Ferguson is way better than Simon in every way - don't know about Allgood not seen enough.

Got to admire your rose tintedness Vasty , you historically make silly comments most days but `Ferguson is way better than Simon in every way `could possibly win you the prize for most ill informed statement of 2016.
Don`t get me wrong I think Fergy could be good for us, I like his defense and we desperately need players who can tackle, add to that Kirmond and Ashurst are not exactly durable plus Fergy can play 13. That said I also like Simon who I think has been great for us, top attitude and hurts the opposition with his hard running. I have not seen much of Allgood but he will have to be good to be better than Simon for us.

I think Simon has been good for us, and he will be missed. I certainly think he was missed in the latter part of the season.

His error count is no worse than others, and to compare him to the likes of Korkidas and Moore is laughable.

He is lighter in comparison to our other forwards, which could culminate in some handling errors, but he doesnt make any more than any other.

I am in agreement with a lot of people on here, stating he and Arona would be better used in the back row.

Dont think Allgood is a world beater, but I do think the trio of props that are incoming (including Fifita) are an improvement on the outgoing ones in Scruton, Anderson and Yates.

Also, I still haven't seen anything confirmed yet with Simon, and as he is contracted, if he is to be going, then they would have to be a fee involved.

Oh the irony of it all - I was clinging to the hope that crap you post on here was a joke, clearly I'm wrong.

As for Simon I don't doubt his attitude but he rarely makes yards despite hitting the line like a train - I don't know why but he's a bit like you, flatters to deceive

We'll see, I was right about Finn and Johnstone and I'm right about Ferguson - next time I see you I'll tell you how it feels

I mean you want us to sign Lee Gaskell - luckily Hudds have saved your blushes on that one

What are you on about, both those players were better and I wasn't even a Korky fan - you really love your Frenchmen.

Come on let's not bag players like Simon whose been a good signing and whose stats for last season were impressive. He contributed more than most as discussed on other thread. I recall his match against Trinity when he played for Catalan away and he ran over the top of a couple of Trinity forwards...the forum then raved about him being signed by Agar for the following season.

If he is to leave hopefully Trinity will get a fee as he has another year on his contract....losing Simon though isn't an issue if Ferguson and Allgood are signed IMHO.

Allgood is an experienced ex-NRL prop and maybe has something to prove. At 6ft 4 and 17 stone he adds even more size to the pack.

Ferguson is a big SL standard second row and will be a good signing for Trinity adding genuine competition with Ashurst, Kirmond and others. He has showed up well in the Four nations.

If we do get any sort of fee it'll be minimal considering there's only one year left.
