Do you rate him?

I think he will go well in the Championship. Be a decent signing for you guys.

Not up to it if we're in SL then?

Should be looking no further than bringing in players for playoffs at this stage...

Yes we need to hopefully be looking to strengthen for the end of this season considering the number of forwards we've lost from our original squad - Amir,Hewitt, Springer and Brearley, but it's also vital we're planning for next season which realistically is much more important for Halifax's future. Now it's confirmed just 1 up this season with presumably Leigh coming down, it's vital Halifax are well prepared to ensure a top 6 finish in what I think will be a stronger league, if as seems likely we move to 2 10 team leagues in 2023. Getting promoted this year would require a miracle and in my opinion be a complete disaster as we have nothing like the financial strength needed to put together a competitive superleague side.

Unfortunately, i agree. We still have to aim as high as possible though.

We are light years away from contemplating SL imo

If i remember right gee played against us for dewsbury on dual reg from hull kr during last season that got cancelled. He came off the bench and played in the middle scoring a try from close range and also winning a couple of penalties which sykes kicked we did struggle to deal with him in the tackle. Just on what i have seen of him for leigh when he as played it as mainly been in the second row. I would say this would be a good signing and potentially a very good one but as with all signings time will tell.

He's scored twice against Leeds tonight.

I was just reading a interview with simon grix in the courier and if i read it right we will not be signing anyone on a permanent deal for the rest of this season but might be brining in a few on loan. There is also a criteria that simon mentions that players have to meet to be able to play in the playoffs i would assume they would need to have played in a certain amount of games before the playoffs start for the club they are on loan at.

Everything that Grix says just makes the decision to get rid of Springer even more bemusing. Its going to be a slog to the end of the season if we have to go with the squad we have remaining.
