Read that we are looking to do a swap deal for a fullback, must be with a SL club . But who have we got to swap ?

Murphy for Tomkins??

Important we get the right man imo

The most profound, insightful statement ever made on this forum. Congratulations, Bobby. x

Pretty controversial that mate.

How will we know?

Plus another 23 in various positions and we will be sorted, believe me.

How will we know?

Can't see me getting much sleep tonight worrying about this.

It's a question on all our lips

When the optimist knows don't worry you will to. He'll make sure of that.

Wellens for Broughton?

More likely Lance Hohiha than Wellens. If it's anyone from Saints. Can't see Wellens leaving.

Also can't see Salford wanting rid of Broughton.

I'd suggest Hohaia is quite likely.

World cup winning fullback who was signed to play half back - pretty much everyone agrees this was a mistake. Nathan Brown implied he didn't think he was a #6 on the beeb before he'd agreed to joins us.
So he's not being considered as a half and he's behind wellens in the pecking order for#1 (perhaps lomax as well).

Forget the last twelve months and he's a big name signing and, realistically, could do a really good job for you.

Richard Owen ?

Where was the swap story?
Can't see us letting Broughton go just a worry about Fages?

Agree with Offside Monkey, pretend the last 12 months haven't happened and Hohaia is a massive signing. I'd be gutted and massively underwhelmed if its Wellens(not that I think it will be anyway).

I wouldn't call it a massive signing . I always thought Hohaia was overrated off the back of his performances in the World Cup a few years back. Saying that, I do think he would be pretty good player for us to bring in and a lot better than what we currently have.

He's a decent fullback and would look fantastic there in Super League, bar the odd howler fielding kicks. It hasn't worked for him at Saints as we brought him over on a big contract to play in the halves, in a moment of blind panic after Kyle Eastmond signed for Bath. He is awful in the halves, purely because he isn't a half back and has very little experience of playing there.

Quite from Farish in League Express.

Interesting that was the rumour I heard last week. Plus someone posted on twitter a few days ago that our new CEO had been seen somewhere with Ian Millward.

I suspect Farish said 'swap' when he meant 'loan'

If he was a Vievers target maybe the deal is dead now.

What ever happened with this. I take it nothing happened?

Owen can't get a game at Castleford (behind Tansey) and played for Keighley last week, a cougars fans posted on the cas forum saying he was very poor and said you can have him back. If he was a target as quoted in the MEN I think PV's sacking put an end to any deal. A lucky escape I think because we were rumored to be swapping him for one of our best players.
