It was Sebastine Ikahihifo. I’d be happier going with the young lads from Warrington than a 33 year old that will want good money.

He's going back home , his kids played at Elland and said their goodbyes recently.

We've already been stung with expensive ex SL players who have disappointed. Let's avoid in future, eh?

Looked like the exact type of player we needed.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fJMSoj3IXY

Probably a shadow of that now and you have to wonder why Bradford got cold feet on signing him.Should have signed him and a couple like him 3 years ago...

Yes we saw similar video footage of how brilliant Greg Eden was but lhe looked a completely different player with us.

just seen today that Warrington have announced they'll be continuing their DR partnership with Widnes next season - not sure where that leaves Fax. On another point I know it's been mentioned on here before, but Crookes and Tibbs featuring on photos of pre season training - are they signed on or not?

Can only imagine they are signed on but are being allowed to move on if a suitable offer arises.I'd like to think Eastmond has 2 pacy,blockbusting centres lined up that he'd prefer to bring in...

We might go dr with Bradford and get keyes back , lol

I am disappointed that Seb isn't joining us i think he would of gone well for us providing what we have been missing up front. I would guess that we will still be dr with Leeds but getting some loans in from Warrington, which if we don't sign anymore players would be very risky because as soon as Leeds or Warrington pick up injuries they will just recall there players leaving us in a right mess. And with Crooks and Tibbs not getting any social media announcements of new deals i would think that Kyle would of told them they can leave even if they are under contract for next year.

Fev seem to have completed their squad, which is 26 strong:

Caleb Aekins
Greg Eden
Connor Wynne
Maddox Jeffery
Carlos Tuimavave
Bailey O'Connor
Josh Hardcastle
Jayden Hatton
Gareth Gale
Derrell Olpherts
Ben Reynolds
Calum Turner
Thomas Lacans
Zach Herring
Gadwin Springer
Jordan Williams
Connor Jones
Will Jubb
Jack Arnold
Robson Stevens
Brad Day
Clay Webb
Jimmy Beckett
Toby Boothroyd
Danny Addy
Siti Akauola

When you look at that line up, it shows how far behind we are in both numbers and quality.

If Greg Eden was that crap last time out why has he been retained?
And why are we concerned with other reams player squad . No offence meant Tony Fax I am sure some people will be interested ( Fev fans probably).

We should be concerned with other teams playing squads because they're .......... errrrrrrrr ...... our opponents who we'll be playing against!

First league game again if you believe all the fbook rumours..Edan probably signed for a year and a half when he left us ,so they'll be stuck with him..

So squad of 19 now with Tibbs announced.Totally nonplussed with the signing and the timing of it.

I think we probably only have about 17 players for the upcoming games. Will Calcott only just started running as has Owen Restall (why did we sign a player who was badly injured?).

I couldn't agree more Misery. On top of that it looks like we have again signed a player with a bad injury. Why?

I'm also making the assumption that Douglas is now fit,which i've not seen confirmed..

Don't think Calcott will be playing before April/May time if he has only just started running.

Strange Ben Crookes has been at all the training sessions including last weeks but not named on the squad list?

His picture is still on the official halifax panthers first team players list .

Quote ="Listenup94"His picture is still on the official halifax panthers first team players list .'" Yeh but he’s not on the last Facebook confirmed so far squad list. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=14 ... _tn__=EH-R Must still be with us though.

Even counting Tibbs and Crookes it still only gives us 20 players and out of those Calcott and Restall are still some way off and Douglas still has his thumb well strapped so at best that’s 17 who could be fit, 2 that aren’t and 1 maybe with no partnership officially announced.

We don't want a 'partnership'!

The always reliable game caller says we are getting Dan Okoro, Lucy's Green and Jake Thewlis on loan from Warrington - no details of duration . All young promising players who would doubtless improve the squad IF this proves accurate, and we could rely on keeping them for the bulk of the season.
