Player Leaving and Coming : Tue Jul 03, 2012 9:41 am  

So we know

Kevin Brown to Widnes
Lee Gilmour to Castleford

I have been informed by a reliable source

Keith Mason is in talks with Cas and another club as has been told by the giants if he can find a deal elsewhere he can take it

Scott Grix is in talks with Widnes

Danny Brough is going no where

Adam Walker rejected a new contract from us and has not been offered one by anyone else so could find himself in a tricky situation

We have signed Anthony Mullaly who rejected a new contract from Widnes, spent last year playing for brisbane 20's. 20 Year old prop, waiting to be announced

We are no where near the salary cap and i would presume will be monitoring Bradfords situation as another 2 props maybe ideal for us. Kopczak/Hargreaves maybe? Luke Gale to replace grix if he goes?

Think there could be a few Bradford players available next week - Not sure who I would actually take though still like Sammut- Any thoughts?

Re: Player Leaving and Coming : Tue Jul 03, 2012 12:16 pm  

I thought Brett Ferres has signed as well, just not announced yet.

If mason is being allowed to go we need 2-3 props!

Re: Player Leaving and Coming : Tue Jul 03, 2012 12:37 pm  

Can't see grix leaving myself but wouldn't surprise be at all if mason was shown the door. If we have a chance I'd be in for Sammut, he'd be a cracking signing.

I would not touch sammut with a barge pole until he changes that ridiculous haircut. At least his Jack Sparrow impression was vaguely interesting. Looking like you were lying near a grass boundary whilst it was being cut takes the biscuit

Sammut reminds me of Gavin Clinch. Stood out in a poor team but didn't shine in a better team, so no thanks.

We've done not too bad with getting stand out players from poor teams and taking them onto the next level. Just look at what we've done to the wakey rejects we've signed Oh I forgot, according to the wakey fans we only sign poor players from them apart from Brough who brought nothing to their team

mason to cas? after the way he got on with them last time mind you i can see the link with him been working with millward before but do we really want to be letting props go? we need them coming in not leaving.

Grix leaving, wouldnt be a massive loss...think we are in the market for a new partner for brough, and his full back spot has gone to eden now.

walker going the same way as orwell then.

mullally intresting....read he had rejected widnes ages ago and they were fuming...a prop aswell ...would be a good signing!

kopzcak and gale would be good additions from bradford

dont forget we have given eden and fairbank improved deals this season too...thats like new signings!
