Quote ="John Gilbert Reds"Flanagan is out of contract and isn't part of any deal that will see Theo announced as a Saints player shortly.
With regards to others, Paterson made his bed when he agreed to join Leigh back in July. Super League looked a cert for the Leythers at the time, since then the wheels have well and truly fell off Beaumont and Rowleys wagon and consequently Paterson tried to renege on his Leigh deal only for Tim Sheens to tell him to stick it.
The others as has been mentioned on here is all to do with brown envelopes and money. Hansen and Chase thought they were invincible and used this to their advantage, the club are better off without either of them here in my opinion. All part of the same clique, I hope it is the last time we see such a high influx on Kiwi/Samoan players in the dressing room at any one time.'"
The first inaccurate post I have seen from you JGR, normally your spot on.
Paterson was leaving whatever division Leigh were in, his family where left high & dry with Visa issues and were on the verge of being deported (Marwan failed to cover the cost as agreed) and so he chose not to take up a second year option.
Hansen has asked for an early release because there are too many money concerns & dramas and Sheens cannot guarantee he will stay as he wants the Australia job. The club desperately do not want Hansen to go and have told him so, he has NOT signed for leigh.
Maitua was signing for Salford but they failed to pay him on his FIRST payday with the money they got transferred from Fev, he then chose to sign the Leigh contract.
Chase has been used as a scape goat even though he wasn't the only one to fail to come back early from pre-arranged leave because Salford NEED his large contract off the books quickly.
Every player Salford have approached for 2016 so far have declined to sign.
