I'll be playing for Wire next season too! Briers has decided to retire after all. I have a great kicking game. Love kicking balls, me.

I look forward to you gracing super league

did a Wakefield fans just say that?

I'm willing to put any money you want on him not being a Warrington player next year.

I know for a fact he's either going home or signing a new two year deal. I know that for 100%.

Yes. Whether or not were in super league with you is of course a different matter altogether.

St Pete the news I've hears is that TP WILL be at wire next season. League weekly (admittedly not always reliable) reporting they're in discussions and also stating they're trying to sign shillington

Maybe he is then but a current first team player at saints told me otherwise.

You do realise that Dave Parker gets all his 'scoops' from these boards.

Puletua WILL NOT be at Warrington next year. I wish 'journalists' would stop reading the drivel on fans forums and reporting it.

Isn't it against the rules for Warrington to be 'in discussion' with TP while he is still under contract with us, though.
Thought you couldn't approach a player until about September.

correctermundo!

Thought so!
In that case, I would take everything you read on the subject, with a pinch of salt.

Unless the club if the ok to talk to other clubs. We let longy talk to clubs before September.

I doubt very much that saints would let TP talk to any club if we want him to stay.

Tapping up happens all the time in rugby league and it's pretty easy to get round in a sport where everyone knows everyone. It can happen thru players and most often thru players agents. I bet TP agent will look after players at Warrington.

It's wrong but happens. Every club does it.

Of course it happens. I knew LMS and Shenton had signed for Saints around June/July last year. Just scrap the "approach by rule" and that's it.

If a player is out of contract he should have the right to seek out his future employment like any other person.

I knew about Shenton myself. I also knew pryce was coming to saints about 12 month before he signed.

All clubs do it.

Sign him up.

There's a few of you on here who sound like you've known Graham will be off for a while?

If this is the case, why did your board let Hargreaves come to Bradford? I know he's not in the same league as Graham, but he is a very solid, hardworking prop and if you'd have kept him it may have help offset the loss of Graham.

Some of us have been asking the same question! We let a number of players go last season, possibly to help fund Kyle Eastmond. But we never get to know whether Saints let them go or they wanted to go. It's possible that Hargreaves wanted to go. Who knows? Either way, some of us wish he was here now, never mind when Jammer departs, because we don't have any staff left!

To bring in Aussie test prop Josh Perry? Fair swap in my book.

Quite correct! it is funny how the rules are only supposed to be for one club! but they are allowed to flout them freely?

I think that any young home developed player who signs for another club at the end of a contract the club should pay a compensation fee to be decided by the RFL, some clubs may think twice if such as LMS was rated highly and commanded say £150,000? then again I remember many friends? lol on this board not welcoming LMS and saying how they had youngsters in the reserves much better!

Because for Saints to move on we need better than Bryn Hargreaves. There is a reason he ended up at Bradford and it wasent for the weather.

Saints have a young prop called Carl Forster who will make it, injured at the minute funnily enough but it's short term.

Thought I read that Forster is out for another 12 weeks.

I think it shows that frodsham has no future at saints, we've Massine injury problems and still not been called back.

He's not even had a look in at Widnes. Shame.

whatever happened to the great white hope?

he was always rubbish - never showed anything that would suggest he could play at SL level.

You keep harping on about this, seemingly forgetting that Eastmond signed his deal 12 months prior to the decisions on who to let go.
