i quoted this a few weeks ago,after a friend of mine who knows leon well,said he wants to negotiate a release from the final year of his contract with saints.he still lives in bradford and they would be his ideal scenario,but he would be open to other offers.

Wheeler is no better for covering at 7 then what we have, Hardaker looks the real deal for me although outside backs are not a priority we should snap him up before someone else does, Briggs looks a talent but not really what we need, we need a playmaker, out of the two I'd prefer Moore to be honest.

Does Hardaker not play fullback aswell though??

I wouldnt be against signing both Briggs and Moore for next year they can both be sent out on dual reg to the Championship but it would be interesting to see how they develop training full time with the likes of Long, Fitz, etc.

Chances are at least one of them would end up playing first team when the inevitable injuries kick in and I would rather see a natural half step in then a hooker or loose forward as happened this year!

Plays most positions in the back line but 6 is his best.

i hear going bk to bradford

And you should be "hammered" for using "they" instead of "there" all the time ! WTF did you go to school ?

Yeah, although I might be a minority but I think Tansey is doing ok at fullback, and we have Whiting and Jack Briscoe to cover, I don't think we need a fullback but as I say the likes of Wire, Leeds and Wigan will be in for him soon so would sign him straight away if we have the chance.

Agree entirely. I am in the small Tansey fan club as well, but if Zac carries on the way he is going then he wouldn't be a bad signing at all.

Before last weekend's final, how many of you had actually heard of, or seen Hardaker?

Heard loads of positive things about him. Those where mostly seen in the final.He appears to carry himself well and doesn't seem afraid of the big experienced names. I would be very happy if we signed him and dual registered him with Featherstone. How old is Briggs? thought I had heard his name a while ago for Wakefield or something.

Yeah, who'd of thought it, Graeme Horne's done alright TBH. Even played prop this year!

Not sure who his brother Richard Horner is though?

Just heard of a friend that we're talking to a young half back from the NZ Warriors. I can't find much on him, but he's not played much. But apparently the talks are in full swing and an announcement could be due any day now...

Justin Baxter-Sloan is the name.

Even though you've seen his antics first hand!
Agree about Zac though.

I too am in the Tansey fan club but want to see better discipline.. Also, would like to see more cover there and I've not heard about J.Briscoe for a while now!!

I think Tansey has a fairly large fan club for his playing ability but its the fact that through his antics he got himself ruled out of a few games and one of which was a key game key. Lets hope he ha now taken his warnings and gets his head down.Hopefully we will then see alot less errors and a true star emerging.

Yeah it twas in east ull though governor!

If he sorts his discipline out, I'm sure he could go down as a big big fave at Hull. Needs to stay away from the party time for a bit!

Stay off the drink and get yer GB shirt Jord!

Take your black n white blinkers off, Tansey will never be an international player whilst ive got a hole in my harris

A rather bold statement. If Sykes can get selected anything's possible.

Even without his errors or off the field issues he isnt good enough. I really dont see what people see in him. He is a utility player at best and should be used in that way, not some make shift full back

Great attacking play, probably.

Heard he is quite a legend in the "tag" rugby league circles

I think you're wrong.



Bingo.
