Haha yeah true but not that many like him around that's available. Plus with full quota already for next season, that nulls any fitz-esque aussies arriving.

Hame I'm still sitting on the fence with. Has potential to be explosive but his defense at times is nothing short of shocking. Tansey is a quality signing but has over last few weeks been guilty of some suicidal decisions that could have been worse than the eventual outcome. Would like to see radders stay as imo he has played consistently this year

Radders would have been good for another year, but if he is getting 2 yrs then you can hardly balme him..

I like Tansey, but he has a lot of maturing to do, he needs to learn to play as a team and not individually, was not too shocked to see he is 3rd in the league with errors, sure with time these areas can be addressed though.

I love Hame, he is mental

..unpredictable, draws in the defence he has a very good pass, agree he needs to improve his game in defence. I would like to see him play prop, also run on to the ball more.

Again I agree with what you are saying, but for these youngsters to 'bear fruit' surely they have to get minutes on the field to do this. Lynne has had a little bit now but his inexperience was nearly Found out against quins by getting found out of position a few times. He is gettin a chance now and I wish him all the best and he turns out to be a star for the future.

Yeah I agree with that

In the dark days of the last 2 years we were forced to play way too many youngsters in the same team due to the well documented diabolical injury situations. The result was for all to see in performance and finishing league positions. Some of the younger players have come through that period as better players - Houghton being a prime example. Others have fallen by the wayside because they weren't good enough. Crooks/Divorty/Schofield and more recently Cooke/Horne were brought into the team playing with good experienced players around them. I guess as a youngster if you're good enough you will get your chance and take it to make the position your own. As a youngster it's performance and ability that will get you a spot in the team - the best youngsters get their chance and take it.

spoke to 2 quins board members on sat and they both said we have got mcarthy scarsbrook

but rule never turned up cos he was ill to sort out!

I'd be really happy with the signing of LMS, but for some reason don't think we'll get him.

I think we will

O'Meley
Moa
LMS
Lauaki

as props

Who needs Mason

LMS would be a great signing hope this rumour has some substance to it!

And hopefully one of Dowes/Radford.

Is LMS one of the confident signings you hinted to before.. thought he was already destined somewhere else?. He is the wrong side of 30 for us isn't he haha.

Would defo take LMS..... if its true that is

LMS will be at Hull next year as long as Saints don't improve their offer at the eleventh hour.
Radders i don't mind losing but i would like to keep Dowes, been a great servant and having a good year IMO.
I would be happy with a front row of O'Meley, Dowes, LMS & Moa with Lauaki still in the 2nd row but covering at prop.

Anybody heard anymore about Westerman? Last i was told was he would be signing for 2012 not next year due to Cas demanding a fee if he leaves this year.

The one thing I think may swing it for us if LMS was to sign is that, he's been at the club before in the U21's but playing for Saints would be much more attractive for him. Can't see us offering him big money as we never seem to do it with any player tbh.

The thing about Radford for me is that he is having a great season and I would'nt want to let him go, I 'd keep him for a year but two years!!!!!!!!!!

He's bashed up and ain't gonna last two years! If anyone is daft enough to give him two then good luck to them he will be a bit part player next years and a spare part one the following year.

I thought it was set in stone LMS to saints?

Don't tell Big Dave T!

Nothing set in stone until signatures on the dotted line...

Apparently we're offering a bit more money.

Hmm interesting, i do hope he signs for us.

Just got a response from fc that they can't get anymore overseas players I was just wondering after berro being maybe available as non fed

Well, that puts that one to bed then!

How do you know this?

Is it people putting 2 + 2 together because they think radders + dowes might be going ?
