We've been outbid by Huddersfield for Flower. Griffin has signed for Leeds but Giants are now asking for a transfer fee (Shades of Carvell's move to us and how they fell down there).

We're now looking at getting Shannan McPherson added to the 'exempt' quota list as he had signed a contract with Crusaders.

All rumours of course, but we don't seem capable of competing with other clubs for players. The likes of Warrington and Huddersfield seem to be easily able to trump us, despite having bigger squads.

O'hara is the one we Want.

Has flower to hudds be confirmed?

Not yet, but he's apparently been at Huddersfield over the past few days for negotiations and a show around.

The one I think we should sign.

Saints should have seen the crusaders saga as a blessing as we are in urgent need of a prop but our quota is full.

Was told Wednesday night that Witt is on his way to quins after turning Salford down.

Witt has signed for three years at Quins and another Cru player (can't remember which) has signed for two years with Quins.

Quins need these players though. They have too much youth in their team. I think they've become a staging post for everyone's loanees this season.

Bryant is the other one. Think he is a prop

Michael Witt is a quality signing for us and one we badly need after losing such as Rob Purdham, which I fully understand and then Ellis who I highly rated and Wilkes, Witt is reported as saying it was an offer he could not refuse and he was impressed with other players set to sign.

I see another few very good props have moved clubs, including Ben Davies who has always impressed me. I do hope Saints have something up their sleave at prop.

Huddersfield outbid Saints for services of Ben Flower.
