OK, anyways he has a release clause in his contract for Full Time/SL.

Erm no again........Given he is playing on a visa he is already classed as full time. Salford were willing to pay a fee but the player had no intention of leaving despite their persistence. It would take Fax saying to him they have no choice to sell him for a move to happen, for that to happen Bradford would have to offer a decent lump of cash.

Well we're skint so there's no way we're offering any sort of money. Ross Heppenstall (who's reported it) isn't a Mick Gledhill. He's pretty reliable and doesn't name drop unless there's something reasonably concrete. Lets see what happens.

I want us to sign him just to annoy the all knowing Mr Boots.

Its true Bradford are after him but have not made a formal approach. My understanding is that a group of people wanting to get involved with Bradford have some money to spend hence why if Bradford make a silly offer Fax will not be able to afford to turn it down.

Another bit of insider information that's never come to light until this guy randomly brings it up, just like the O'Brian rubbish. You're either talking out of your rear or you're the rfl in disguise.

Could Greg Florimos Boots be Halifax's most favourite son in disguise

Welcome to the forum Mr Nigel Wood

Now any true fan knows that Wood hates Fax.

Ive been accused of been a number of people over the years but big Nige certainly is a new one.

Yeah I have quite the history of starting rumours that do not turn out to be true.

Oli Elima and Gareth Hock could potentially be free agents at the end of the season. Any takers?

Yes to both.

(though I've paid zero attention to Elima for a while)

My preference for captain isn't a leader. I want someone who can apologise to a referee.

Hock is on contract at Leigh until the end of 2018. Signed an extension earlier this season.

He has had a very good season so I don't see why he would be a free agent.

He has pleasantly surprised me since he joined. His skill and aggression far outweigh the occasional silly offload and as for his discipline... well... you can tell he is trying his best!

No point paying so much money for Hock to spend most of his time at Red Hall anyway.

Elima I always thought got the balance wrong. You expect a couple of penalties out of your "mongrel" players, but I always though he lost his head too much and cost us far too often. If you want the perfect example of the right balance, you look at someone like Ben Westwood. Yes he'll give penalties away, but his positives mean it's worth it. Not that we could attract someone of that calibre right now, but he's just the extreme example.

I think Elima left because he wanted his kids to be brought up in the French school education system

His more likely destination would probably be Toulouse

Well, given the issue's that Sheffield are having, what about Steve Thorpe? Good solid aussie prop and a decent leader too

He's going back to Australia

Warrington have confirmed that Ben Evans is leaving the club at the end of the season...

Looks like Wheeldon (who we were linked with) is heading over to oz.

He's listed as on the playing squad for Toronto Wolfpack!

He definitely hasn't signed for Toronto

Ross was saying that we might be looking at Murrell from Fax. Would have been a good signing before but I think he's passed it now

It feels odd saying this, but we've enough half backs

We need props.

Deal done will be playing 13

Useful signing if true. Despite having Chisholm, Charnock and Addy on the field today our game management was poor. Morrell is the old head we probably need for a year.
