| Quote: WidnesExile "Gilmour has been and is one of my favourite players.
I must admit when I heard we were signing him I wasn't impressed and didn't want him at the club at all.
How wrong was I!
His pace has been a revalation at 2nd row and brought a new dimension to our attack. But this hides the fact that he also tackles above his weight.
I think we will miss him and it's a big mistake letting him go. He's had another great season.'"
Massive loss for us next year. Huddersfield's gain.

| Gilmour is all class, still disappointed by the decision to let him go.
He's our quickest back rower and he hits the line bettern than any of back rowers. IMO, he is our best back rower and by a fair distance.

Totally agree mate.
Absolutely gutted that he is leaving and a big mistake on our part to let him go.On top of his attacking prowess,his defense,work rate and commitment are top notch.

| It's a shame to see Gilmour go as he's been a great player for us. I don't know whether he was offered a one year extension or not - I can't remember it being clearly stated anywhere - but if he was, and he turned it down, then I think letting him go was the only option. I think he would definitely have enough in him for another season but after that? I don't know. Two years was probably to long a time to commit. Plus we're broke and need to make savings wherever we can!

| The only reason I can see for this is the player wanted to leave or for making room under the cap.
Probably one of the most underrated players for saints and I was ecstatic when we made the signing as I always rated him.
Will be seriously missed. Clough is quality the rest should have gone before Gilly.

St Conroy in a make his own opinion shocker.
If we have a full squad next year we should go with Puletua, Wilkin and Flannery as our second rowers and loose. Cloughie on the bench.
We'd then have Ashurst, Dixon to bring into when neccesary to cover for injuries and to potentially develop in some lesser games. Sia can also play second row if injuries/form permitted.
Therefore Gilly is easily expendable. Would i keep him for another year like we offered, probably because of his versatility but it isn't as bad as people are making out.

All that of course is a fair argument, especially when McGennis who is supposedly better than Dixon and Ashurst will probably get an opportunity aswell.
But for me Gilmour is better than the lot of them. I'd also class Puletua more as a prop, particularly if we don't bring in another prop from outside the club.

| I said on redvee at the time it was a mistake, it still is that in my opinion.
Classy player, gives his all, wrong decision by the club.

| Gillie's not getting any younger - look what happend to Willie Talau.
BTW, I remember Cloughie getting a hat trick against Warrington last year when we really needed it with his hit and spin. Like many of our players, he seems to have bulked up beyond his normal game which has made him less impactive this season.
