Dan Nixon signed from Rochdale, could be a good signing considering his age aswell

Tbf 60 tries in 95 games isn’t a bad return for someone that playing in L1 and bottom end champ

Never seen him play but that is a good ratio of tries scored and is younger than Butt. I rated Butt and we all thought why the hell we are signing Swinton players. 🤣 Sergent, Nixon and Ince wingers. Max Roberts signing today our squad not too bad. Need a replacement for Connell now at least gives us time knowing early.

Well he seems to have a good strike rate, particularly in a team that loses more than they win 

so we have signed 2 Rochdale players despite assurances we were not looking there or swinton ?

Jack Hansen is a decent player and i also think Nixon will do okay.Gutted Butt going and he was playing for bottom end Swinton and has been a cracker. Some of the lower teams have great players it is the whole squad that makes a team better than another.

Called nixon and Hansen weeks ago....got called out by some for posting  "rumours" ....both signings will get pelters because it's from dale .....but as I've said before hes "the running half" so many have screamed for for god knows how long ... Gilly n Danny are a good combo but neither are proper running halves ....he's also got a very underrated kicking game ....always been a big believer in you need a half back combo that are chalk and cheese in style ....I for one have no doubt he'll be a hit ...as has been said they actually have some very good players ..just not a very good 13/17 ....I'd also keep your eye on the potential of max Flanagan following them after Nathan's departure...again a very good player ..great goal kicker ...but not fashionable for the snowflakes ... Don't actually have any inside info on him as did with other two but it really wouldn't surprise me one bit

Gilmore and Richardson are too similar and we need one who has a running game. So it fits our criteria and Nixon has a good try ratio for 24 year old and will give us strength and competition with 3 wingers. Just seen stats on Max Flanagan and pretty good and seems an option for fullback as we are not getting James Tadesco. 😂👍It seems over 90% of squad signed and just need a couple of centres and a big prop. Then just use the loan system for injuries to our players.
