It's in League Express that we've signed a hooker from Super League. People on Redvee are saying it's an out of contract player from this side of the pennines. Which only leaves Logan Tomkins and Tommy Lee

Surely to god we've not fallen that far? I'll be getting a block from the Saints Twitter feed if it's another shocker.

Salford captain - Tommy Lee

#beinthatnumberanddontbothergoinganymore

It can't be true, I'm not having it.

Tommy Lee it is people, get down to KR early to get your spot in the queue for that season ticket renewal, there's bound to be a rush on

It's a shame you are bagging him. I like Tommy Lee. He's a true professional and will give 100% every game. Too many of that type of hard working player aren't valued.

Was he second choice to Leuluai?

This type of signing is fine but only after you've got the couple of big ones in the bag you need.

It's not ideal that it looks to have come out because had it been announced after you confirmed a couple of signings that would excite people everyone would say he's a solid squad player.

Spot on.

If he turns out to be one of 4 or 5 signings and the others are all of a higher standard (no disrespect intended) then we could stomach it and understand it.

But the fact he is the first signing to become public is an extremely underwhelming start to our recruitment for 2017 and will do nothing to lift the current mood of the fans. Awful PR from the club to allow this to be the first bit of news that is coming out.

Why not just keep hold of Dougie Charnock & forget about Tommy Lee? Typical bargain bin saints signing. I think we are addicted to signing cast offs and trying to make the old dog do back flips. Garbage Saints as usual

He wasn't even one of the big names in the Salford "Deviloution" announcement a few years ago, he, jason walton and greg johnson were the chaff that came with, smith, chase, morley et al.


You know what, as a wire fan, i've took the high ground and not been too amused at the 'transitional' period saints are going through, but this is pretty , and hard not to laugh at.

Astonishing in announcing this before there are better signings confirmed and the last 2 matches to play. What can they be thinking. I've already decided not to renew but this decision and the May it's been mismanaged only helps to reaffirm my position.

My thoughts exactly, the club have messed up the development of quite a few younger players and Charnock is one of them, always puts in a solid performance when wearing the No 9 shirt and should have been coached towards improvement.

Lets be honest, if Kevin Brown and Tommy Lee are two of our 5 signings this year, with the potential that Matty Smith could be the third, I really do think that the club have completely lost touch with its fan base.
