Wigan, noticing they're struggling in a dept, sign a player as cover? Bloody hell, Saints should be looking at this revelatory approach.

But there's a few "fans" having a moan about it on the Wigan site!! Sometimes I wonder what goes on in their heads.

Just noticed on the Bulls forum that one Andy Lynch is OOC come the end of the season.

So maybe there is a Quality prop still out there. Whether we could prize him away from Bradford or have enough left on the cap is another matter.

He's been linked with Leeds. I like lynch. He's hard working prop that never takes a back step. Hes getting on now but still a very good prop.

I may have got that from bad info, part of the thread says he's OOC another part says he is signed until 2012. Can't be bothered checking which Bulls fan is right.

There is also talk of Leeds having Griffin, but as you said on another thread this weekend no clubs can sign before september so still time for a steal.

If the club grants permission for players to talk tho clubs then it's ok. It's obvious we let Kyle and Graham do this. If hudds ain't offering griffin a new deal or he's said he's defo not signing with hudds then I'd imagine they will have let him talk to other clubs.

Griffin would do a job for us. Griffin, perry, lms, TP and laffranchi wouldn't be to bad with TP and laffranchi both able to play the loose forward/prop role.

LMS, I still can't decide whether he is an improvement on Hargreaves or not. It's his first year with us and he has some good qualities and can run the ball hard, but I don't know. I 've just not taken to the lad this year. Don't know why, but then again none of our signings this year have really been stand out performers for the year. But I'm a patient lad, maybe it just takes a while to settle into a new squad.

I'm the same mate, Im not sure if he's a improvement on bryn or emmit. It's still his first year and still might need time to settle. It's shocked me how sift he's gone since his move to saints.

It's all that time spent relaxing with his dog in our wonderful green spaces. We need to send him to Manchester to remind him what it's like to be an East End boy.
