Despite his dropped bomb on Friday he was superb again, I think we need to pull out all the stops to tie him up on a long deal. Worried about him going now, can't believe we have not sorted it yet!

I agree - He was one of the few bright 'stars' in a cloud of mediocrity on Friday

I said weeks ago , we should get this kid on a 10 year deal whatever the cost , he WILL be the most exciting player in Super League in the next few years !!!

Most top SL clubs are / will be looking at the fb position.

Webb / Hodgson / Greenshields / Wellens / Tomkins all moving or likely to be moving soon.

Greg Eden is head and shoulders the highest error maker in SL. Some closest to him on errors are ball players who have much more possession. If in the next 12 months he can cut his error rate by 60-70% he will be in the England squad 2013.

I hope we sign him. As it has pointed out on a previous post there are a lot of full backs that are coming close to the end of their careers. Most worringly is Wellens at saints, he is still positionally sound defusing many bombs and controlling the game. However he does not have the pace he once had, a young lad (like Eden) would learn a lot from him and has the raw talent and pace to become once of the best full backs there has ever been.
Eden still has some way to go but the potential is there for all too see and good god he is exciting when he is chiming into the line!

Can see him going with brown to saints,hope im wrong.

He's got another 18 months to run on his contract I take it? Sounds a very good player and as you mention Saints will surely be looking, particularly if Nathan Brown rates him highly. Wellens is off contract at the end of the season so I guess what they do with Wellens will impact on any potential offer for Eden. I'd like to see Wellens released, but as club captain it's hard to see them doing that.

All very hypothetical at this stage, but it could make it awkward behind the scenes at the Giants? Has there been anything in the local press about talks for a new contract? With him being a success this year and being talked up in the press, it's hard to see how he'd stay another 18 months on the same contract he's on now. Renewal and salary increase or sold would appear to be the most likely outcomes?

we need to renew the contract now before he does end up leaving.Who could we replace him with for next season that has the same attcking ability?

I reckon he'll end up following Brown to Saints, i think one of your halves and a prop will also follow him to 'tellins

doubt a prop will go with him.Brough would have to be bought.Could be robinson to rotate at 9 with roby?????

I don't say this to be disrespectful but Saints are a bigger team than Hudds, in fact a bigger team than my own Wire so players leaving to go there wouldn't surprise me.

I think the bigger club and knowing the coach well will make it hard to resist.
Brough is a bit of a journeyman player so could see him going possibly Larne Patrick.

This is all conjecture like, but i can see Brown trying to raid Hudds in some key areas that Saints lack a little.

I can see a bid for Eden being realistic, especially if any fee was reduced by players going the other way. But Patrick has just signed a long term deal and Brough would be expensive as well. I can't see Saints going Man City, despite the obvious need to improve the squad.

I thought McManus was loaded, it's about time he shelved the plans for cladding and bought some decent players, and not no marks like Hohioa

i reckon eden will be with us a lot longer than 18 months. Once Lunt went to Leeds that was prob nailed on. Nor will any halves go to Saints, nor any decent props.

Would not be surprised to see Brett hodgson go to Saints on a one year deal. Close to NB, able to play the fb role the way Nb likes it esp at 2nd receiver + top goal kicker.

Also brown admires briers. If he is ooc i can see a tempting 2 year deal being offered. All with no transfer fees so McManus will be happy.

Indeed if there is any truth in Wolves releasing harrison i think NB would look at all 3.

Patrick signed a long deal knowing NB was going and Brough is settled in Hudds is a friend of our MD and loves it at the club (it is not such a bad place).

the saints problem is that players like lance, perry, foster and shenton are earning for more than anyone else will pay them...off loading these players will be very difficult.

Can't see Hodgson going, the thing with Brett now is he needs to be wrapped in cotton wool, Wire have plenty of depth so we are able to rest him and bring him out when we either need him or he 's come through a game unscathed.

Playing Brett in a team which would want him on the pitch on one leg doesn't benefit anyone.

couldnt of put it any better.

You seem to think i was having a go, bit pathetic but...



...i'll humour you, Briers won't go after how he was treated last time regardless off if he still supports them.

Saints are a bigger club than both of us though regardless of current league position and if he went for Harrison and IF the rumours became the truth he would be daft to ignore it.

Saints have contested more finals than both of us combined.

I only use Hudds players and not my own BECAUSE Brown is your current coach and he knows what he'll get if he takes them with him.

I heard brown and hodgson have the same agent and I am sure that Nb knows how BH is physically. probably NB would back himself to get saints over the top of 7 or so SL clubs without playing BH, no bother. What he will want is: (a) a wise friend in the squad (b) a leader for the tough games (c) a gifted strike player and kicker for games versus the top 5 sides.

He may well go, it's unsure if Brett will be at Wire in 2013 anyway, but your veiled argument was a bit sad.

You seem to think that someone disagreeing with you is "having a go". That is pathetic.

The last time briers was at saints...was years ago. It is amazing how a tasty 2 year contract and a new coach can turn a guys head. brown will want a half with a top notch kicking game...that is why the Giants tied in broughy for 4/5 years.

i am happy, not sad at all.

What is veiled? NB admires Brett and lee. Both are OOC for 2013. Both deliver what NB will want. Also Harrison may amazingly be leaving the Wolves. Would think Nb would love to have Harrison and Manu in his back row.

Money is tight in clubs so OOC players will come first. The problem re hodgson for brown may be quota.

Eden, Brough, Patrick and Robinson all to leave to go to Saints ??

like that's going to happen !!

After so many years of average and loan players in our giants sides of the past , I love that our current players are desired by others. Another sign of our contiuned development as a club. Long may the envy continue.

Ps I started a thread on Wigan page to see what they thought of greg Eden considering they have seen Sam t development. They rate him and see his raw talent. No doubt the glass is 9 tenths full - a view that some of us on here should adopt more about him.

Tbf run leroy- there are only two on here who don't rate Eden......
