Well he`s living in the Land of the Pie, so he`ll just need to exchange the Pies for Lobby and the physique will be there in days.

Think that's something of a bad picture, he's hardly McCurrie or even Mills, I'd say.

Looks like a slimmer version of Mick Nanyn

Well, it's a change from players moving in the other direction!

With Wigan Warriors.

I knew that bit Alan, I was just doing him a favour by keeping it quiet

I used to rate Tommy but I haven't heard of him for a while, good luck Tommy

Def signed......just told me himself and is buzzin about it and said he cant wait to start so he can prove a few people wrong.

Over to Paul Rowley to get him in trim. After what I saw last season if Paul can do with him what he did for Millsy then this lad could be a good signing.

Is Rowles still gonna be there? Genuine question i haven't heard otherwise.

Yea, was talking to his dad last night and he has sorted out his little differences and is working full steam ahead. Has been doing the meetings with players and clubs about d/c and also said he knows who the new coach is but wont say.

Even though I didn't want Paul to be our next coach I would love the bask room to stay. It wasn't just Millward that put that team on the park.

Hope PR can get him fit, more chins than a Chinese phone book!

We did it with Nanyn last season

Paul instrumental in signing up Beswick

Rowley and Jukes are key to training and conditioning etc until the General Manager/Football Director arrives.

Seems that Dean McGilvray has signed for another season

its about time a lot of people reliased on here just how just paul rowley and the back room staff do for this club............

Rowley is the reason the lads where so fit last season.

RHP said he had never trained as hard ever in his career.



Apparantly paul really beasts them, and would be a major loss to the mechanics of the backroom staff if we lost him.

but that has its downsides, could it be the reason Nanyn moved on?

I would say money on offer, was that reason ....

Could it also be the reason that we burn ourselves out at the end of the season. Last couple of years we have started the seaon looking far fitter than other teams, but look jaded come the season end.

Tommy is a decent player, but you'll do bloody well to get any consistency out of him. Dont think he played more than 3 games in a row (if that) last year. Constantly plagued with injuries and never got a solid run of form. But did show what he could do on occasions. And yes hes fat. Fitness training required.

Mick's just added a new addition to the family he probably wanted security & a decent wage which I can understand when you've got a family to support & mouth's to feed

Surely Halifax are due a financial disaster? I was under the impression that they run on a similar implosion schedule to ourselves.
