They’ve probably realised he’s twice the player Lewis Dodd is

We need to persuade them he isn't... I know let's send a few Saints fans over to have a word with them. They'll soon persuade them that Harry isn't fit to lace Dodd's boots

I’m sure the club will be looking to extend his deal asap. Hopefully he wants to do that because he’s getting better and better.

Hope so mate. The more I see him play, the more he reminds me of Paul Deacon in that great Bradford Bulls side. Others may take most of the plaudits and the glory but he's the one controlling the game and making the team and gameplan tick. He needs tying down to a longer contract as a matter of urgency.

Good likeness to Deacon. A half like that takes a while to get the praise they deserve but it’s coming now. He is controlling things perfectly for us and bringing a great balance alongside French/Field. He didn’t do bad for a guy who ‘doesn’t play well in big games’ as claimed earlier in the week.

It might be a mind trick but Old Trafford always feels a massive pitch and he’ll be so important in winning the territory battle and hopefully allowing us to tire the big Catalans forwards.

We have so many players who can "pull the trigger", we need someone who oils the gun and makes sure the bullets are loaded. Harry is our gunSMITH...

(See what I did there? )

Wigan may be well on top of the situation - hope so as Smith is crucial for the team. But the downside of using up a marquee player spot on a position where we are already strong is that there is less room for manoeuvre when there is interest in one of your existing players.
