Take a Chill pill man.

There is always the possibility a player wants out.

That guys off his head. He responds to every post on here in a split second. I'm sure he sits there on his PC just waiting for someone to post so he can shoot them down.

He needs to get a life.

New Physio Nathan Mill from the Giants. Interesting article in parallel. http://www.examiner.co.uk/huddersfield-giants/huddersfield-giants-news/2012/09/20/nine-huddersfield-giants-facing-surgery-this-summer-86081-31871299/ Does not inspire a huge amount of confidence.

You lost me for a moment there, then I got the drift. Although to be fair our conditioner last year was getting it in the neck for the injuries.

If Manu was the direct replacement for flannery like you posted above, then obviously you know more than current saints coach Mike Rush who made the comment on the radio this week.

It was also interesting hear Mike talk about how Alex walmsley caught saints eye.

So you reckon Manu was signed maybe to play #6 or #1 then? Manu will play SR in Saints's starting lineup making him of course a direct replacement for Flannery - not as like-for-like player style-wise maybe, but certainly as a body in the first team. Our (probable) pack for next year:

Perry
Roby
LMS
Sia
Manu
LaFrank

Clough
TP
Wilkin
Flanagan

+Walmsley, Hale, Forster, Greenwood, etc.

Do you see any space in that lineup for or necessity for the signing of another big wage SR? If Perry or LeFrank (for the sake of argument) sods off in the summer then we need another prop, and ideally a better player than Moon, from the quota to replace them, not another SR. If Hohaia goes home (and I'd happily pay his airfare if he's thinking about it) then every single cap penny we had would need to go to an NRL half, not a SR. He'd do a good job at centre for us but again half is our screaming priority now and any quota or cap space we have available or that comes available would need to go there.

No I can't see any reason to sign another backrow but obviously Mike Rush and Nathan Brown must do as he said the will be another signing and will be a direct replacement for flannery.

Unless Mike Rush is thing lies.

Was it stated that Nathan Brown had any input? He's in Australia at the moment isn't he?

Unless Mike Rush is thing lies.

What? Mike Rush not being direct when interviewed by the press? Never!

I can't recall word for word but he certainly said " direct replacement for flannery"

The story with Alex walmsley - Mike Rush went batley to watch gaz frodshsm who on loan, this guy came off the bench and just smashed through he defence few times. He went watching him again and same thing, few more scouting trips and we made the move for him.

Might be the best thing Gaz Frodsham did
