I was told months ago he had no clue what he was doing, by a few people. One person suggest Karl Harrison would become DoR after he took on that ambassador role (does that still exist? Genuine question I don't know). And there was suggestions when Pickersgill came in (I think) that Ian Croad was back involved in an unofficial capacity.


Since the takeover, by well meaning people, the club has gone backwards. Probably due to the state of things when they came in and then the wider decline of championship RL in general. I've followed the club for a long time now but I can't remember things been this pessimistic in a long long time

Frankly I'm not sure what to say about this, could have one eye on next year with JK moving on and from what little I've seen and know about him he's obviously had a good pedigree back ground at Leeds and could be a real prospect.

However regarding the rest of this season and the immediate concerns and with just letting a prop leave I really do hope there is a plan B to just trying and failing to get Ronan Dixon in early from Dewsbury as to sign a half back when we've just lost a middle is a bit of a head scratcher.

Aye, a tad bemusing is this one, Finn must have his reasons though. Elland Craft & Tap. Wensleydale Gamekeeper 4.3% Mmm!

What a strange season, watched Kai Morgan last yesr against Wakefield away in a preseason friendly and thought he looked spritely and had some potential and thought he would be on board as a sub for Keyes , next minute he signs for Salford and we splash out on widdop . We are now in need of a prop and sign him in probably our most stacked position. Anyway enough of the moaning the pounds are piling on I’m off for a Big Mac and fries to start the diet .

Well it looks very unlikely it’s for next year like I originally suggested to try and make any sense of it as Salford have just extended his contract for another year.

Release a prop and a couple of days later bring a half in on loan when we already have 3 and trying to accommodate them when there all fit beggars the spine up.

Anybody got any idea what’s going on these days because I certainly haven’t.

I could be wrong but prior to signing with us on loan I think Kai Morgan signed an extension at Salford. So think no matter what happens this is a short term thing.

Agree with what's been said, almost sounds like desperation to just bring any player in.....unless at the last minute we release JK to the Bulls early today. It seems we are going to rely on being able to draw on DR from Leeds. Bearing in mind they have just loaned Ruan out to Hull now, then if they any injuries now at back end of season, they will be less inclined to supply.

We can't use DR now,thats one of the issues.Ruan wasnt even championship standard,but we all know about Grix and recruitment..although Keyes is leaving...he does seem up for the fight,so i'd be surprised if he moves today but if it frees money for a forward it makes the Morgan signing make sense..

Can't help but think it looks like a jobs for the boys signing.

What has any of what’s happening now got to do with Simon Grix?
But since you mentioned it what about him bringing in the likes of Walmsley, Keyes and Joufrett who all played a big part in our better seasons of late.

All people want to talk about being wise after the event is anyone who they wouldn’t have signed, where it didn’t work out and either underperformed or left.

There’s as many players who have left or gone backwards under Finn and he’s planning to sign a number of players from Dewsbury a side that’s going to be relegated and another dependant on us not likewise being relegated under his leadership but nothing said about that.

I’m not solely blaming Finn there’s never just one reason or one person involved in a sporting team environment.

Finn in the week when we release a prop has brought in Kai ( I don’t have to guess what would have been said if Grix had done that ) and the money saved from Lannon’s release should be able to be used for a replacement.

If Finn and the club agree to release Keyes to Bradford at this stage of the season whatever the reason would be simply madness.

I only meant Grix signing Ruan for Hull-nothing deeper..


We've now got a prop from Doncaster to replace Lannon and as a Fax lad should be up for it..

Yes I know what you meant and linked his decision to take Ruan who you don’t rate after seeing him for for half a game with Grix’s signing judgment whilst at Fax.

No idea on the Lad from Doncaster just hope he just gets ripped in and Matt Shaw did say “ the first deal of the day. “
Whether that means for us or just in general?

PS: I was hoping we could get Seb Ikanihifo in early from Giants but he played last night.

If your expecting a big aggressive middle then you are going to be very very disappointed , in three seasons at Doncaster I can't recall him breaking a tackle.
He is a big lad with a heart the size of a pea ,if you thought Ruan was poor then hold my beer.

Thought Ruan played 2 full anonymous games for us but it doesnt matter..let's just hope Keelan and any other incomings fit the bill.

Crikey...

Wonder what put Bradford off him...my only concern.

The state we’re in the first thing I would / was expecting is for the club to at least try and do something as do to nothing would be like hoisting the surrender flag a bit higher and at least they have done that.

How or why Ruan came into and fits with our current situation never entered my head.

I respect your assessment of the lad with 3 years of experience to base it on and did wonder why a current rival would release a player to us as we enter the business end of the season but will see how he goes before forming an opinion obviously get behind him if and when he pulls a Fax shirt on.

At least being a local lad we might get a few more of family and friends through the gate.

Comments on one of the other Facebook platforms said they were messing him around and they signed someone else and Fax nipped in.

Didn’t see all the game last night but he looked to be driving it with some power from what I did see.

Purely from last night's game I'd be delighted if he ended with us next year. Everytime weve signed a real blockbusting forward over last few years they always seem to have been dropped then shifted on, often after very short stay. Unlikey hed do massive minutes at his age particuarly when switching to part time but looked just the sort of forward the fans would love to have at the club
