Saints/Brown have definitely spoken to Omari Caro. No firm offer had been made in the week but that could all change

Pah, whatever. Maybe if he had better hair or something?

That's not the name I was given.

Will Sharp?

Rhys Williams?

What do people think about the news today and it's wider meaning at Saints? Does this show a change in direction and emphasis from the club that we've been crying out for? The previous years under McManus have all been about the stadium. Coaching, recruitment, retention, all these things seemed like afterthoughts.

But now we're seeing news reports linking us to several players, we've got the likes of Dixon being released, the likes of Foster, Gaskell and Shenton being offered to other clubs whilst under contract and a big star arriving from another SL club who it appears we outbid.

Are the lights finally back on at Saints in terms of trying to win things and be successful, rather than trying to make do?

Another thing, it's great fun to read back through this 2 year old rumour thread. Pleas of 'get him signed up' when someone mentioned Shenton out of contract at Castleford and me moaning about us ending up a mid table side if we don't improve the recruitment.

Dont think gaskell been offered to anyone just think it's is agent seeing who would take him if saints let him go

Nope, he's off contract.

Watts has only ASKED for a release, HKR haven't granted him one.
What if we were to offer Wilkin in exchange? HKR lad through and through, I'm sure he wouldn't mind finishing his career off there and as discussed in other threads, not everyone thinks he's worth what we probably pay him.
If we could get Watts on the straight and narrow, he could be a monster for us.

Wilkin for Watts? Seriously?

I'm not a big wilkin fan as most know on here and I would never in million years give him a 4yd deal.

Im not sure on watts tho, if he can't get a game at hull KR then he's not good enough for us and I don't think Jon would go.

With the signing of manu who will play alongside sia in the backrow means wilkin will be fighting for the 13 spot with flanaghan, so maybe he will book his ideas up.

I wouldn't swap them.

If hull kr can't afford shenton wage doubt they afford Wilkins he must be on par with shenton 130k a season

Some posters on Redvee are saying Sia could move to centre.

Can't see it.

I think we might see josh Jones in the centre on a permanent basic next season also with gaskell at six

I think turner and jones will be our centres next year with someone other than hohaia at #6.

I also think wello will be our fullback.

You think or do you know

Obviously I don't know what team brown will pick but I know we are actively looking for a stand off.

I agree

Well you must know that wello going to sign a new deal and turner as signed be interesting who we bring in a 6 if anyone

Hells Bells, I hope not.

If we fail to bring a stand off in, I think Gaskell will play there.

If we bring a stand off in I can see lance or gaskell asking to be released from there contracts

+1
Brown's comments on the BBC still resonate in my ears. He seemed rather unimpressed with him.

Could well be, I've heard that he's already been told that he won't be needed at Hull next season. Hull to bring in Jason Crookes.
