Oh the irony!

Haha

Salford are a club going backwards. They talk about this that and the other but have nothing positive to show. When will the Stadium be built? They have a Coach who is poor in Mcrae and should not be in SL now let alone next time. Widnes offer far more. Why go to Salford and suffer being second to Alker and getting beaten if not hammered each week and play in a boring side? Fax least win most of the time and play an exciting brand of Rugby and has a positive feel about the place. The Ground is improving all the time. We may not get in to SL but SL is not the be all and end all of things.

it's not very long since you were telling the Leythers weve got penky youv'e got porky, we no longer have porky and it looks likr you wont have penky much longer do try to keep up chaps

o yes but that was so soooooo funny, listening to weve got penky youv'e got porky from the dugout,

Not sure if we're the best club to have a go at someones stadium

Least we are doing something-Salford have had so many plans and talked so much they are like Wakey! There is little chance a Stadium will be built in either Salford or Wakey over the next 2 years despite all the crap they give out

Can we expect an announcement over this very shortly?

Heard last night he's gone.

Get Govin back then!

His best position is 9 and he's good cover at 6.

I also heard that he has gone.

Gone down the shops for a loaf and a pint of semi-skimmed.

Nat... that is awfully lame! ha ha

I don't think anybody wants him to go, but rest assured that if he does, then Matt and Martin will have a suitable replacement lined up.

I wouldn't expect it to be another hooker. Beswick and gleese would take the roles.

good luck to him if he goes, i wont be loosing any sleep a we have plenty of cover in this position,

however a good replacment would be Ben Fisher who isnt getting much game time at HKR i would welcome him back any day over Penky

I agree. Would also mean that we have a solid defender on at hooker all game. No need to look for a replacement. If Penky does go, then I hope we get a fee for him and not just a promise of a friendly.

As I said a few weeks ago, hookers in my opinion should not be doing just 20 minutes then changing. This is all started because of saints and the bulls as they had 2 hookers swapping, newton and cunningham who were not 80 minute players due to their age and weight, so everyone started jumping on this bandwagon.

Gleeson, Penky and Beeswax are all fit athletes and have no problem playing 80 minutes, swapping after 20 just messes things up. It takes a while to get into a game as well and penky was trying to get 80 minutes of play into 40 hence why he looked like he was trying to much.

A good hooker can play 80, Elliss did it and Barrow didnt do to bad.

In a funny way if its true then I expect to be more consistent and dare I say a better "team" as a result, yes penky as an individual will be missed but I thought all the changing during games at hooker affected us.

If Penky has gone, then I think we have enough cover in the hooking role with Gleeson and Beswick

One option could be to bring Govin back as cover for hooker and stand off, but I would much rather the money be spent on a specialist centre - the one area I feel we are still lacking

I would guess penky's wages are relatively high in terms of our squad, so should he go, releasing that amount of money should allow us to bring in a decent level of player (whether that be hooker or elsewhere).

On a seperate note, I wonder if we are due an up and coming Bulls squad player again this year? it does seem that we have started a trend of doing this over the last 2 seasons.

I think Gleeson is your best player anyway, let alone your best hooker.

Different types of players anyway penky and glees, glees more of an organiser, penky more off the cuff, both bring something to the table.

Nice to see that, just like the Murphy's, you're not bitter?!



Am truly amazed that any Fax fan has the cheek to question when another team's stadium will be finished?!?

I can only assume that your criteria for judging McRae as a poor coach is that he doesn't take his players out on drinking benders often enough??

Anf finally, now that Fax are obviously a much bigger, better club than Salford, can us fans have the money back we contributed when your entire club almost went belly-up?

Feb 2010, come along to the opening day

Ours is actually going to be finished though, whereas your stadium is yet to even have a brick placed down!

And it's taken how long?

I can't believe you're seriously going to suggest that Fax fans are in a position to ridicule other clubs about the length of time it take to complete a stadium?!

(unless of course you've been out on the lash with your players of course, in which case you won't be capable of any kind of coherent thought).


Might just do that. Have been to plenty of games at Fax over the years, some involving Salford, others not. Have family who live within walking distance of your place and have always found your fans to be decent sorts on the whole (other than one or two on this thread who've clearly got inflated ideas of their own importance).

Perhaps this comes from being a fan of the best team in this league by a country mile?

penky 2 be apart of the fax squad next season
