Can't see cats signing Fages, he's French and Catalans don't do French

unfortunately that has some truth in it.

I have thought for a while now that 13 might just be the place for Ellis to make his name. He is mobile, stocky, has a kicking game, and pace enough to play there.

Regards Hooker Roby played understood to Cunningham for a long spell, could not Leeming do the same, with game time in every match.

Time really for Robbo to move on to a less intensive level, he can not go on forever taking and giving what he does, He has been a terrific player for us, I hope when he does go he gets a good club.

Giants have no interest in Fages according to the examiner.

Enough interest to deny the rumour. They usually don't comment.

Lol he'll be ours next season now

I've seen how giants denials work out in the past

I'd be tempted to believe the Examiner on this one.

Quite agree about Robbo unfortunately hia passing has become embarassing of late

they dont often get it wrong

Maybe they have some interest in Hampshire, he is rumoured to be leaving Wigan, which I can quite easily see happening, He is also rumoured to be Cas bound but a deal is never done till it's done. I would say he has all the makings of a very good SO, he just doesn't get the game time at Wigan. I think he could do very well under Powell, but I would have him here tomorrow .

With all that's supposedly going on at Cas at the moment, Powell may not even be there, All rumour and such , just have to wait and see.

Hampshire is better than Fages IMHO.

Just goes to show that those on here telling us 4 weeks ago there were no good halves around were WRONG

Wasn't Hampshire in Wakefield's academy? I'm sure he'd be happier on the right side of the Pennines.

Not sure if he was Wakey academy... I presume he signed for Wigan at a young age... But he is definitely a Wakey lad.

Probably signed him up before the deadline

dont think the giants are in the market for a half back, they are happy with ellis and brough who are going very well at the moment and can only get better.

Who told you that Brearley?

I'd like to know if it's true. The sad thing is , It probably is.

T'was in the Examiner in an article about the Fages rumour.

So it's probably either a) made up or b) mis-spelled.

TBF the club would be bound to say that anyway. You'd have to have the man management skills of a Ralph Rimmer to say, at the most important part of the season, "Our half backs aren't good enough and we are actively seeking to replace one".

Good point.

I wouldn't think the club would get involved with a player that is considering taking legal action against his parent club.

A la kopczak?????

Once bitten Jools....

Maybe why they are publicly distancing themselves from him.

rangi chase now suspended by salford!

chase and brough for next season



on a more serious note, we should be in for flanagan whos out ooc at saints

Supposedly going back to Cas, possibly in exchange for Carney,

On a more serious note, we should be in for Hampshire.

I am probably in the minority but I think it's time to star bringing in more of the Academy .I have been watching for a while now and believe you me we have some real good prospects.
