Strange I heard it was Mitchell Pearce

Makes a mockery of the 'we need to wait for the right people to come available' motto we've been hearing.

Will wait for the official announcement but I'd rather we gave McIntosh a game than waste good money on moves like this.

hope not dont want players like him at our club waste of money

I'd like to believe you honestly but it'll never happen.

It's only a trial. www.examiner.co.uk/sport/rugby-l ... e-10854173

From reading Jamie fosters social media accounts it looks like this hasn't happened just over the weekend and talks have been ongoing for a few weeks at least.
We are giving him a trial period which seems a sensible approach.
I'm not filled with joy at this prospect- but then again I'm happy to wait and see

Ryan Brierly would be handy with the loss of Robbo and a decent aussie 2nd rower

Always thought foster to be average at best from what I've seen of him, but then again I didn't think Ellis was a great signing, but look how that's working out. If foster can step up to the plate then its good for everyone.

las for another signing I'm hoping it's someone of a better track record, but its not the end of the season just yet.

The LE says we are sniffing round Brierly with Anderson denying it would be surprising if it was true. Like he's says we need a second rower and wing/centre. Read somewhere we are close to signing a present SL player from someone. We do have the space as foster will be cheap and if Kevin penny can turn it around then so can foster.

Saints fan here.

He was a classy finisher and his goal kicking was bang on. There was the feeling amongst the Saints speccies though, myself included, that he was much to focused on his business/es and not on improving as a player. He started to make defensive mistakes and dropping a few high balls.

Maybe he's got his head screwed on now and wants a second chance to redeem his career, after all he was only a young lad at Saints. Anderson will find out with him soon enough, but he'll be cheap cover on the cap for you at worst, like Dawson for us.

this is a TRIAL and if he impresses then will get a deal and we cant complain about that

the other naughton is a LOAN

so the money we have to make a permanent signing is still there for the right player (a second rower)

After he left Bradford he went to Hull Rugby Union who play in the same division at Laund Hill YMCA.

Exactly Brearley and just for the record 54 tries in 90 odd appearances is not bad going.He may just surprise some folk.
