I reckon that hull might have got fed up waiting for him to make his decision and spent his money elsewhere.

Honestly don't see the point of having Rankin when we have Shaul, both will be good earners and having one sat out of the 17 each week is a massive waste of the salary cap.

Possibly a rumour circulating around the fact that it could be a potential loan deal as Saints are desperate to sign a full back now!

Not bothered about rankin leaving. Not good enough to hold down a place in the starting 17 for me which is a waste of a quota spot. sa also needs to be let go IMO. Maybe keep feka if he's cheap enough as he doesn't count on the quota and does some good work in the schools plus is a useful back up option at prop but would only want him used in case of injuries.

We need 2 outside backs ideally

We need 2 outside backs desperately Jake not ideally.
Centre is a major problem for us next year

If we could release rankin to sign one of the outside backs we have lined up for next season early I would do it.

I meant 1 as an absolute minimum but really needs to be 2 who will be expected to be in the 17 every week. backline of
talanoa, yeaman, new centre, naughton/lancaster with no other back up is nowhere near where we need to be. Need a new centre and winger for me

Not likely if they're decent quality

Good to see Inu catching up with Feka and Paea today. Wonder if he'll take a look around the area whilst he's here.
