To be fair, does anyone know what they are talking about, particularly on a rumours thread?

To be honest, I'm a bit ambivalent about Savelio, he's offered the odd glimmer of light in a dull, dark season, but, he's hardly been sensational, all be it I would have liked to have seen more of him given our woes on the pitch. How much of that is down to him or TS I'm sure that there will be plenty of theories?

On reflection, I'd have been happier if he had been offered a two year deal (it still wouldn't have competed with two years in Aus), but, I would have been even happier if he'd nailed that contract extension more through performance than potential

Look at it this way though...

He's offered the odd glimmer of light in a dull, dark season when the mostpart of the team has been rank average at best. Imagine what he could achieve with some hard work and playing regularly in a team playing at their potential?

Agree with that, im just stunned a 22 year old kid who i would rather have over Hughes on current form cant get a decent contract here, its why i sarcastically said about the 34 year old pensioner coming as replacement lol.

Possibly a contract, at sintellins or castleford last off season?

Andre has now got what he and his family have been chasing, a contract with an NRL club. It gets the family to the right side of the world at a top club in the best competition. Can only be good for them.

We could have got his services for another two years if we had wanted to. We obviously didn't, now we can think of who we would like as a replacement, were we not linked with Harrison Hansen

Re: Rumours : Wed Jun 28, 2017 2:18 pm  

Can see him playing about 2 games before realise can't defend.

32 in October id rather not, im not saying he isnt a good player just prefer someone younger we can hopefully get more from.

A contract in the NRL is all he's ever wanted, as long as the Brisbane offer was good enough, I don't think it would have mattered had we offered him 1 year or 3 years, he still would have been off.

As far as replacements go we will have to see who is available, Hansen doesn't really seem a great option. Justin Horo from Catalans is out of contract? He's probably the only UK based out of contract back rower I'd be ok with. He could bring Gigot with him.

This, chances are he's probably going to spending some time playing with chris sandow (provided he doesn't get booted out of the devils)

Do you want to read my post again? It was MADE UP, as in total rubbish, i.e. it had the same basis in fact that your post had. I really hope that helps.
