I really don't want us to sign him.

We won't sign him, especially after what Eamon wrote in the programme last week. He basically said that he wants to bring through the youngsters so that the International game becomes better.

He should go to Harlequins RL. He'll get a game there and contribute positively with their corporate sponsorship.

That said, any team wishing to sign him should see how hit fitness goes this year.

That's not a bad idea at all, or Celtic?

Lockyer isn't 32 YET so how can he be 33 when he signs? I'm (assuming maybe wrongly) that he MAYBE available for this season.

He will be 33 at the start of the season, when he comes over.

Therefore he will be 33 for 90% of the season

I guess Maths is not your strong point.

He isn't 32 yet, so how can he be 33 at the start of the season (it starts in February)

And so by your reckoning the average age of the Saints side should go up as Gilmour is classed as being 33.

A tad petty and pedantic, don't you think? He will be roughly 32 and 11 months if he was here for the start of next season.

Just in case it's the Goons that have agreed terms, I emailed the following quote from a Sydney Morning Herald article over to the relevant authorities:

"Captain Darren Lockyer recently admitted to manhandling a bar manager during a drunken night out, only after video evidence proved it was him."

Lockyer was also accused of being near Andrew Johns when he took the ecstacy tablet a few years back at the church.

No chance of him getting a VISA now.

Do I detect a little cause for concern.

Anyway if he has signed for Wigan, getting a visa would not be problem.
Uncle Mo still has contacts.
