The Graham to wire rumors has been going around for a while, but now there are rumors of a world record fee being involved to get him. Personally don't believe a word of it, however were it true and Saints were open to offers surely Lenegan would take a punt.

If Wire were to sign Graham after the other three they've just snared, I'd take a punt on trying to pinch their accountant - because he must be the best signing anyone's made in SL since the Cap was first introduced.

The Stevo article in LE talks about a Bradford forward to a Lancs club. It's Langley to Wigan.


No truth in it, Wigan just enquired if I am told right.


I don't think we'd let him go tbh.

I would take Langley, big and strong runner, and would fit in well in our back line. I think unlike Graham (who even if we offered £1'000'000 wouldnt let him leave to Wigan), money could talk with Bradford.

Langley is a good player but i'd rather go with what we've got tbh. We have players like Tomkins and Hansen who've got plenty of improvment in them and then behind those we have Mossop and Liam Farrell who are really top draw prospects who should both get plenty of gametime next season.

It's props we need not backrowers.

I dont think it really matters on the pack position, what we need is size and a strong runner, Langley would certainly give us that.

I'm happy enough developing Mossop in that role. The lads 6ft 4 and must be 16-17 stones and is only going to get bigger.

To bring in somebody like Langley would mean holding the likes of Mossop and Farrell back and i don't think we should do that. The only way i'd be interested in any backrower would be if they were truely world class and a player we couldn't really turn down and Langley isn't in that bracket by any stretch.

We need a world class prop forward and if we could get one we could possibly look at playing Coley in the backrow now and again when playing against bigger sides like Catalans.

But unfortunately we have signed up Thomas Leuluai with the intention we all thought of playing at hooker his best position and his favoured position. But with Mark Riddell and Mike McIlorum on the books he is playing at scrum half unless one of them gets injured. So unfortunately due to the salary cap issues Matt Orford is now a non starter.

And you can't see McIlorum going out on loan?
