have you guys heard if penky is signing for you from halifax? they reckon its a done deal

It's been mentioned on here before but it didn't recieve a warm reception

. Nothing official as yet.

Just out of interest, what's the Fax opinion on him? You see more of him than we do unless we have a group of fans going out of their way to watch Halifax on weekly basis to weigh up potential signings?

too hot and cold when his passes come off really good but if they don't he looks stupid and needs to learn to die with the ball thought he had a bad season last year and my opinion is should cash in on him. will be ok in super league don't think he'll make any headlines though

IMO gleeson is twice the player penky is , so you can have hime for me casue we still have gleeson

Sounds like Radar Robinson. A victim of his own enthusiasm. Ends up looking stupid when making 'wonder' plays when nobody else is on the same wavelength.

Cheers for the lowdown.

I'm confident that Salford can coach that into him.

comedy gold

good player, his previous history has kept him out returning to SL before now.
his passes went astray as was in a fax team that tried to score off every play.

Again. That won't be a problem with our style of play.

Halifax's captain and best player according to several on their board.

Had a disappointing year in 2009 due to being played out of position but "still the best 9 in that division".

We need someone to rotate with Alker now Robbie has gone.

Penky not FAX's best player (although good), by a country mile!

best 9 in the championship is GLEESON, who is also our player of the season.

I think that is who we are signing and you're keeping "Penky".

both are contracted.
Gleeson would be missed.

cant take any rumour from a scum supporter seriously tho'

He would be a decent signing I reckon. Would offer a lot more in attacking positions than Malc currently does.

he doesn't support Leeds united

Let me guess;

he's a man u supporter who goes to all their matches, like all man u fans do (not)!
(was he part of the scum at Barnsley?)

bet he wouldn't support them if they dropped 2 leagues, probably just turn into a city fan instead.

1st point. Not a Man U fan.
2nd point. I think you'll find a fair few contributers to the Turkey forum ARE avid Utd fans who DO go to pretty much, if not every game including away days in the Champions League. Those that are old enough will almost certainly have gone to games in days out of the top flight.
An estimated 7 fans kicked off at Barnsley. They have 75000 at every home game and millions around the world. Hardly fair to tar them all with the same brush. (Not to mention the 7 or so plastic bottle throwers that confronted the Salford fans a couple of years back up at your place. Not getting at Fax fans in general, but as I'm sure you can appreciate, morons get everywhere.)
As for the question of loyalty, the aforementioned characters are also Salford fans. Enough said!

its must be a balance thing, watch man u win and then watch salford get smashed

Serious point here it is very unusual that both win on the same weekend when they are both in the top division, when utd drop points salford most of the time cum up with the goods, i always thought it was very weird.

Salford very rairly get smashed, victory in the past is usually given away by lack of quality and contol at important parts of a match, utd have thay ability to embrace the pressure and take the chance when it comes, its more of a mental thing imo

This is something I've discussed with many Salford/Utd supporting mates.

I have also discussed it with several Wigan RL/Bolton Wanderers fans, but the other way around.

Unfortunately I'm a Bolton/Salford fan - I get the worst of both worlds.

I constantly find myself asking which Salford it is that you've been watching down the years Bobby

Possibly.

And this from a Fax fan


Yes I am a United fan and yes I am from Manchester and yes I do go home and away to United(when I can get a ticket) plus Europe, but anyway why should have to prove my loyalty to a t00l like you

On his day Penky is the best hooker in the Championship. Suffered last year due to being picked at stand off. He is a flair/off the cuff player and when it works it really works....when it dosent he looks poor. Never let's anyone down in defence. His kicking game is poor though. Be sorry to see him go if he does sign, but in Beswick and Gleeson we have more than adiquate cover.
