Seems we've signed him at Swinton, any thoughts?

Only ever seemed to have a good game once a season, very inconsistent. Never runs at full speed, but hey who knows might cause chaos in your league.

No shock there it was rumoured he was going there.

Dana if fit would be a crackin player but never seemed to get going really.

He has a really good offload to his game and although not the most destructive runner always does well winning the floor so gets a quick play the ball so if you have a decent hooker they should go well off the back of that..

Good luck to him anyway.. Halif.... err.. Swinton will be good next year!

I think there were health reasons as to why Dana didn't play that often last year. He is a good player; remember his game at Cas?

Yeh on his day he could fit into a SL squad, against Cas he was five star, and the season before at Widnes always stands out. But never made a real impact with us.

Has the ability but i sometimes questioned his desire. Could be very destructive if he got those legs pumping. Can off load well and has a quick play the ball but could up his work rate. To be fair to him he seemed to have a few injuries last season. Good luck to him regardless as he always seemed to be a decent bloke off the pitch.

he might go good in your league.

he is a good player on his day, trouble is those days only seem to happen a couplr of times a season.

might be more consistent in a lower league.

2 or 3 good games in two seasons....not good enough!

I'm suprised we're not playing Swinton in a friendly, it'd be like Fax A vs Fax B

for his size he should have broke more tackles. short on being consistent but still a good player.

Smith,Watson,Joseph,Southern,Heaton all played for Swinton before they played for Halifax.

Right.....and.....?

new halifax 2nd team replacing Keighley

I thought that was Siddal?

Good luck to him, he never let us down, i think we all saw his potential and our expectations weren't met, but hes a nice bloke and as i said never really let us down, so we should wish him well.
The right coach might just instill a bit of devil in him and he can go as far as he wants in the game.

For me he was a waste of space!! How anybody can justify a player who only plays for 10mins (max) in a game when there are others that have to play 80 and do his work is beyond me. Yes he had a great game at cas but 1 game in the years he was with us is just not good enuff. For me goodbye and farewell dana you will be no loss in my eyes.

You loved him really!

PS. Thanks for the copy of that match!!

just shows differing views really, where me and mini4everfax stand, people called him the best prop in the league

Why have Fax kept Watene then?

When Fax play on tv and you can hear what the ref is saying, whenever Watene is playing and Fax are defending all you can hear is "Quicker Frank .... faster Frank" ....... Whistle blows = penalty to opposition "I've told you several times, you're lying on" this is usually repeated a few minutes later until he taken off again.

Frank was awesome at the beginning of the season, and then faded away. If he had a permanent trainer on hand, he'd tear this league apart (and be good enough for SL).

Not sure about Dana though. Trundles along, but needs to pump the legs and get the arms going. The size he is, he'd be unstoppable!!

Get a grip fella, you're obsessed

I feel a bit sorry for Dana..he had a right game at Cas and a couple of weeks later fell ill...he was desperately when we were in Toulouse...

Franks worth far more to us off the field with the work he does in the community, than he is on the field. Whatever people think to him as a player people generally like him for his 'fro and the fact he's a genuinely nice guy.
