At last some good news...........



wouldn't move Snitchy, he's been excellent. Frank could play at prop himself.



Do feel sorry for him a bit though, it's gonna be hard for anyone to be genuinely 'excited' about his arrival the way things are. I don't mean any disrespect to Frank in that, it's just the Club and fans minds are understandably elsewhere.

didnt know that, hope he plays aswell as willie did for wakey..

I don't think this could happen at a better time TBH.



A new face, someone who isn't 'tainted' (not the best word, but you get the gist) with the events of recent.



I think this will help to divert attention a little - and for that reason alone I am real happy at his timely arrival!

great news more players the better at the minute for us. This will take some work of some players who are busting a gut every week.

My very thoughts TRB when I read it on Sporting Life a few minutes ago.

A fresh face, a different focal point, some new Ozzie stories for Sam et al.

Tough time for him to come in, but it's also a good thing as it's some good news which is what we need to help lift spirits up.



Looking forward to seeing him play, hope he plays against Saints.

It is good news and like some said a change of focus for the lads, really strange on here at the moment, still feeling numb and very much saddened by this. Just reading a post before and i thought of a rather witty reply which made me smile a little as i was typing, needless to say it didnt get replied to as it just does not feel right, felt rather guilty for even thinking it.

that's what this forum is about enjoying the banter,

when toppo and adam passed away it was gut wrenching for me, I didn't post for days, then found it hard to even reply to the simplest of posts,

you shouldn't feel guilty,

I know we are all not the same but I wouldn't want anybody to feel that they couldn't have a laugh and a joke on me

I know what you are saying, just does not feel right when you think of what his family must be going through right now, they say you can not imagine what it is like to lose a child until it happens, my youngest was in hospital the other week for 2 nights with a nasty asthma attack and i dont mind saying i was a bloody wreck and scared to death. Thinking of that just makes me even more sad for his parents for what they are going through which frankly no parent ever should.

we lost my sister through bowel cancer and my other sister is recovering well from breast cancer, my mother of 80 said to me you don't expect to out live your kids

that was very sad

Agree 100% there is nothing to prepare you for it. My mum is in remission for breast cancer at the moment so i know a bit of what she is going through good luck to your sis mate and hope she can beat it, wouldn't wish it on anyone.



Death is a very strange thing that it is the only thing that you can be sure of happening to you from the day you are born and yet when it arrives it leaves the people around you in a total mess.

she is doing very well been over a year now, we laughed the other day as she has had to lose a lot of weight and she had to have a new boob made, my lad is playing in the pink strip at stanley rangers and was due to walk out with the team on friday night, whether this goes ahead now I don't know,

this was going to be announced that the community trust was the main sponsors for us, we may have to wait now
