Gilmour for giants ? : Mon Jul 13, 2009 6:55 am  

According to League Express Lee Gilmour is heading to the Giants next Season.

A good signing in my book. Plays anywhere on the field can tackle and has pace.

we already have loads of second rows apart from the injured ones

If he is not good enough foir Saint Helens he is not good enough for us

Not good news for Walsh or Patrick i think.

Surely this means Raleigh moving up to prop.

Not sure what i make of this one - 2 or 3 years a go i would say this was an ace signing, now i'm not as sure - he's gettin on now and we have 2 or 3 young uns in the wings who i would rather see get a chance - but if he improves our squad in someway then i suppose he may be worth a 12 month offer while Patrick and Walsh develop a bit more.

Daz he's better than anyone you have in your squad now

Like all rumours of signings, when he has his piccy in the paper holding a Giants shirt, then I will believe it.

Till then, its more hot air from League Express.

as far as you are concerned...

Raleigh, Kirkmond and Crabtree are all better longer term propects in the 2nd row. Larne

And Wild with us, who is a cracking player. Plus we have Fa'alogo coming next season.

i cannot see us signing a 31 year old second row who occassionally plays at centre to be a first choice centre. Who will he be replacing Bruno or fatz, or jammer
