Scott Moore : Wed Jul 22, 2009 3:16 pm  

Does anybody know what the chances are of us signing him when his loan ends? He's been a massive part of our success this year I reckon and it would be fantastic if we could make him a fully fledged GIANT!! Will Saints want him back next year when they've still got Roby, Cunningham and now this kid Lomax?

Moore will be back at St Helens next season, he has 1 year left on his contract. The agreement was for 1 year only.

Cunningham's set for retirement (although don't rule out a u-turn) and Lomax is a half back, really (although he may be ear marked as a replacement for Wellens at full back).

It's not unheard of for contracts to transfer to other clubs etc. Do Saints need/want four hookers?

In the RL press a few weeks back it was reported that Saints had gotten a little miffed at the Giants for making eyes at our hooker in the making and they stated quite clearly that not only did they want Scott Moore back next year but that he would be back next year. Meanwhile, poor ole Matty Smith is still waiting for a word, down there in South Wales.

So, my guess is that Scott Moore will be returning to Saints in the off season. Whether he will stay beyond his final year is another matter but by then you may have found someone just as good. So far as I know he is being considered as Cunningham's replacement. We still don't know whether Cunningham has decided on another year at the club (I think he is still making up his mind) but even if he does decide on another year, Potter is at our place to integrate and bring on our young players, so now would be the time to integrate him into the team in preparation for when Cunningham hangs up his boots.

Nathan Brown has employed a hypnotist to 'unlearn' Scotty Moore in the hours before Mad Monday.

Don't worry Shaun Lunt will step up to the plate once more next season. He keeps improving every season and he will be a like for like replacement for Moore.
