Any truth in the rumour Chase married his English girlfriend last week. If true could make his visa application easier.

Anyone heard anything about Mcgoldrick?? Any chance of him staying for 1 more year?

I just get the feeling that maybe circumstances have changed and we've now offered O'Meley an extension. Purely based on the way he played on Saturday and the last couple of games. He looked like a much happier and more committed player to me. That could be because he's got something elsewhere but I wouldn't be surprised if a deal has been done.

If that was a performance based on getting the offer , let's hope he celebrates accepting it with some more similarly impressive performances. On that sort of form he would be difficult to replace. Good news.

I'd like to see him retained, even if we do get Chase/A.N Other. He would provide cover for the backs/halves and we know from the nightmares of recent years the problems that can happen when we lose a half-back to long-term injury.

I have also heard that he is very vocal and motivating in the dressing room, since he arrived we've played with a lot more enthusiasm (Widnes game aside!)

I think Goldie probably would have been retained, but following his injury it will be more in the balance. IIRC he won't be fit to resume training until December, so maybe we will delay a decision until then. Suspect he will head down under.
