The players we need to concentrate on signing first of all are H and Tuson for next year.

We need to keep our squad together and these guys are off contract. H will be sought after, especially by NZ Warriors and Salford with their cash floating around. He is a salford lad.

cant see him leaving unless its to the NRL, not to salford anyway does he actually consider him self a salford lad?

Did really well for his team today. Just the type of player we need.

If only you'd posted this sooner. It wouldn't look so much like hindsight then.

I'd be making it clear if I were Lenagan that for him to be granted a testimonial he'd be expected to sign a long term deal.

Anything else would be unacceptable in my opinion.

But isn't the RFL that grant the testimonial not the club? Why would a player sign a long term deal in return for a testimonial? What happened if his testimonial fell when he was 32-33?

I will add I heard HH say himself that he'll be gone after his testimonial with the NRL his desired location

If that what he does then i say good luck to him. He has been a great player recently and has been exemplary in his conduct both on and off the field. If a person like HH says that he will stay for his testimonial season but will then go to the NRL it would be a deserved testimonial for a player that is getting better and better.

So you'd blackmail a player who's been with us for 10 years into signing on for us?
The testimonial is a positive event to reward and recognise a players dedication and achievement at their club. Regardless of what he's to do next it's about what's he done for our club.
