| Mullally, currently at Haven, is a major signing and also probably was helped re Kevin Brown going in opposite direction
Walker has a bad agent & by all means could end up retiring as no money in the sport
Ferres is indeed signed up
Tommy Lee & Scott Moore fighting it out for our 1 space in hooker role next year
The 2 key players at Bradford (Whitehead & Bateman) are Warrington bound
If I was looking at any of the halves at Bulls, I'd look towards Gale. Crookes could be worth a look also plus Scruton always looked the real deal at Leeds/Hull previously

| Quote ="jakegiant"So we know
Kevin Brown to Widnes
Lee Gilmour to Castleford
I have been informed by a reliable source
Keith Mason is in talks with Cas and another club as has been told by the giants if he can find a deal elsewhere he can take it
Scott Grix is in talks with Widnes
Danny Brough is going no where
Adam Walker rejected a new contract from us and has not been offered one by anyone else so could find himself in a tricky situation
We have signed Anthony Mullaly who rejected a new contract from Widnes, spent last year playing for brisbane 20's. 20 Year old prop, waiting to be announced
We are no where near the salary cap and i would presume will be monitoring Bradfords situation as another 2 props maybe ideal for us. Kopczak/Hargreaves maybe? Luke Gale to replace grix if he goes?'"
Yes I heard the same about Scott Grix, heard Widnes asked if they could talk to 2 more of our players. Grixy being one of them and I just hope the other player told them where to go. I'm not naming him as we don't another thread like the Broughy leaving one which was total garbage!
Nobody has mentioned Lunty though? Won't he be fighting for a hooking role next season or have we written him off as a Leeds player now?

| Jake you forgot to mention Robbo and the clubs he his talking too.and why would players walk away from good Contracts surely if the club are telling players to go they have to pay them off.

| Boyd. Yes i have also heard Robinson is in talks with widnes aswell
I am also led to believe we offered Robinson and Mason for Darryl Clark to cas
Not sure whats going on but looks like there could be loads of changes
Brown/Gilmour/Robinson/Grix/Mason - If all these go we would have some massive space on the cap to sign players
We dont need bateman or whitehead its props we need.
burgess/kopczak/hargreaves/scruton id take any of them preferably the first two though
Ferres is a poor signing in my eyes

Yes ok then it was Robbo who Widnes asked about. Like I said, I hope he told them where to go.

| Reality Check:-
Sammut isn't good enough if we are ever gonna do owt, stand off is a major position and we need a proper class player to compliment Broughy.
Not seen much of Gale so can't comment, things in his favour are he is young and he is English, Grix ain't a standoff and if cant get anyone else just yet we could do worse than giving Briers a season, least he still has it upstairs and has the win at all costs mentality needed.
Scruton isn't good enough and wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. Need to get nasty, aggressive mobile prop forwards, mason hasn't had the chance this season and Brown has stifled his aggression too much, we are too soft at the moment.
Getting Lunt back is a must and he is a hooker not back row forward, Tommy Lee is worth another year IMO.
To sum up, next season we need aggression a plenty, big fast mobile aggressive pack, Broughy and a top class standoff pulling the strings with Eden chiming into the line at regular intervals. Wardle and Cudjoe(a confident Cudjoe) in the centres and George and Jerry scoring for fun out wide.
Let's not sign lots of mediocre players, let's sign 1,2 or 3 top class players.

But is that NB or PA making that decision? I hope its NB and we get back to having a bit more muscle up front!

think mullally will be a good signing in the prop department for us... widnes were desperate to hold onto him.
ferres seems like a pretty average player...guess it counts for him that hes english and young which is what the giants want.
tough to choose between moore and lee at the moment, looks like lunt wont be returning (more space in the cap!)
DONT LET ROBINSON GO ANYWHERE.... good job widnes told him to forget the kev brown deal!

no probs fella --such an array of motivating hookers -its fine to release him to one of our rivals !
and the space in the cap aint no use if it isnt used wisely so once again - watch this space !
In reality you win matches with players on the park - not money in the bank

| I wish people would stop thinking there is cash left in the salary cap. Please remember that a lot of our players have been receiving long term improved deals for them to stay

| Heard we are getting Robinson aswell. That would be a good signing. Reminds me a little of burrow at times.
Mullally is hit and miss. Clearly thinks he's bigger than the club after all the chances we've give him. Betts did say he's only in the widnes team because he's a widnes lad and if he was elsewhere in superleague he wouldn't be playing first team. Got to agree with him on this. Nothing spectacular but he's 6ft5 and only 20, room to develop.

It's a rumour I've heard is all, never said he has signed, just rumoured to. And if your on about the Anthony mullally situation I'm sticking with it, ask any widnes fan, huddersfield can do better from within their ranks.

The rumour I heard is that betts, TOC, Cullen are desperately talking to everyone - though not always eachother No one quite clear on the priorities or the finances.
The rumour I heard is the desperation to get Kevin Brown has back fired at widnes. The large transfer fee paid to the Giants and the large salary for brown has become a benchmark for other potential deals. Widnes talk to clubs about players in contract and are asked for large transfer fees....they 'chat with players' and they want contracts comparable to brown..
Only rumours mind....
As for Mullally I would back Anderson over betts when judging a good prop.

Very touchy with a Devine sense of bitterness. Lovely.
I states a rumour which is incorrect but bloody hell you lot get defensive don't you?
And from what I've heard, this large transfer fee for brown is nowhere near what people think.
I hope mullally does well just can't see him making your team next year.
