Was gutted when he first went to Town so very happy with this signing, he's the potential to be a great signing

Last I heard was wanted to stay in the championship so not sure

Jamie, Graham, Ainley, Phillips, Hanneghan, Castle, Evans all town bound. Romeo Widnes, Maizen I assume will be banned? McCarron was fax bound but believe they're in special measures and can't sign anyone till they sell a load Strange about Corkhill, can't see him being signed elsewhere, same with Oscar not played much unless he's heading to town with the others?

I've seen a few mention experience now and I think if Taylor signs and maybe one more older head, ideally a forward, we'll have more than enough experience, Burns, Tomposh, Bickerdike, Anderson-Moore, Taylor, Holiday have all been round champ/L1 for a fair while now. The young lads we've signed are all internationals in their own right so they aren't new to the game, they're young lads with loads of energy and enthusiasm. There's only way to get experience and the next couple years are ideal for them.

Very worried why? It's common knowledge it is a complete rebuild for the club so we're heading into the season with no expectations and no pressure on the young lads coming in. It's a miracle we've still got a club. It's going to take 2/3 years of rebuilding but that's the price we're paying. I've got complete faith in the young lads and it's a credit to them wanting to sign up and test themselves. It's like me saying I'd be worried if I was a town fan throwing money at players in a all or bust couple of seasons under Jonty, all the Haven lads aren't coming cheap, one especially who is asking clubs for a substantial amount just to sign on then add in the 3/4 overseas lads you're getting into that.

Stack had talks with both Barrow and Town supposedly

All 3 Aussies

Heard Town could be announcing 6 ex haven players

Don't know much about him with him being from south of the county, think he's highly rated down there and another local community based player with international experience

We've just signed Tom Farren from Roose. believe he spent time at Furness Raiders? anyone any info on him?

I know what you mean marra but after the last couple seasons I think it's great that locals are still willing to sign for Haven and that we're even getting a team out onto the park. Add to that it's not just any locals either, all of them bar a couple have some form of international experience with the Lions or whoever. In regard to town signing them, I always like to see locals sign whoever they are for... But I probably wouldn't be as positive publicly

Aaron could be an absolute fantastic signing, strong as an ox and his work rate is second to none. I'm positive he'll be a real fans favourite once he finds his feet in the pro game.

Sounds like a good signing for us then ,thanks mate

Another good local with league 1/champ experience. Can't help but think he'll want to prove a point after hardly featuring last season for Barrow

Spent some time looking at the clubs in the league next season, who do you think will have a good season? NW Crusaders have that new owner and will fancy their chances, alongside probably Keighley, Rochdale & Town who should all be pushing for top 4. Goole will be a bit hit & miss, signed some experience but most of their signings seem to be academy players. Dewsbury seem a bit like us with a re-build of local players As for Haven, it's good we're going into the season knowing it's a re-build season and not having to high expectations. Real buzz of excitement with all the local signings. Are Cornwall/Newcastle still going? They seem very quiet with not much activity.

It's a rebuilding year, no expectations at all. Saying that some of the local lads could turn out to be hidden gems. Some of the amateurs can't be that bad considering Town were in for them as well

Another good local, hopefully with a full pre-season he hits the ground running, got good raps from town fans so looks promising

Jay Weatherill is a fantastic signing by the club! Really exciting player and a proven try scorer

That's a bit unfair on Worthington, especially when you haven't watched him week in week out, he's a real work horse and would be a great asset to you if he's signed.

Yeah I know, I was referring to Haven123 saying he'd love to know who is recommending players, I think wires have been crossed by his comment, the confusion being those who are going on tours to those who are signing.

I think he means recommending for the tours?

Real nitty gritty player, could turn out to be a very good signing in the pro game

He's 31

Yeah then they question if they're good enough if they sign some of the time amateur games are more enjoyable then the semi pro games!

Yeah I believe they do mate
