Sticklebricks Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Well this lad should do to bad under the high ball on whatever side he plays, welcome to town marra and well done again to all concerned just the pack to bolster then the season can’t come soon enough utt
silverfox Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Sorry about that Pal. but we both have the same thoughts about what this Lad can fetch to the team. Totally agree with your comments .
IanMac Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Welcome to the club Alex. Certainly got the physique, look forward to seeing him play. Chris has obviously worked with him before and knows what he is about. It’s going to be exciting to see how the squad develops and matures this year. It’s definitely Chris Thorman’s squad and good to see the directors backing their coach. Hall, young, o brien and Dawson a little bit different from your leatherbarrow, tansey and foster. Good luck lads, here’s to an exciting season.
homeandawayer Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 We missed Hambley's size in the backs last year. Just needs a Wilkes or a Dickinson type prop now.

DavidM Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Welcome big fella . Good to have some size and presence out wide . We really needed an upgrade there , in fact catching and tackling would do it . All the best to him

Good luck lads, here’s to an exciting season. Alex has said ‘’My motivation for signing is the excitement of a new challenge, improving under a great coach and proving myself at this level. I’ve really enjoyed training with the lads over the last few weeks and everyone has made me feel very welcome’’ The Good thing is that these are all young Lad's who have all said the same thing and also Chris is saying these players are coming into the club with the right attitude and mentality and are all Training really hard,unlike the 3 named above. If we could add another Prop alongside Fui Fiu then we should have the best balanced squad we have had in the last 10 years.
troutmaster Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Good signing for our club,Looks to have the size for a threequarter which we have lacked for a while.
havenhater Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Our backs are more then sorted now apart from possibly a half back. 2 props and we should be good
troutmaster Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Would welcome back young Dickinson to our club,Him and Fui(if he comes back)would be a good front row partnership to give us a good alround team and one i am looking forward to watching...UTT....

Chris made a point of saying at the end of last season he didn’t want to sign players who didn’t have the right attitude. I think he has definitely followed through on that statement and it augurs well for the club. When you look at the youngsters he had at Huddersfield in the academy, Macintosh, Tyler mellor, Sam Wood, Sam Hewitt, Tyler Dickinson to name a few, he certainly seems the right guy to nurture, develop and improve players. Real shame Tyler Dickinson signed at Batley, he would have been a great addition.
LancashireTown Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Great signing looks a very good prospect and added size and fire power to the outside backs, looks a unit! Kicks to the corner to a big man like stack used to pull off would be fantastic!! Are the rumours of tickle leaving true? (Just a rumour I’ve heard don’t hold me to it)
Sticklebricks Posted January 7, 2020 Author Posted January 7, 2020 He was signed for this season,but you never know what’s round the corner, but until it’s official he’s still a townie
town4me Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Welcome to Town Alex. Looks a good addition. Hope Tickle isn't off. On the subject of forwards maybe they are going with a lighter more mobile side this season. Or like someone mentioned maybe they are waiting to see the SL squads announced first before moving for forwards.

unicorn106 Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Welcome to Town Alex, all the best for the season.
