FC fan here, i just wondered if you guys had heard anything on you signing him? As reported in our local rag Hull have offered him a deal but he is reported to have stalled on it and rumours are that its a 1 year deal when he is after a longer one and Saints are waiting in the wings to capture him. I'd be gutted if he leaves and can't understand Hull quibbling on his deal to be honest. Like i said i just wondered if you guys had got a whiff of any Manu rumours????

I would love Willie at Saints.

I love Willie.

Would an outstanding signing for you, forget his age, can't remember the last time he missed a game, best attacking backrow in sl who can play 80 mins and has good defence. Massive loss for us if he leaves.

Manu = Jonkers/Bennett

We have super Dixon and don't need him

A future Wakefield player if ever ive seen one.

We'd have the biggest Willie in the land. (again)

Over on Redvee there's some rumours that Manu and Turner will both be at Saints next year

I heard that the Manu deal is done..

Aren't we still within the anti-tampering deadline and therefore in breach of Super League rules by approaching two Hull players already?

Not that I'm complaining mind, but I wouldn't want to see us hauled over the coals over this. If this is true, we just have to hope it causes such a severe impedement to Manu's relationship with Hull, it's staff, players and fans that he is forced to leave them early.

With Flannery going I think Manu would be a great replacement...cant see us signing Manu and Turner though as we wouldnt require them both:

Soliola, Wilkin, Flanagan, Dixon plus Magennis who is really a back rower not a prop seems to me like we have enough cover there

Turner is a centre.

Swap you for Meli now if you like?

Couple of years ago maybe, we are rumored to have signed joe arundal from cas as a direct replacement and have Ben crooks (lee's son) who looks an exciting prospect a centre coming through.

You mean, the site that announced all but the cast iron certainty of Jamie Lyon's signature ... [ion the very same day that Royce Simmons was canned?[/i
