Delighted with the resigns and at last some quality additions.
Well done all at Fax for this.

Judging on last year there may yet be another prop to add if we have the funds and then the rest will likely be loans and the unmentionable 2 letter arrangement.

I've heard that we're trying to get Will Maher permanent from Cas or on loan if they won't release him. I'd like Shane Grady and another back rower to also sign up

Yes Will Maher and as mentioned before Baldwinson are possibles, RM rates them and they both liked their respective time at Fax.
Will put in some big games for us and Baldy looked the part in the few games he played and would get better as he got the plays nailed down.
Both were tied to there clubs and had interest from others so we will have to see.

So recruitment has gone as most people would have liked, maybe R M has got it right this time, as long as he plays people in their correct positions.
Everyone would like to see Fax hit the ground at maximum impact and start piling the wins up from the off, however we all know that you can learn the plays, but executing them takes more time, be a little patient, don t get on players backs if errors or mistakes happen.
The Championship is going to be really tough this year and some cracking games to be had, Sky could do worse than looking at some of the top games as they will give S/L a run for their money.
Congratulations to all at HRLFC for what they have done so far this off season, long may it continue with the new BoD, and thank you to all who sailed the ship beforehand to put Fax in this position. We can all moan and groan, but we don't know what happens behind the closed doors of the boardroom. UP THE FAX

Yes well said and in line with part of it.

Just before last season got underway RM himself recognised Fax had been a bit slow out of the blocks.

A significant part of this was down to the number of players who were still recovering from being busted in the 8’s.

Not sure on the injury hang over this time round but hopefully it isn’t as bad.
Anyone know the injury situation?

Yes but Kav just replaces Adam and we had several others on loan or the unmentionable so I would expect some sort of further addition such as one of those mentioned.
On the other hand maybe not as we have others such as SJ, EM and HK etc.

Re: Player recruitment 2019 : Thu Nov 08, 2018 6:07 pm  

Well Harry Kidd will be like a "New Signing"
