Yeah makes very little sense this we have cover at HB and fullback seems like a signing for signings sake when we need a centre and a couple of forwards and there will now be less money for that. Lets face it barring an injury Woody isn't losing his spot.

Aye, can't weigh this one up. As has been said if we have spared up some brass it's obvious where we could use it and it's not as cover for halves or full back surely. I'm sure SG will have his reasons.

I agree it would be a strange one from Halifax's point of view. He's a decent full back at this level, good at chiming into the attack, but he's not as good an all-round player as Woodburn-Hall.Think if Fax are seeing him as a potential third half back that's very optimistic, he didn't look like he fitted that role at all when Bradford tried him there.

He's effectively 4th choice full back at Fev now so makes sense to let him move on but that's the one position where just about every team in the top 8 in the Championship seems to already have a decent player.

Re: New signing : Fri Mar 17, 2023 11:52 am  
If it happens.

Not sure about his D but he’s got some real pace and comes into the line well with a good pair of hands and can cover the back line positions which is one area that needs strengthening lingering on from the departures of Worthington and Arundel.

Kyle Wood is our half back cover and JWH is next in at 6 with Pickersgill going to 1.

It would be remarkable if Keyes goes through another full season without being injured as well with his history

Woody is a star but every game looks like being one tackle away from getting injured, of course the individual has to be right from who’s available but at this stage it’s a squad consideration a well.

For some time the club has been on the phone trying to recruit and been in the running for several players but the money some agents have been asking for are over inflated.

Their still looking and the phone bill and hopefully the wage bill will be getting larger in the immediate future.

I am in a minority here but i do think we need better quality cover for woody then we have currently in the squad. And if he can cover other positions across the backline that is all good too. But let me be clear i would also like a centre and more fire power up front too. It will be interesting to see if Jacob can provide us with that while he is here.

That’s the ticket Tez and last season remember we had steady Joe who we also haven't replaced, of the two i’d go with BP for cover at 1 and the back line.

And your point about the squad is if Woody got injured and we used say Salty, Walmsley or Jouff then either way that would mean breaking up one of our most effective partnerships or using say Nick Raws who hasn’t featured since Wakefield.

Grix has stated It’s good to have specialists in certain positions but in the modern game there’s also value in a degree of versatility, Ed Barber comes to mind, we miss him and another one not really replaced and it’s a balancing act based on squad evaluation and who’s available.
I’m glad I don’t have the task and responsibility of walking the wire.

PS: All this depends on if it gets over the line.

PPS: And I hope that Craig David who told me all this is reliable, otherwise big :oops: :lol:

One thing for certain is that Brandon is a quality player , I also think Grix is the coach to get the best out of him . With us being in the challenge cup this year and with potential to progressing in the 1895 cup quality squad depth will be important,

Fully agree Terry, he is too good not to sign and gives options at FB allowing Woody to move up. Kyle Wood is not a threat at HB.

And of course not being hindered by cup tie issues he'll be eligible for every comp.

Be interesting to see the contrast with JWH over a full 90 mins close up live if he gets a start at 1.
