The rumour is that robbo is going to widnes- The reality is that widnes have enquired and robbo has said no thanks.

Fair enough. Brough going anywhere?

Nope

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.

Not touchy at all sweetheart. I have simply informed you of some of the 'rumours' about the widnes set up.

Seems you're not so keen on the rumours about the recruitment cock ups at widnes. Steve OC may have to pay dearly for this incompetence.

Very defensive

Lighten up people, Viva heard a rumour pretty much like the 100 other or so posted recently, its probably as factually correct as the others too

true...plus eden and fairbank new deals to keep them....like two new players right there

but space is available with a few of the top earners going.

mullally 6ft 5! big lad..lets hope he can be another eorl !

I am assume TONKS will be leaving as well. Signed on a one year contract to prove himself and has not played due to injuries.

Maybe in time with the right environment in which to develop...
People will come out with all sorts of figures about what players like Graham etc had achieved when they were Mull's age and how he is a bit short from being a truly top class prop but I know three things...
a) He's big
b) He doesn't slow down when he's running the ball in
c) He seems to be ambitious which should mean he works hard to get better.

I'll be honest... I'm gutted he's going for two reasons..
Firstly, I think he should have shown the club a little loyalty for all the support and development they have put in him. But he's gone for the bucks. Widnes offered him good money to stay and his mates have made no secret of the fact that Hudds improved on that offer considerably.
Secondly I think in two to three years he will be a quality player. Not straight away. He'll show promise but he's one for the future rather than right away.

I don't really wish him well for the future because I'm annoyed in the manner in which he has left. But there's no denying his potential.

Confirmed by Nathan the other night.

Is he taking him to Saints with him

what a nightmare tonks has had...feel sorry for the lad.

you cant have enough props in the squad maybe we should offer him a small 1 year deal?
