I agree and like you I would have been disappointed if Wire had signed him.

Big lad, but he wouldn`t have merited the salary that he would have taken off our Cap.

He has signed new deal to end on 28. And Abdull has left Hull FC having not even played a game. Nothing saying why but he is now a free agent.

I dont know whether to laugh or cry at Redvee

Why would you cry? Has been quite entertaining (unlike their team) but now become extremely repetitive. Looks like the combination of 2 new wingers and Briers is going to get them back to the top (there are a couple of more realistic posters as well).

No idea about the validity of the information (I think that this was posted on Redvee by our old friend Saddened?) but I would be disappointed if we weren't making an offer to both Lees and Knowles. The fact that Saints haven't tied them down on extended deals before open season began this month suggests that they are open to moving on.

It was. I'm making no claims of being in the know, just passing on what the Wire fans at work were speculating about. Joe Batchelor also rumoured to be on the outer, Hull KR fans mentioning him as possibly going there. Typically with Saints at the moment, we're linked with absolutely no one and we have about 17 first team players off contract and able to sign elsewhere.

I think most are just clinging to the hope next season can't be any worse than last season. Which is understandable, but I think most also have us well outside of contention for the trophies. There's only a handful who are delusional and claiming glory is on the way.

Matty Lees i've never got the hype with, doesn't have big impact, doesn't break tackles etc He's just ok with a good engine and he's consistant. Wouldn't class him as a leader either, but still better than Musgrove, and to be fair someone that gives consistant good displays is better than someone that gives less than average displays, with an occasional good one.
