That article mentions AOB's favourite player is Gaskell; one of Bradfords hookers is the waste of space Flanagan while we have 2 decent hookers under contract. I'd be gutted if AOB ended up at Bradford but sadly I wouldn't be surprised.

I thought the same thing however I’m on the Huddersfield fans forum and they’re all saying he’s going to fax including one who specifically says she spoke to him directly, also someone mentioned that Brandon Moore needed shoulder surgery and could be out for a while.

I'm getting a nasty feeling the longer the silence regarding a possible re-signing of AOB the more likely he's going to Bradford, who'll announce it after their own season is over.

But there's an outside chance Bradford could still be promoted which will throw their recruitment into chaos. Fev and Toulouse are not Leigh and are very vulnerable.

Well, a signing is to be announced at 5pm. Betting on Douglas, Davies, O'Brien or Widdop.

saw Widdop in town at Lunchtime, but he wasn't wearing his Panthers top. I am betting Connor Davies.

O'Brien it is. Very pleased with that.

AOB on a 3 year deal

Obviously pleased with that, I think most will be,but we're still in the position of having 3 hookers, and Inman needs to play

Hey, Liam might employ a mega type rotating system with 2 hookers on the bench. Calland made it work very well with Penky, Gleeson and Beswick!

Very very happy with AOB signing. Great start to the signings

If the rumours about Brandon needing shoulder surgery are true then three hookers is more than likely cover for that.

This looks like good business to me, and at this level he is a very good player. Tied up for 3 years too which is something you do not see very often in the championship so well done to the club for that. We just need a pack that can lay a platform for him now.

Walmsey is off to wakey I’m afraid.

Thr merry-go-round stated spinning, great capture of AO’B. If everyone is honest we all knew Wombat would be taken just a little surprised at who has him, but opens the door for Someone else to be the next prolific flier, Maizen?
At least Fax have some money in the pot if Wakey have paid for him as is reported.

Maizen will take his place on the wing. To be honest Maizen was always a winger for me anyway. Fast, and not strong enough defensively at centre. He'll go well.

I don't think it can be understated just what a huge loss Walmsley would be for us. You simply can't take a player out of a team who has scored nearly 40 tries and replace that and its a sickener to see him go to a team in the same division.

On a side note its also a shame that it has come out like this with Gledhill getting info from the players agent or a leak in the Fax camp as the time is once again very specific after a positive announcement by Fax.

Walmsley going would obviously be a big loss, but with him loving his time at Fax and a year of his contract still to go, I'm guessing Wakey made an offer Fax couldn't refuse. Could net us a couple of high quality players in return.

Pleased about AOB but gutted about Walmsley. As mention about I hope Maizen gets that spot and will go well. Wingers get a lot of their try's through what the east of the team is doing and making space for them. Most of our team will be the same next season so hopefully Mazarin and run in 30 trys next year

Walmsley to Wakey might not be as cut and dry as it seems, it's clearly not finalised and it will now alert other clubs to his availability, Cas for instance would love to get one over on Wakefield, and Lingard supposedly had a wishlist of Championship players

Agree with this, really hope it does mean we retain Maizen who I think could be a cracking winger. May well be wrong but wouldn't be surprised if its only Walmsleys departure - if it happens- that's allowed us to sign AOB.

That could be true about Walmsley going and getting a fee. It’s no secret that the club (like all clubs) are Low on money and financial income. If it is the reason then the club did well signing Walmsley in the first place and develop his career and now being able to let him go to another club for financial settlement. Those’d days of clubs buying talented young players from others are all but gone.

As far as I’m aware they’ll only get ten grand anyway so is it really worth it .

Understand Wakey paying over double his current contract, plus that includes him moving with them into SL should they do so. It's not all about what we want as a club. A player's career is relatively short so he gets the chance to earn much more doing so and have the potential of playing at a higher level, he needs to take it and hopefully he his successful..apart from when paying us.

Walmsley's been great for Fax. I remember he got dropped the beginning of 2022 (hard to believe that now!) but he didn't sulk and just got on with it. Hope it works out for him.

I know McGillvary has said he wants to stay full time, but at 36 I doubt if any SL club will take him so it may still be a possibility we can snare him for a season? But as already has been mentioned, this may be a great opportunity for Maizen to step in.

I wouldn’t take McGillvary. He hasn’t been at his best for 4 or 5 seasons and as said he is 36.
