A good signing for them. Also weakens Fev! Grove shudds. Cloudwater Autumn Pale 3.9% Mmm!

George Tyson, Adam Neal and Matty Fozard... and ex-NRL forward and current PNG international, Mark Mexico.

Never got anywhere near his early potential James. He does weaken Fev but still not a really good signing for Sheffield, certainly nowhere near as good as any of our props. Both those teams are going to really struggle to put a team out that is able to challenge, in Sheffields case for the top 4, and in Fevs case to get above the likes of Dewsbury and London and possibly even Batley.

Two many injuries for Matt James.

Misi Taulapapa going in the opposite direction to Rovers according to this weeks RL press.

Another decent player and the logical destination for him. Fev will be desperate for 'star' names to appease their fans and no other team would be likely to shell out the sort of money that a player like that could command.

Don't think James has ever reached the heights he showed when he played for us. Looked good then but nothing since.

Must be that 'Fax get the very best out of everybody, Norman?! (I'm sure GFB would agree

)

P.S. Fancy taking Fui for a month or two, to get the best out of him?

I'm not sure how Sheff will fare next season,they are a puzzle to me,I do think it will be another great year, Fax are ready to show last season's finish was not a flash in the pan,and RM will get the best out of the squad,I can't wait,Dews may be a force as well as London,again I'm not sure about Fev,Degsy's boys may run out of steam again ,no Rangi will be hard for them.

Before last year Im sure everyone would strongly disagree. As for Moi Moi, Marshall is good but hes no magician.

Happy 60th old mucker enjoy the capital !

Hudd Shay 60 ?Time to start drinking Horlicks Owd Un,put the ale to bed, try Dr Peppers ,seriously Happy Birthday.

Think we just had him on loan at the right time and our style of play suited him.

We'll take Fui as we need a new water boy after Tangata stepped up last year.

He has the water bottles strapped to his waist under his shirt.

There's only one Leigh player I would have in the Fax team it has to be Brierley ,this lad is everything the Leigh fans say he is and he would be great in our team.

Really? So you think Fax have a better player than Leigh in every position from 1-6 and 8-17?

OK champ

Its not whether they are better players, its whether they will fit into a team structure that counts. I don't feel most Leigh players would fit into the Fax structure. Its the team that wins the league and individuals win a game or two. Leigh definitely have better individuals which you would expect with the money they spend but are they a great team - only time will tell which "TEAM" is best

Man for man , player for player then yes I do our pack I'd far superior who have you to match Calahane, Tangata,Ambler, and Dane Manning,and don't try to tell me Ridyard is better than Murrell,because he's not.

Fair enough, if that is what you think then ok. I disagree that you are better man for man but time will tell.

FWIW I would take Ambler and Cahalane at Leigh any day of the week. Emmitt is just as good as either of them though. Tangata I don't know much about to be honest and Manning wouldn't get into our back row ahead of Hansen, Patterson, Maitua, Barlow, Hopkins etc.

If you offered every team in the league a choice of Ridyard and Murrell I am confident Ridyard would get picked by the vast vast majority.

Not come on to your forum to pick an argument, I think Fax are building well and should be top 3. If you honestly think only 1 Leigh player would get into your team though you are beyond deluded. The likes of Jake Emmitt, Liam Kay and Mickey Higham would walk into any team in this division and improve them massively.

Nozzy I can see you are a deep thinker,I admit maybe Mickey Higham would get into our team but he turned us down years ago as for Emmitt I disagree the guy is overweight doesn't look fit never breaks the defensive line and is no ball player.I haven't made the comparison from next seasons team because you can't comment on guys who have not played for you yet,as for Ridyard I don't rate him I admit not a bad goal kicker but he's slow and is an average half give me Murrell every day.I look forward to our games next year.

Emmitt averages 60 minutes as a prop week in week out. To say he is overweight or unfit makes you sound silly. His fitness is his best characteristic. For me he was our Player of the Season last year and regularly breaks the defensive line.

If you're happier with Murrell and we are happier with Riddy then I guess both sides are satisfied. I do rate Murrell, classy player. I rate Manning too but personally wouldn't swap either for what we have currently.

We don't play each other for 4 months yet though so plenty of time left for arguing before we see what happens on the pitch

A lack of real quality around at the moment. I just dont see where all Sheffields and Fevs players are coming from. Fev will have decent halfs in Thackery and Craven but a pretty poor pack going on what we know so far.

I think we can match most teams with our pack . We have improved the backs with the addition of Sharp and Smeaton (Miles coming back from injury). HB area has been strengthened too plenty of completion in that area. Cant see many weaknesses in our side tbh. We have a settled side which has been improved. Sheffield are building from scratch so will wait and see how they perform next season. Wheeldon on paper looks a good signing. for me Sheffield lost too many good championship players going fulltime. I agree with GFB not a lot of quality knocking about.
