Would imagine saints will be an interested party.

Already have signed a half back

article says saints are not interested, my moneys on leeds who need a mcguire replacement short term

or the inevitable salford interest as they have the cash

remember its only short term, he's signed a deal for next season in the nrl

For next year though i thought?

Was Brown at the Dragons at the same time as Soward? Would make sense if it is them.

Would Leeds be able to fit him under the cap. Salford would be guess.

Saints

I thought saints were at limit for the quota and he's salary would projected over a year to stop the andrew johns and adrian morley fiasco happening again.

See tuggs post

Maybe Cas will swap him for Chase

.

London obviously have the money and do need a halfback but with the season pretty much over for us it'd be pointless.

Can't envisage Leeds signing him. Soward is a kicking and organising halfback rather than one who would have to play second fiddle to someone else. And Sinfield doesn't play second fiddle to anyone.

Don't see much point in signing another half back (on big wages) when we've already got one coming next year, would end up with 2 half backs taking quota space. Plus we are trying to get Gareth O'Briens loan extended to the end of the season,

I doubt it's Leeds, Burrow or Sutcliffe will step in for McGuire. If I had to guess I'd say Salford or Saints.


Yeah Leeds generally operate under the cap, by about £100-150k is what I've been told.

A lot of rumours at the moment that Saints are trying to release Josh Perry with immediate effect, freeing up a quota spot and a fair amount of cash as our top earner (depending on how much we have to pay him off to get rid). Would love to see him over here with Saints but thinking about it doesnt look likely

You have to imagine it's a top 8 side because Salford / London signing him for the rest of the season is a bit of a waste of money when really they'd be better looking for a permanent replacement next season.

That being said, Hudds/Wigan/Warrington/Hull(s)/Catalans don't need him, Saints have denied their interest and I can't see Leeds bringing him over as we're not ones to disrupt the team mid season nor spend the kind of cash needed to bring him over.

Saints seem most likely then!

Would be pointless for Salford to sign him. We've no chance of making the playoffs. Can only see him going to a top 8 team at the moment as it would be a waste of money for the likes of us, London, etc.

Edit: Just notice I've somehow managed to post almost exactly the same thing as the previous poster's first paragraph. Great minds...

Salford need a promotional signing regardless of how much it costs. Koukash has talked the talk and needs a quick hit to prove he means it. Soward kind of fits the bill even if it would be pointless in relation to the table and he would struggle to work behind a beaten pack.

It's not .... Your season has not started yet..

Fair point

He'll sign for Salford then claim he's Homesick, then mysteriously end up at Headingley the way back to Sydney...

Wow, are you lot [istill [/ibitter about that???

Semi against Sheffield then ( a big one) only 80 away from Wembley!!

Don't think we're particularly bitter about losing Moon - but when you look at performances last night you can see how much we miss players like him.

It's more galling as it's not the first time we had the dirty done on us. Years ago Hudson Smith was apparently pining for home and ended up playing a season at Bradford. At the rate of moving back to Australia at approximately 40 miles a year, they may just make it to the continent in their lifetimes...

A month before the 1/4 final, his visa would take a few weeks surely, so I still don't think it'd be worth it.
