So he was at Barrow then Widnes? Who did he play for last season?

[DavidM]

Took a year out and before that had knee troubles at Barra then rejoined Widnes in 2011 but only played 5 games . Talented from pedigree but maybe a bit if a punt . Lets see on the paddock , fingers crossed for us to gel and prosper .

got a bit of experience as well so he will help callum find his feet as well. good signing and in a position weve struggled in for a long time. i would still be getting a stand off to come in and support him and use phillips as a replacement hooker.

[DavidM]

Agree Wonky , I still think we're looking for that gun line breaking half to rip up games . Wonder if the overseas will happen , and hopefully there's more development on the amateur front.

good signing i think we still need a goal kicking half back or a goal kicking player as i dont think he is one

[DavidM]

Aye , you wouldn't want to play Forber just to kick goals .

[town4me]

this is a very key position we had to fill to play behind our big pack. his background sounds impressive but the signing doesnt seem a big one for such a vital position that we need to strengthen.

[Cato89]

I think that will be it for the backs... I reckon Olstrum will play 13 Lupton 6 Coyle 7 . Maybe Phillips will fit in the halfs with Lupton going 13.

Id like to see another couple of 2ndrowers

taking good shape, up the town

Decent pedigree, could turn out to be a good signing. And as always a certain deludedfans.com poster slags off a Town signing....

Welcome to Town James.

There's a report about James Coyle joining Town on the NW Evening Mail website and at the bottom of the article there is the following comment :-

"Great player for Barrow, was a huge miss when injured. I'd have him back tomorrow, shame he's gone to Town. Coyle made Rooney look so good at times and it was nice to have a scrumhalf who tackled after 10 years of halfbacks who wouldn't". The writer gives his name as P. Acky, so it might be Phil Atkinson, Barrow assistant coach, I don't know, but it's quite a glowing reference for the lad.
