Saints representatives apparantly in Australia talking to Lewis about a 2 year deal. Heard this before the league weekly article. Is it on ?

lets hope this is on

Hasn't he already signed one year deal with the sharks?

It was reported that he agreed a one year deal back in August, however it was also reported at the time that it wasn't signed.

Theres been a lot of water under the bridge at Sharks since then; its more than possible that since Barba left he asked them to match what we originally offered?

He has.

He has what?

Signed a deal to stay in the NRL.

The search for Mr Bums-on-Seats continues...

With the rate at which our rivals bums-on-seats signings are falling, at least we're not losing out on the squad we have at the moment! Leeds hooker options without Segeyaro make Tommy Lee look like a good idea!

I'd much rather the club kept their powder dry and kept chasing players of Lewis's quality then signing a couple more squad fillers. Segeyaro, Solomona and Sandow means there's likely a good amount of movement still to come, and we're in a position to capitalise should the right person become available.

Lewis is 100% not coming. He's signed a deal with the sharks

I'm aware?

I'd rather chase and miss out on players of Lewis's quality than sign 3 or 4 more Peyrouxs for next year.

It's not an either or choice.

Have we really "chased" anyone other than who we signed ?

Agree Peyroux is a dud , however raw and/or unknown is not always bad.

The two unknowns signed by Cas will go well as will Brinning at Salford.

Most knew peyroux was a shocking signing when we announced it. Hardly got picked in nrl and when he did, he looked poor.

He's also injury prone. I can't see peyroux playing much this year unless percy (most probably) or Morgan gets injured. Can't see him getting a go in backrow either as he's behind Greenwood, lms, Knowles, Wilkin and Thompson.
