So the Exaimner reckon Chris Bailey is a former Australian International lol.

Apparently Matty Dawson has signed for Saints.... Edit: www.sthelensstar.co.uk/sport/10703542._/

no surprises, cording maybe the only surprise but he was out of contract and i dont think we will miss him, did ok when he came in but never really a starting player.

chan/ferres/lawrence/bailey/taai/fairbank next year i would imagine would be fighting it out for the second row spots

dawson is not going to get ahead of murphy/mcgillvary/broughton/blackmore so again makes sense.

the burger flipper flattened eorl???

Not too sure about kafusi. He seems to be a bit like feka- one big hit and then invisible for the rest of the game. Whether he can step up alongside some forwards such as Koppy and Eorl who will help to share the load ill wait and see.

He's in a team thats been pants all season Jools, put him in a team that's as good as ours and we will see a different level of performance, look at Chan.

That's why I said I'll wait and see.

I'm genuinely disappointed to see Corden go. I feel he was coming on nicely. He will have been cheap as well.

With regards to fergy I think we are making a massive mistake. He is a class act.

However, in Anderson we trust.

We've got a top Prop in the pipeline, not deffo yet but talks are going well.

Bailey has been announced on twitter this morning via @WYSDaily

Looking forward to seeing what he can do for the Giants.

Bailey deserves its own thread

Interested to find out who this prop could be...?

not many "top" props around - and even fewer OOC.

exactly... especially in England.. So possibly from Aus/NZ?

HGSA committee was told last week that all new signings for next season had been completed and that there were no more in the pipeline.

No, we weren't told who they were!

Thats encouraging to hear that everything is sorted for next year and we are not rushing around at the last minute competing for players with the other clubs especially when the likes of Salford will be in for every decent player.

i was told only 2 coming in and sorted bailey and broughton, hope this is wrong cos i also think we need another prop.

This came from a player over the weekend, he had no reason to tell porkies, let's hope it comes to fruition.

Maybe he's no longer in the pipeline then and has been signed???

I understand the prop we have signed is Gareth Carvell, the next door neighbour of a current player told me at the weekend.

ps long term reader first time member so hopefully my first post is accurate otherwise my credibility will be shot already!

I thought he had already signed with Bradford hadn't he?

Yup, official quite a while ago.

And to think he made me buy him a pint before he told me! Consider my credibility well and truly shot, perhaps next time I'll check online first.
