like I said mick it depends how mercenary saints are. They are running a business at the end of the day and will want as much money as possible. Doesnt really matter that they have lomax and eastmond on the books other than meaning they will consider an offer rather than dismiss it out of hand. they have a new coach coming in and they might like the idea of freeing up a significant amount of salary cap space and having a large transfer fee coming in to allow him to bring a fresh face or two in.

We wont pay Saints 200k for Pryce.

The more I think about the idea of Leon signing for the Bulls, the more I think it has serious grounds for possibility.

If Orford is leaving (which I have to accept from what I'm reading, may well happen) then the Bulls will undoubtedly have the finances and the ambition to recruit a senior half-back. Leon Pryce doesn't only fit that bill, he's nigh on perfect for it. Especially when you add the fact he's home-grown, trained by the Bulls, still lives in Bradford etc etc. He's a Bradford lad and I'm sure he'd jump at the chance to come back 'home' and play 6.

As well as this, no-one knows what Royce Simmonds wants to do at Saints, he may well like the idea of Lomax/Eastmond and with Leon only having one year left on his Saints deal, he may be looking for a last big contract somewhere, because I highly doubt he'd get it at Saints. They have a greater abundance of riches in the halves, sadly.

I'd certainly take Leon as a replacement for Orford. The dream would be to get them both together, but thats probably being a tad too optimistic!

Who? Fess up.

Who C'mon tell us?

The biggie signing has TBA as quickly as possible the signings so far have been solid but not spectacular.

Leon is a good player and ticks a lot of boxes, but if we lose Orford we still need a good scrum half who can move us round. Leon is not the player for that role

Indeed, I don't think anyone would suggest he is. But fact is we also need a stand off.

Losing Orford will be a big mess all round. Leon would be the "fan pleasing / appeasing" signing but not the key one we would need. The scrum half replacement needs to be a good one........

Shame we can't ditch Glenn Hall and have two quota spots available, as he's not really justified his place in the team never mind the quota spot he's also taking up.

Matt Diskin.

That's not the name I mentioned earlier by the way.
