Travis Burns meant to be off to Leigh on loan according to Gareth Walker.

Maybe that's why they had nobody available to attend the disciplinary hearing

Probably cover for both Ridyard (rumoured groin injury) and Higham (potential 4/5 game ban), so makes sense.
Not fussed about missing out on Burns, I think he's overrated.

Ben Johnston. Talked to someone who knows him very well at the Summer Bash.

Covering for Luke Walsh for a few weeks I read yesterday?

Not even in Saints 19 man squad for the weekend, Wilkin is playing 7 instead

Well this halfback we're lining up must be some player given Leigh have signed Burns and Drinkwater in the last few weeks. Can't wait for the announcement now..

Have to say, it's making Ferres look rather incompetent. If Leigh signed one of them ahead of us, then fair enough as they will have some cap space available, but to sign two in a matter of weeks of Chase departing when we've been looking for around 8 months

That's the thing though BB, IF the one mentioned a couple of weeks back was Drinkwater and he has gone elsewhere, can we be sure there is still a definite target for halfback? As distinct from any other potential recruits who are NOT actually halves, that is...

I suspect we may not be competing with Leigh financially as Green isn’t as wealthy as Beaumont. That may explain why we keep missing out.

Well the upside is that just piles pressure on the Leigh Squad to perform in the 8's and while I don't expect an implosion like last year, it could affect performances in tight games!

Think there's just as much pressure on us as we're desperate to get back in SL.

Signed on loan for Leigh for the rest of the season

Most likely their 'brown envelopes' are bigger than anyone else!...Who needs a salary cap then!
