Seems like we moan like crazy when we let someone like Dupree, Walters or Hardaker go and have a good game or even season.
However when a genuine 1st teamer hits the news and is linked with a move away he won't be missed. Give it a few weeks and then we will moan like little b1tches that he should never have left.

If Bentley does leave we need someone to replace him who will put in the graft and the tackles he makes in a game.
Yes he misses his fair share but I bet opponents are glad when he doesn`t play.
Hence why someone like Fitzgibbon would have been a good replacement.
Mulhern for me is a better/cheaper option than Dupree and I for one was sorry we let him go at the time.

Saints confirm the signing of Clarke from Wire on a 3 year contract. As expected.

Yeh, coming in thick and fast now.
Meanwhile all quiet at HQ.
Good job we're so far ahead of the chasing pack we can afford to wait.....

Nothing to do with that.

Dupree and Walters left for different reasons. Hardaker went fir the cash.

Bentley has been given more game time than either and since the international games hasn't seemed to hit his previous form.
Him wanting to go to the NRL is hardly a secret and if they come knocking I wouldn't blame him for leaving.
Same fir Hardaker.

Walters wasn't happy with his game time and Agar didn't want Dupree. The club have made mistakes there,how big time will tell.

Now,if let Bentley go to Hull and don't replace him or use his cap space to buy serious quality in important positions then yes,I would moan like a " little B1tch" to use your words

If we could replace him with Nicholson, I'd take that

Matty Nicholson was on every SL clubs radar as a junior at Siddal before he signed for Wigan
IF Daryl would rather sign overseas players than play him regularly (although he's out injured at present) then we should be in for him without a doubt

Sure I read recently that Wire have no intention of letting him leave

The problem with Sutton over dupree is basically paying an NRL premium for him. Sutton has had a decent spell in the NRL, but he's not hit the heights of Burgess, Graham or even Whitehead. Yet I bet his wage demands are double that of Dupree.

That's the issue with NRL signings. We signed Tetevano a marquee wage for three years, when I bet we wouldn't have offered someone like Walmsley (who is twice the player in my view) the same kind of money...

Dupree is from Leeds, came through the academy, was perhaps let go in error, and it's a real shame we couldn't go out and get him back.

Wigan paid a 6 figure fee for Dupree, so I'm not sure the NRL premium holds in this case.

I've not seen that
But if he was available then we should be all over him like a rash IMO

Salford had no intention of letting Dupree leave either...
