POR Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 latest rumour he's off to York Thought Santi looked pretty useful when he was on the pitch, plenty of go forward plus he can get the ball out in a tackle, wonder f there is any truth in rumour that Chizzo could be joining him from Keighley?

Monkeymagic22 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Chizzy back. Although we aren’t all convinced, let’s get behind him. Gives us a bit more strength in depth, and a a bit of maverick quality. Welcome back Dane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I'm over enthusiastic seemed very ordinary at Keighley, but hopefully he'll be better behind a decent pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No half back is going to shine behind a team gettint beat each week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced he's what you need though. Injury prone and weak defensively. Hopefully we can put the transfer money to use and sign a prop. I was hoping for Kopzcak in return as rumoured.

No half back is going to shine behind a team gettint beat each week. He's part of the reason we were getting beat by such big scores. His lack of defense on our left edge meant we had to stick him out on the wing and even then it's was a procession down that side. He will be much better protected with your pack of course and going forwards he obviously still has his magic moments, and you'll be doing more attacking than us.

We're lacking that creativity that we're going to need against the better teams so I think we had to do something. As things stand we are fielding Lacans and Aekins at half back and I don't think many of us think that's ideal. Bringing Chisholm back was probably about plan E or plan F rather than plan B but the one thing you'd say about him is that he has always responded well to a change of club and we'll all just have to hope he rises to the occasion like he did in 2019. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfey Rovers Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Underwhelming, I'd say the cheap option. His attitude was extremely bad at Keighley. Speaks volumes on their Facebook page that they aren't bothered to see the back of him. In SL we trust? Or is this a Campbell signing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers fev Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I like it, fans are always gunna moan whoever we signed, having him on out books is better than not having him, yes we’ve signed that young Wigan lad but what happens if he’s pants after one game aekins and lacans as good as they both are are not a promotion chancing half back combination 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blues Ox Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Strange how Keighley have dressed this up as its unlikely a fee would be involved if its a mutual termination and its even more likely that Keighley will be covering part of his wages. Probably a good move for both parties, Keighley hoping they can cling on to Championship status and getting one of their top earners off the books and Fev obviously in need of a half back so to get one with experience and who knows the place is probably smart business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Phil Loxton Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Once he left Fev I don't think his heart was there at Keighley. He'll feel he's back at home at Fev. We are only a championship club and to me Chizzy, once fit is the best out there at our present level. Get behind the players. Believe me they may even respond better with the fans backing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason Keighley are covering part of Ben Crooks wages, had to pay over the top to bring quality players in and now are desparate to get them off the books to allow the finances to stack up as the owners start to panic.

LongStandingBull Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 A buzz player for sure if you can keep him happy but often seems to sulk off mid game. At least you can guarantee he will play his socks off vs Bradford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
