Does anybody know what the chances are of us signing him when his loan ends? He's been a massive part of our success this year I reckon and it would be fantastic if we could make him a fully fledged GIANT!! Will Saints want him back next year when they've still got Roby, Cunningham and now this kid Lomax?

Moore will be back at St Helens next season, he has 1 year left on his contract. The agreement was for 1 year only.

Cunningham's set for retirement (although don't rule out a u-turn) and Lomax is a half back, really (although he may be ear marked as a replacement for Wellens at full back).

It's not unheard of for contracts to transfer to other clubs etc. Do Saints need/want four hookers?

thay wont have 4 hookers

OK, thanks for contributing - care to explain please? Will Scott Moore be getting games at Saints next season.

In the RL press a few weeks back it was reported that Saints had gotten a little miffed at the Giants for making eyes at our hooker in the making and they stated quite clearly that not only did they want Scott Moore back next year but that he [iwould[/i be back next year. Meanwhile, poor ole Matty Smith is still waiting for a word, down there in South Wales.

So, my guess is that Scott Moore will be returning to Saints in the off season. Whether he will stay beyond his final year is another matter but by then you may have found someone just as good. So far as I know he is being considered as Cunningham's replacement. We still don't know whether Cunningham has decided on another year at the club (I think he is still making up his mind) but even if he does decide on another year, Potter is at our place to integrate and bring on our young players, so now would be the time to integrate him into the team in preparation for when Cunningham hangs up his boots.

Nathan Brown has employed a hypnotist to 'unlearn' Scotty Moore in the hours before Mad Monday.

Don't worry Shaun Lunt will step up to the plate once more next season. He keeps improving every season and he will be a like for like replacement for Moore.

for me lunt is not far off been as good as moore now, real quality player.

Lunt has the making for a quality 9, just needs to learn when to run and when to pass. Perhaps a bit of a kicking game would help as well.

Moore will indeed return, he's growing his hair and putting on weight in order to fit the profile of a St Helens hooker.

Roby can play 13 if need be to accomodate them all.

so what has he got

A number 9 on his back



Lunt is a great prospect and under Brown will develop into a great hooker. He is not yet ready to be a first choice hooker but with more training and game time under his belt will be in a position i believe to play that role within a season at the Giants.

Good pace off the mark, an eye for the try line, a busy player, sound defensively. Not saying his passing and running are bad, but sometimes he makes the wrong choice, however with more experience this should improve.

But then Moore was making mistakes early on too

Lunt will learn well, and he certain has the ability. He is almost guaranteed a try if we are on their line too.

I like Lunt too, think he'll develop into a top quality player. I do also think though that Moore will develop into the best hooker in Super League - I'd love it to be with us but if Saints want him back next year I suppose I'll have to accept it won't be

Moore and Lunt are two different kind of hookers that compliment each other in a team. Moore is like Cunningham and Lunt is more like Roby(faster and more agile). I'd be quite happy with Lunt and Faiumu as out first choice hookers for next season though, not sure on if Faiumu will be with us or not, does his contract run out at the end of the season?

Think it's next season but he has that court case when he gets home in the off-season and that may cause visa issues perhaps?

N/Brown has improved Moore`s play and attitude since leaving Cas. He is unrecognisable as the player who turned out at Cas.
If he leaves and goes under potter at Saints, will he still perform as he has with us ???

I think we could see Moore back with us in the 2011 season.

I suppose you can never say never.

WEll maybe he will want to join a team with a chance of winning silverwear

The thing that may be needling at Scott is that our coach will be able to teach him, IMO, more than what he will get at Saints because he was a hooker himself.

Just think back 12 months and the jip that was being bandied about by Cas fans when we got Moore. IN the interim period Hudson has been out for a long while with a broken arm and Moore has represented his country. Who'd a thunk it...

Big pats on the back for Baloo!
