Wouldn't mind that macgennis (sp), seemed a good lad when he played last year. Saying that there's loads at saints that seem the business

Gareth Frodsham?

Bailey recently signed a contract extension
Keith Purthill was adamant is saying Dean and Dixon would be staying with Saints so maybe Frodsham.
The rumour from Wigan was surrounding K.Pryce but only rumour nothing solid.

Is Keith any relation to keiron purtill?

Forward from saints perhaps?

Chris Dean is a centre, has potential to do well.

I think its prefectly feesable that you may be able to get the likes of Frodsham as we seem to have plenty of depth in the props department. I don't think we could gaurentee him much first team action. He's a very big unit and I think would do very well for you if he was to move.

As a saints fan you would have thought you knew more about your clubs policies!
Perry over this year correct but Frodsham is a player for the future, even saints made comment regarding there dissapointment at losing Emmitt, so tell me if you think they will let another young forward leave permanently but I could see a loan!

I was only suggesting it would be a good move for him personally if he wanted to see first team action in the short team. Its not always the clubs choice of who they can keep and who they can't. If a player wants to leave then he could talk with other clubs provided his contract can be bought out. I believe the reason for Emmitt leaving was the fact that he wasn't gaurentted first team games and that saints did not neccesarily want to release him. It may not be Frodsham himself but for the right price i can see Saints relinquishing another youngster if the opportunity presents itself.

heard a rumour about an australian half from 3 different sources now could be just what we want and he can kick goals too just have to wait and see

I have heard rumous too regarding an Aussie halfback but i don't believe them because we don't appear to have the any spaces on our overseas quota avaliable at the moment although with all the confusion regarding the quota system who knows.

any names?

well dont know if its the same one mopsey has been on about it would be a present suprise if so not mentioning names but he has a famous uncle but says hes contracted till 2015 so probably all hearsay

The name I have heard is different but you don't have to look very far from the person you have mentioned to the person I have heard.

Also the person who I think you are talking about (Terry Capese?) is out for 9 months with a knee injury.

thats what i mean i heard the story about his half back partner before mccrone before that rumour guess we are all just guessing

Terry Campese? As far as I know, he's out for some while with a nasty knee injury.

I wonder if this is an extrapolation of the Josh McCrone rumour, since they're team-mates?

It is very confusing but at the moment I think our existing quota players are:

Morrison - Australian so must be quota
Millard - Fijian so not necessarily quota but must be Non-Fed trained
Jeffries - Australian although can qualify for British citizenship through residency during next season I think (according to BJ himself)
Obst - Australian so should be quota but has been in the country for a long time so not sure on residency status

New players that have come in:
Jeremy Smith - Kiwi? so must be quota I believe
Jessie Joe Parker - Another Fijian (Non-Fed trained??)

As it stands that looks to me like we've already got one too many so can't see another Aussie being brought in as they would definitely be quota unless I'm misinterpreting the rules somewhere.

It is all far too confusing, surley the RFL should publish a list at the start of each season as to who each clubs overseas players are for that season?

I would imagine the only reason they don't do it is because it would show up how it is not a level playing field because some clubs are allowed more quota players than others or am i being overly synical?

What is clear is that there are more comings and goings to happen before next seasons squad is finalised; interesting times!

Ouch!

If true it is a sad day for our sport.

just drove past belle vue and i saw Mick Nanyn driving out in his van

????

I reckon the ban (if there is one) would be worldwide.

In the case of Greg Bird he was allowed to join SL after having an NRL ban. I'm not so sure, guess we'll have to wait until Monday.

To be fair what Bird did (although very wrong) doesn't quite come into the same category as alleged match fixing. Time will tell I suppose
