As I wrote on a different thread - I think you have signed a good one there.

Just noticed the thread on the main board - Looks / sounds like we've got a good 'un!

Needless to say, I'll keep you informed of his progress as we attempt to retrieve our middle tier status next term.

I’d have liked us to have kept him and expect him to go very well for Swinton.

He is a very promising young player. I can only surmise he has joined you for regular selection which he would not get here unless there are injuries.  Knowing our luck will now get half back injuries & we definitely need more cover for that position now.

How well he does for you will depend of course on whether you can attract enough good forwards to dominate to allow him & other backs to dictate the play.

While here Spelly I note Olly Davies played a season for you. How do you rate him?

He did ok mate, and he was in the team that day we beat Huddersfield in the Cup.

He'll do a job for you, no prob.

We've now a dozen on board for next term, which is pretty good going, seeing as we were relegated.

Latest to re-sign is Deane Meadows, a no nonsense forward, who always puts a shift in.

We've signed Jordan Case from you mob.

My mate at 'Ornits, where he played previously, describes him as an "Absolute Machine"

How say you please?

We now have twenty signed on, and it's only November!

We've re-signed Nick Gregson, which I'm delighted about!

He was was my choice as player of the year last season, but finished runner up behind Mickey Butt.

Some Chemics sat near me at OT for the GF, were convinced he signed for you mob, and to be honest, I was resigned to the fact that he wouldn't be a Lion next term!

Runs his blood to water every time he pulls a shirt on.

Twenty one in the squad already!

Happy days!

Our latest signing is half-back Lewis Charnock, taking the total of those registered to the desired twenty-five.

A full squad on board by mid November, is pretty good business in my opinion.

We've retained the majority from last year, plus a few new faces as well.

Promotion at the first attempt has got to be the aim, but the likes of Donny, Keighley, Roughyeds, and 'Ornits will no doubt be having similar thoughts!

Bring it on, and.................

COME ON YOU LIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

West Wales at home is our opening league game.

March 27th is the date (if it's on the Sunday) and that co-incides with my mam's heavenly birthday.
