Gonna need an extension to our physio room at this rate.

The off-season is the most dangerous part of a players career it would seem.



Gutted for Mick and Fax.

guess Tyrers kicking then! we have alot of cover in the outside backs, but Nanyn would be a big loss to any team...gutted for him.



we dont really do 2 proper centres do we?!

I read somewhere recently that some American Clubs have stopped having a traditional "pre season" training regime, saying that the excessive fitness work ect causes more injuries, so instead they continue to train all year round rather than having a long break at the end of a season

I would suggest an ACL injury has nowt to do with pre-season intensity and could happen at any time.



Hope Mick has a full and speedy recovery. Will be a big loss to the league.

Micks a top bloke and great player hope he's soon up n runnin

Gutted for the big lad. Absolute points machine and a massive loss to any team. Was disappointed when he left Leigh as he was in great form last year. Get well soon Mick!

www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/sport/h ... _1_4227814 out for the season, a big loss to the squad.

Mick may be a prolific points scorer, but we're not short on them.



The squad was more or less complete when it became apparent Nanyn was available, An offer was made which he took, and IIRC that was curtains for Bannister.



Yes its a blow for Mick on a personal level, but its not the end of the world as far as Halifax are concerned. We have players who can kick goals and we have Centre's who can score tries.

we have 'a' [size=150centre[/size that can score tries.



none of the others that are likely now to play right centre are actually centres.



Reittie is an winger(or for some a second row), Patto is a winger, Haley is wing/fb, heaton is fb, Fieldhouse is a fb. have i missed anyone?



this was the 1st season in years we were going to have 2 specialist centres.



we will still be ok though.



just get the ball to Tyrer in space and we will score! that lad is CLASS!

Heaton only moved to full back at oldham to cover a weakness there. He is a centre



Patto is a better centre



And both of them are 100 times better then mick at tackling.



Gutted for him but i was gutted when we signed him

Gutted for any player to get a serious injury; wishing Mick a full recovery; think we should be looking for a DR to replace him. Get someone young and hungry to impress, similar to how dudson impressed us when we had him for a period.
