Agree, he is also young and offers lots of experience from when he was at Leeds.

A off the cuff style hooker with a good footballers brain, if you sign him he will be an asset.

And one of the best in the league for scoring from 2 metres out, has that knack of getting over the line from dummy half.

Good beard too.

Fit in well if we keep Kirmond then

I'm ok with him coming, as long as we sort Wildie out first. He should be treated like a starting player not a cover for McShane

Wildie for me is an interchange hooker and that's where he'll develop. Him and McShane would be a solid partnership.

McShane has just tweeted 'left in limbo!' so it doesn't appear that anything is imminent.

Cracking player - let's sign the frigger up then!

Can be a niggly little shiithouse too. Everyones a winner!

They want a fee which we don't have. Just shows how strict the budget is when we couldn't even negotiate a deal to bring mcshane to us for Aiton and money. Or could be mcshanes wages too much. Either way not good for us.

Apparently he was offered to us, not a fact but was said by Pete Smith.

Not with saints sniffing around!

Its down to Leeds now wanting a fee to compensate in some way what they have paid for Aiton.....maybe Kath should get a shave, and maybe a brazillian and see if she can temp Gary into the sack tonight or it all might be off........Hmmmm

They might as well have just reduced the fee they paid for Aiton.

We don't know if they have reduced the fee because we do not know what they paid and if this is different to two weeks ago.
I am surprised that none of you are concerned that we appear to have been offered players but apparently have no interest in signing them.

Erm, simple maths here for you....We need 3,000 season ticket holders to run with last seasons salary cap.
You still with me? We have 1,600!
You can't need any more info from that surely?

On that basis we are never going to reach 3000 ST so we are never going to be able to sign any players. I hope that you can follow this logic.

Hallelujah! My point for the last month!
The logic is easy to follow, almost simple...If you know what I mean.

Exactly, that's why loan players might be our only option in fielding a team

From what I'm reading it appears very clear to me that if the above entries have any basis of accuracy and they seem to do, then it's absolutely essential that in addition to losing Aiton we must sell Justin Poore.

We need to get a signing fee for him for his last year of his WTW contract and get him off the wage bill ASAP.

It's been suggested to me today that Poore is on over a hundred grand a year, mind boggling if true.

From what I can recall he turned down a few NRL gigs to come here so it must've been worth his while, although Carter suggested that no one at the club was on £100k+ in response to assertions over Mellars salary.

Pretty sure when Poore came over he said he didn't come over here for the money. He was getting a lot of hassle from the media over there.

Doesn't mean that he didn't get the money also

We may not have anyone with a salary over 100k as he stated but by adding in expenses, accommodation, car and free return flights home then it can work out quite a lucrative deal.

Apparently Rangi the Briton whilst at Cas was on a 'salary' and was on an additional 'bonus' of £2K per match , which in pure definition terms was not classed as his salary. That reminds me, Salford, salary cap, join the dots.
