I got told today that saints are on verge of signing a Aussie fullback.

That would be a great move. Just look at how much Webb adds to Leeds' attack. Slater? Hunt?

i doubt it and i'd be disappointed on the lack of faith in our kids. That said at saints with pryce and wilkin helping the creativety i think he could be more successful at saints than his plays are at wakey, and he can kick (so surely cant be coming to saints)

If we actually signed Danny Brough he would be a stop gap.

Would he accept signing a 2 year deal in which he would be a bit part player, likely to find himself on the outside after a handful of games?

He would want to play every game, but Saints would want to bring through the kids.
Sorry this rumour doesnt wash. He is more likely to go to Wire who are in desperate need of a halfback with Briers being shipped out and Monaghan going back to Aus.

Re Pryce playing fullback. The Bulls and indeed GB have tried this in the past, and quite frankly Leon was appalling at it.
He has even played the odd game at Saints at fullback and been very poor.
His size is actually a hindrance as he struggles to deal with kicks along the ground, and he isnt the best leaper of a ball.

I have a sneaky feeling Saints may play Pryce on the wing against Hull, and play Eastmond in the halves with Long to give him game time.

We will never sign Danny Brough. He is simply not good enough.

I doubt that we will be signing an Aussie Fullback either. It would pretty much see the end of Wellens and I think most people would make sure Potter & McManus were hanging outside the town hall before that ever happened.

There are some good full backs on the market. Hunt at the Broncos is the best example. But guys like Stewart at Manly and Bowen at the Cowboys would probably be available. But again i doubt we are planning to sign any.

Brough certainly fits Smith's profile of it all about being about the team, doesn't he. Before you type these things, take a breath.

Wellens best is obviously behind him as soon in the world cup. Be surprised if u throw in a youth player to lead you around the field next season though.

Indeed, his latest signing who stuck 2 fingers up at the team that put up with constant injuries to sod off to australia was really for the team wasnt he!!
