Just been released by Sheffield Steeldogs providing we could afford him do you think he is worth a punt?
For me we are fine with 10 imports there is no need for any more however, with Danny out indefinitely and Hogger potentially missing for the festive period I think we need an extra body coming into this part of the season.
He would be perfect on a checking line with Stewie and Hamish and would give the team some grit as well as scoring ability, I feel we have lacked a real gritty niggly player ever since we came into the league and Soupy would certainly provide that. Also an ex teammate of Stewie so it wouldnt surprise me if at the very least a conversation was to take place.
Signing him would allow us to play 3 quality lines of hockey with a 4th line of british boys.
1. Pitton Haines Chaumont 2. Dolan Hogg Dutes 3. Campbell Stewie Hamish 4. Scoony Torch Gunny

Agreed, he'd be a good signing. Stewart could be at the worst another maxwell or Cohen and maybe not even play again this season. The only positive out that is the fact that he would be behind the bench as its clearly making a difference having him there. Campbell's a good hockey player, hits and likes a scrap. Be good for the team. However it will not happen as even tho Stewart and Hogg are injured they'll still be getting paid and I can't see fife having 11 imports on the books.

I was thinking about Campbell this afternoon after hearing and I would certainly have a look at him, maybe on a trial basis depending on the injuries to Stewie and Hoggy
However I don't see either of them being out for far too long so would Campbell be worth taking a punt on for the rest of the season. Apparently he has had some personnal issues at Sheffield and not put everything in to his time there and the games I saw him up here with Hull last season did not impress me too much but I think he could do a job on a third line if we wanted to take a risk but I don't think we will

No thank you.
It's one him saying he'll work harder but his best days are past him, he's lazy. I'd rather stick with what we have or bring a new guy in that will fit in than pick up yet more scraps from someone else's table.

I'd be more than happy if they brought him in on a trial basis. He's only 32, averages a point a game in the EIHL and would bring a bit of toughness to the 3rd line.

I would give it a go if you could because he owns a resteraunt in Newcastle I believe so somewhere up north is ideal for him.

Wouldn't worry too much looks like Hoggs only out for a week or so anyway

He's listed as 50/50 for the weekend. If it was me, I would sit him out for Nottingham, a game we will probably struggle to win and play him against Dundee, a game we need to win. Especially to make up for the game we gave away at home to them a few weeks ago.

Injuries ................ precisely why you should have a full compliment of import players, this was one of the lessons that should have been learned from last season at least but no Flyers go with 1 less than everybody else and the proverbial happens.

Great, He has signed as INJURY COVER, what a luxury. Matter of interest, How many people attend a Phoenix game on average ? How many imports does the EPL allow ?

You can have as many as you like on the books though, so you can employ 10 if you want, but 6 would have to sit in the stands. Erm... well Phoenix never release the official figures, but we're always told it's about 1000
