I was just about to post the same. Amone would be the most realistic with him being out of contract. Holroyd I can't see because of the injury problems. I think with somebody like Dupree, a lot would depend on if he wants it or not and if they were prepared to pay up for him. I'll be honest, I don't think he's ready for that step yet. I rate him and what he brings but he just needs to start stamping his authority on the biggest games before thinking of NRL moves. It'll come no doubt about it but he's still quite an inexperienced top level player because of his time out of Superleague.

I wonder if the negotiator they've sent over is another of these NRL pillocks whose first approach will be: "Sending your best guys to us is such an honour that we were hoping you wouldn't even contemplate asking for transfer fees."

You'd like to think the club would put a line in the sand at this point with NRL interest in contracted players. It's hard enough trying to keep hold of players who are out of contract. Hopefully having a billionaire as an owner makes transfer fees easier to resist.

Having said all that we don't know how many of our players are only signing long contracts if there is an NRL clause in place.

i'm taking it with a rather large pinch of salt (more like an industrial grit spreader) given its come from serious about league. They've nowt better to write about, so just picked 4 random names to make an article

They've just ripped it from another site (surprise surprise). It originally comes from an Australian journalist for the Daily Telegraph. There is no way that guy is in England just to bring a pen for Lewis Dodd to sign a contract, so I'm sure he'll be talking to other players but I do think they may have thrown some random names around.

Due to the success of our forwards going over there I'd be amazed if the likes of George Delaney and Harvie Hill are not right at the top of their target list. Both look ideal for the NRL

Huge blow for Leigh with Asiata taking a huge deal at Hull FC for next season. If Amone goes back to the NRL as well, they've already had a glance in to how the pack looks without them and the replacements will need to be top class to make up for that sort of drop off.

Got Holmes as well but Leigh have re-called Chamberlain early from his months loan…nothing to do with Beaumonts rant we think.

They also mentioned on Sky about Adrian Lam following him to Hull with the potential to bring Lachlan too.

Interesting comments from Graham on NRL360
Said that Souths have made an illegal approach for Delaney and Saints are fuming.

the trouble is they can get away with it, especially now more of our players are getting Oz based agents to represent them.

i think we are probably all in the same boat. If a player gives his all for Wigan / Saints, and are offered a gig in the NRL, then whilst we are disappointed they go with our best wishes. If they are getting tapped up or down tools then they quite rightly get abuse from the fans. We had KPP leave last year, we knew he was going, and he went about everything in the right way and performed on the pitch, however prior to that Gildart appeared to down tools and his attitude from a fans perspective looked poor so he got quite a bit of grief

Chan coming on loan to Hull this week, can he play backrow, that probably where we are weakest right now?

I don't think Souths or any NRL club will be bothered. They will carry on approaching who they want as they don't respect anything over here.

Chan two week loan to Hull FC
