Its his agent pulling all the strings. It's common in rugby to talk to players that are still in contract even tho it's not legal.

Like I said, above.

At least you haven't been mocking anybody who suggested Puletua might be going to Warrington and bigging-up your "insider-contacts". If you had that would be embarrassing.

I know somebody else at the club, different to St Pete and they also didn't know anything about it. So it turns out it's TP's agent thats been doing that talking and TP has been keeping quiet.

It's called crying wolf. No-one believes Wire supporters' claims. So you all deserve to be mocked.

Well, you should believe this one, because it's true.

So were the ones about Graham and Sinfield.

I keep hearing this TP to Wire rumour, but honestly can't see the logic.

Surely we can at least match the offer (if there's been one) of Wire, given the high earners we're set to lose and I'm sure we'd be prepared to in the light of losing Graham, and I honestly can't see why, apart from a huge increase in coin, he'd switch allegience from Saints to Wire.

It's not as if he'd be making a step up.

Strange isn't it. Perhaps players now look at Warrington as a club to be at? Or maybe they appreciate the honesty and straight-forwardness of how they conduct themselvs in negotiations.

The word negotiations being the key word.

Both TP and saints will negotiate with each other, that's what contract negotiations mean.

Saints offer this, he asks for that and so on

Can someone please PM me about the mid-season signing too ?

CMP=twt_gu Newton is currently injured having aggravated a knee problem trying to get fit for Rovers' Good Friday derby against Hull FC, but so is Fa'alogo, the Huddersfield forward who is facing yet another lengthy absence with more hamstring trouble. Yet Fa'alogo, who is a probable target for Warrington now that Tony Puletua looks more likely to stay with St Helens if he does not head home to Australia, has been included. Interesting, maybe we have negotiated well...
