It is interesting reading the comments on other boards almost to a man or woman everyone is saying that he is a good signing for us.

Yes, I read what you posted and there was a very clear implication that League Express is sometimes 'full of hot air'. If you don't think we're full of hot air then that's good. But that's not how I read it!

Billy Bostin? An outstanding winger but isn't he a bit old?

You've got a cracker there. He may be 31, but he's possibly the quickest snr player at saints when he's out in the open, he also doesn't suffer too much with injuries.

Not only does he have the pace and hit excellent line in attack, he's also a real workhorse in defence.

People may not think he's as high profile as if you'd signed him a couple of years ago, but he's spent all this year playing out of position.

The only reason Saints have let him go is because they're short of money, heavy on back rowers (we've got back rows of Clough, Flannery, Puletua and Wilkin with two promising youngsters in Ashurst and Dixon), and light on props (Cayless is leaving at the end of the season and Hargreaves isn't really anything more than a squad man).

New Huddersfield Giants signing Lee Gilmour vows to fight for shirt LEE GILMOUR is determined to make a Giants back-row berth his own. But with the quality of the forwards already on the books, the 31-year-old St Helens ace knows he won’t be able to take anything for granted when he arrives at the Galpharm next season. The Giants had already confirmed the capture of New Zealand Test back rower David Fa’alogo from Australian NRL side South Sydney Rabbitohs for the 2010 Super League campaign. And the pair will add significant strength to a pack that is already holding its own this season. The third-placed Giants aim to secure a 14th win from 21 games at home to Warrington on Sunday. Gilmour is desperate to do whatever it takes to gain a forwards’ shirt next year – even though he has shone in the centres during his glittering career. “I do see myself as a back-row forward, and that’s where I want to play,” said Gilmour, who has sampled life in the threequarters with Great Britain, as well as at Wigan, Bradford and now Saints. “Although I’ve spent a fair bit of time in the centres, I don’t see that as being my best position, and I think Huddersfield already have some great options there.
