I do yes. With full time coaching he could be a devastating impact prop. He's about the same size as Sam Burgess, great pace for a forward and runs it in like Ade Gardner does. He has all the right raw attributes to be a potential superstar, I'd be very happy if we secured his signature.

Was on sun website other week...not heard about him to Leeds though where did you get that from?

Also, if you check on Walmsley's twitter account, some of his mates seem to think he is on his way to saints.

But at the moment it's all just a rumour. Lets wait and see until it's officially announced.

You'd be made up if that happened. The content of your posts would be sorted for a month.

Just word of mouth, people in the office etc. But Leeds have been linked with him for a couple of years it seems from google and it was mentioned on their board in May. He's from Yorkshire and went to Leeds Carnegie University who Leeds have excellent links with, Keinhorst who played for them recently was at Uni with him as well I think. He isn't likely to sign for us if Leeds are interested is he? We'd have to either pay him well enough to buy a house here or sufficiently better than Leeds to make the 4 hours daily driving worthwhile.

Fingers crossed though eh. Hopefully the club will see the impact Hill has made and throw the kitchen sink into it.

I've just had a look at that. Interesting. One of them asks if he's the young English forward Wests Tigers have signed and another replies maybe one day after Saints. That could all be because of him being in the Sun. One of my mates was at Crewe as a youngster and linked with Middlesborough in the paper and whenever we see him he still gets asked how Middlesborough is.

Maybe someone who's less of a wimp than me can ask him?

With that and Wello's new deal, I'd have material to last me all season

4 hours daily drive????? Where is he driving from south of Birmingham????

Leeds to St Helens and St Helens to Leeds? According to google maps it would take 2hrs and 56 minutes to do it now. I'm guess he might have to do the first journey to arrive around 9ish? It could easily take him two hours on that leg at least.

On redvee, someone posted this:

'Reports are that he put pen to paper on thursday, then came to the club on friday with John Kear for his medical and to be shown around the ground'

Now that sounds excellent.

[iIf[/i true it does, yes.

Google maps is utter tosh. I've left Leeds at 6pm rush hour and managed to get to Saints for 7:15pm and I don't have a players parking space.

I'm sure he will be in the same mold as every other good sportsman and have his foot to the floor all the way to Saints.

Hopefully if we have signed him that will give us 5 good props a super hooker, an awesome backrow and some talent on the bench too.

Hearing that he's signed a four year contract with us, and he will be DR'd to Batley for next season.

Top signing who will go well for you... every time he has been on Premier sports this season , Noble has creamed himself over how good he is and has said all along a future SL Star

Why dual reg him? Is there a reason for that? Is he not up to Super League yet? He'll be 22 by the start of the season I think, which seems fine to bring him in, he doesn't need to play every week or against the big boys. What good does keeping him semi pro at Batley do?

I would have thought he'll do a lot of his training with us whilst on dual reg, and we'd also be able to pick him to play for us whenever we saw fit. Presumably it will have been a way of sweetening the deal and getting a discount, if a fee is involved.

Either way, 22 is young for a prop, particularly for a lad who hasn't yet been a full timer, so there's no need to rush him in.

If he's under contract then maybe they agreed to release him to us on the basis we loan him back to them for a year.

Can confirm he's signed. It's a four year deal but he is still under contract at Batley and will be loaned/DR back there next season, he will still spend a lot of time training with us though. Grea signing in my book and has potential to be a real good impact prop if he develops well.

Excellent.

Great news. Now who's next?!

Three year deal.

Wasn't there an old scrum half like Prince or Hornby up for grabs for next year?

It seems Wigan have signed Scott Taylor from Hull KR. An absolutely fantastic signing if they have pulled that off, he's a player I would have loved to see us go for.
