Anyone ever wonder why it's always saints or Wigan fans that hears the rumours about our players first?

There's always tons of rumours about. I first heard Theo Fages had signed for Huddersfield from a Warrington fan in work for example. Heard today that you've matched Leeds' offer for James Bentley and Saints' offer isn't anywhere near it. Don't beat yourself up that you don't get the 53rd iteration of Chinese whispers before I post them on here. At least I don't claim they're from a reliable source, they're not. If the George Williams announcement is tomorrow though, I expect some kudos.

Me too.

He has that bit of mongrel about him that our forwards are missing.

I actually don’t see any attacking threat in Bentley, wouldn’t be anywhere near the top of my wish list.

Yup, same as with Morgan smithies, sky rant and rave cos he's a bit argy Bargy, he's got no attacking game whatsoever

A VERY poor man's Westwood. Always 'looks' like he's doing lots but achieving little, a poor player.

Yeah i'd agree with that, he's quite small for a second rower and attacks no better than Hughes and that's saying something.

What about Simon Grix and Mike Cooper, they had terrible injuries when younger.

Thanks for putting us back on track, (I think) The difference is that Grix and Cooper were not overly reliant on pure pace
