| Quote ="SaintsFan"Royce has already stated that we need four halves. If Wheeler is supposed to be one centre then that will leave Gaskell, Lomax, Pryce and Hohaia in the halves.
However, if Wheeler CAN JUST GET A RUN OF GAMES then it might be that he doesn't end up as centre after all but steps in for Leon who will be dispatched to the players' retirement home that is Bradford.'"
I think it means either he don't think lomax is our 7 at this present time ( or didn't when we signed lance) or Pryce is going.
We would have 4 halves and only one real centre in shenton. We must be the only club with one centre and it's been that way for about 3yrs now.
When was the last time we had a real out and out centre partnership?

From what I gather, saintsfan is correct, TP is giving the saints club the run around as I gather he's looking for a club in the NRL.'"
Just because the situation hasn't been made public doesn't mean the club don't know what either player is doing.

I'm willing to put any money you want on him not being a Warrington player next year.
I know for a fact he's either going home or signing a new two year deal. I know that for 100%.

Yes. Whether or not were in super league with you is of course a different matter altogether.
St Pete the news I've hears is that TP WILL be at wire next season. League weekly (admittedly not always reliable) reporting they're in discussions and also stating they're trying to sign shillington

Maybe he is then but a current first team player at saints told me otherwise.

You do realise that Dave Parker gets all his 'scoops' from these boards.

| Puletua WILL NOT be at Warrington next year. I wish 'journalists' would stop reading the drivel on fans forums and reporting it.

Isn't it against the rules for Warrington to be 'in discussion' with TP while he is still under contract with us, though.
Thought you couldn't approach a player until about September.

Thought so!
In that case, I would take everything you read on the subject, with a pinch of salt.

Unless the club if the ok to talk to other clubs. We let longy talk to clubs before September.
I doubt very much that saints would let TP talk to any club if we want him to stay.
Tapping up happens all the time in rugby league and it's pretty easy to get round in a sport where everyone knows everyone. It can happen thru players and most often thru players agents. I bet TP agent will look after players at Warrington.
It's wrong but happens. Every club does it.

Of course it happens. I knew LMS and Shenton had signed for Saints around June/July last year. Just scrap the "approach by rule" and that's it.
If a player is out of contract he should have the right to seek out his future employment like any other person.

I knew about Shenton myself. I also knew pryce was coming to saints about 12 month before he signed.
All clubs do it.

| There's a few of you on here who sound like you've known Graham will be off for a while?
If this is the case, why did your board let Hargreaves come to Bradford? I know he's not in the same league as Graham, but he is a very solid, hardworking prop and if you'd have kept him it may have help offset the loss of Graham.

Some of us have been asking the same question! We let a number of players go last season, possibly to help fund Kyle Eastmond. But we never get to know whether Saints let them go or they wanted to go. It's possible that Hargreaves wanted to go. Who knows? Either way, some of us wish he was here now, never mind when Jammer departs, because we don't have any staff left!
