Harrisen Hansen : Mon Jul 06, 2015 9:54 am  

Strong rumours that he has already signed for next season... If true I presume this would be to replace Taai. Personally I would much rather keep taii, but if we have no control over him leaving then Hansen would be the perfect replacement imo... He would definitely compliment our 'new look' pack for next season.... Exciting times ahead.

I have not seen these rumours. However he is a totally different player to Taai. So if there is any truth in this I would say he is more likely to replace Jack Hughes.

It was on the Salford board, apparently the post I saw also mentioned that they had asked his dad at the match and he said it wasn't true, but who knows. Great player IMO if it is true, far better than Tai, Hughes is OFC at end of this season, I fully expect us to sign him properly at the end of the year, hes been a regular for us, very solid. Tai has been better this season though, hes stepped up to the mark in games when others haven't.

Taai offers something different. He is a game breaker and the Giants are short of these type of players so for me keeping him should be a top priority.

Re: Harrisen Hansen : Mon Jul 06, 2015 11:12 am  

Me too, Ta'ai is a fantastic player and we should be doing everything we can to keep hold of players like him....can't say i've ever really rated Hansen either.

Wondering what your club are offering for a player halfway through a 4 year contract? can't see you paying the fee Salford paid and I don't see any player you would swop that would be acceptable to Salford.
Btw last week it was a done deal he'd signed for Leigh.

Would love for ukama to stay however it looks like he is making the decision to back down under.

Rumour is that the club and Hughes can't agree terms so he will be going elsewhere.

IF all the above is true and we do sign Hansen I think it's a great signing. He is a tough uncompromising forward. He has been there and done it with Wigan and has the experience of winning trophies. Something we lack in our current squad. He could help bring wardle onto the next level as a second rower.

Re: Harrisen Hansen : Mon Jul 06, 2015 12:16 pm  

heard about the rumour and thought it must be to replace taai, but cant see this signing happening

infact cant see us signing anyone else after Rapira and Hinchcliffe.

Re: Harrisen Hansen : Mon Jul 06, 2015 12:52 pm  

We are saving a lot on wages if we lose Bailey, Lunt, Tasi and Hughes. Maybe room for one more signing which I think will need to be a back rower.
