From what people have posted so far he sounds like a good signing for us as long as he wasnt brought in as a direct replacement for Jammer.

I know some players earn good money away from the game and maybe thats his reason for sticking at Leigh, will be interesting to see if we pursue it

What's important about props is that you have a good set.
Look what happened to our game when Graham and Tony were off the pitch against Wigan.
Wigan won the league with a modest yet determined set of 4 props.

Realistically, if we could start a game with Perry, LMS and Puletua on the pitch with Clough and another good superleague standard prop on the bench we'll be absolutely fine in any weather, especially with the way Soliola's supporting them.

Yeah , the trick will be keeping Perry fit it seems. Chris Hill sounds like he could be a gamble worth taking, if he's as good as the Leigh fans say and he makes the step up we could end up with a gem.. and he's not an Aussie !

he actually started off playing at st pats but dont know when till. played with him for the wigan town teams when younger but he was a year younger but played at our age group. he is a very good player!

Chris Hill would be a great addition to our pack from what I have seen of him. A real grafter and he has good ball handling skills as well for a Prop. It would be like a duck to water for Hill in Super League and I think he would be a fine signing. McManus take note!!!

If anyone's interested to see how good he is it might be worth a few Saints fans going to watch him next friday against a form Super League team in Catalans. I know i'm intrigued to see how he does.

I'm guessing it's in Leigh and not Catalans. Time and date?

Have we actually signed him?

No.

Thing is what people forget about Chris Hill, is that he used to play centre and back row, hes a very agile forward. Also he played super league at 17 in a struggling Leigh side. The guys no replacement for Graham but would be a good signing for you guys, but would he come to you on a 1 year / 2 year contract, time will tell?

I hope saints don't sign him. I don't think he's going to make a top super league prop.

The silly thing is, we let emmitt go who was showing signs of being a good young prop and then we are after hill.

I just hope if we do sign him then he's on buttons.

Friday 20:00.

He's a far better player than Emmitt, quicker, better ball handling skills, equal to Emmitt on defence.

Disagree,Hill has far more potential than Emmitt.
Unfortunately I don't think we'll sign him,wish we would though.

What is with this love in for Emmit? He was never anything more than a borderline solid squad player with us and is nowhere near as good a prospect as people make out.

This Hill character is an unknown to most of us. He obviously has potential given there are rumoured to be several big clubs interested in him. A step up to full time training could bring the best out of him.

I just think emmitt was looking very good and had potential to be a good solid prop for us, much like the love in you had for eastmond really.
