every team needs some experienced players and we have got lots of them, watch em go next season.

Average age of Fax with current squad is 27.05..

Mixture of yoof and oldies sounds good to me!!

We should do average age of every teams squads.Stanley of 40+ should help.

Thats the perfect mix for a winning team. I exspect Dylan Nash to sign this week.

personally, and to go against the grain with other posters,i think we have re-signed at least one too many of last seasons pack.

I thought it would be. Can I ask, do you ever get tired of being up each other's backsides?

The main thing is we have cover which we really missed last season.

Why would you want to make wholesale changes to a pack that finished 2nd in the league?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand back on topic........ I don't think Wrench or Larder will be in the first 17, but the best teams had fantastic cover for injuries. Take last year, when we lost James to injury, we didn't have sufficient cover. We know the jobs Larder and Wrench can do and they can do it successfully as first choice or back up.

Larder is trying or was trying to get a testimonial from the RFL as this is his 15th year as a pro. Hope he get's it as people like Dave are the unsung heroes of the game.

Its key positions when age counts, Webster and Smith ain't exactly 'fresh' anymore..

At last!!!!!! Something positive from Leon! Well done mate

Two good lads and very commited to Fax, getting on a bit I must admit so surprised but good Professionals and Dave is a terrific ambassador for the club, a future RL coach without doubt!

Speaking of testimonials, has Haley's been ratified or does it all have to go through the RFL? And who decides who we play?

It is entirely up to the player to select opposition.
The league have to approve that choice but it's normally a rubber stamping.
Instead of a team perhaps he should pick a team of lads with Halifax connections who play in Super League?
And a few special guests like Gibbo?
You dont make much money from the game.
The brass is in the dinners, the golf day etc.

I like the sound of that.

Like Ben Beevers did

He isn't guaranteed one, but after his current deal runs out he'll be getting to the point where he could be granted one.

You pick your team according to two criteria. 1) Who's on form. 2) How to deal with the opposition.

Coaches always dumb down 2), but the likes of Jesus and Larder can win games for you against some teams. Remember as well, it's a 17-man game, and each game moves through different phases in the 80 minutes.

Wrench was our form prop in the last few games of the season imo. Both are good re-signings

Wrench & Larder are players, who when the chips are down, wont let us down; Good solid players.

Once Nash is on board, I think we may see maybe 2 younger faces come in from SL (once the rules are sorted) and we have a team that will there or there about at the business end of the season.

How old is Dylan Nash?

He was born 28/12/1986
