Brough has plenty left in the tank yet, at least another 2-3 years and I hope to god they are with us. We'd be mad to let him go. But if truth in Gaskell then it makes you wonder.

Ferguson was probably offered more money to go to Bradford at the time, and more game time, l remember him being in great for us before he left. But we do have better players at present especially with the youngsters stepping up. If these are to be true it would point to us losing someone.

Depending on Taais and wardles future we will need a back rower and fergy does not compare with either of them imho I also think we need a centre and winger depending on how Connor goesWILL MCINTOSH be good, what is happening with leeming

I need to apologise to Wardle for dropping him out of my 17,apart from one fumble he was outstanding,solid d and more importantly getting the ball out to Leroy.

I saw McIntosh in the trial against Catalans,just a short spell but believe me he will be good.

I think Connor is getting better and better- he is making some excellent metres and can do that out wide but due to agility and strength also further in from in that centre spot. Kept saints guessing all game!

He still seems a bit slow and flat footed in defence for me. BUT he does seem to be improving

Sintellins 'fans' seemed to have stopped even commenting about RL good or bad,here on fools.

Apart from the usual 'the game of RL is fooked' which of course is always the last resort of losers.

Must be close?

Would love to have Hurrell.... That's the type of player that will attract a few extra fans.... Can't imagine it happening though, he's on a huge wage with the Warrior's ... But you never know, maybe the rapira, taai, ikahihifo link could presume of them...

Vatuvei past his best? He's already been linked to saints and tweeted yesterday something about challenge for 2017 and then #inthatnumber - he later deleted it so could well be truth in the rumour. Hurrell would be great - not sure we could afford him though!
