Oh come on, massive loss, get some perspective for heavens sake.

Before the unnecessary hand ringing begins might it not be worth seeing who the replacements are.

Also who is this person who seems to know what all the players are being offered, any chance of a name, just interested.

Thought with players under a certain age being OOC still meant a fee was payable to the club who trained them up.

Can’t see it but I don’t know.

Yes but i cant post it on here. Will be at Huddersfield on Friday, nip over and see me

No rumours spoken on here, just the good honest truth, honest.

Aydin has paased that threshold.

With Eseh, Shaw etc coming through I’m very confident we have still got a great crop coming through. I’m disappointed that Aydin is leaving, I really rate him. Did I think he would be the next biggest thing, No, but I thought he would make a solid SL player for us. Good luck to him. I’m fairly excited as to who we bring in next.

correct he's not a massive loss, he's a massive prospect who will hopefully mature and come through. Making a decision on a 21 year old prop is a tough one when most props come into their own in their mid 20s. Hall and Murphy to me a still great prospects who I hope keep improving, the next season is another chance to kick on and let's hope there is no second season syndrome

Heard this was happening last week and have to say i'm quite annoyed with this one. I reckon he's got a good future ahead of him and to lose him thanks to a derisory offer is poor business. Wouldn't be surprised if Shaw is next.

He’s 21 years old and has almost 30 top flight games under his belt, he’s way ahead of most 21 year old prop forwards and will get better and better over the next 3 or 4 years.

Not securing his signature on a long term contract is a mistake and betrays the attitude toward home produced players. If he were a 21 year old being signed from the NRL we’d be offering him more money and a decent length of term contract.

It doesn’t matter who we sign, letting Yusuf slip away is a mistake

Turned down an offer from Leeds to go to KR.

I think he is a real loss to the club if I’m honest however he has to do what is best for him both financially and for his career development and sadly he thinks that is elsewhere.


Looks like Taylor will be joining to play 13 next year. I think Aydin could have been a regular fixture in that role for the club for a long time to come.

Sad to see him go I’ve no doubt he will go on to have a very solid career as a SL player.

I agree with you. Clubs take a gamble with all young players, it’s a judgement call. HKR clearly were willing to pay more, must be much more if it covers the cost of petrol these days.

Personally I think he has the makings of a solid SL player. I guess you could say that about Shaw. Eseh has the potential to be spectacular but it’s still a massive gamble. All the same clubs will be sniffing around bothe so the money for the young props obviously doesn’t split three ways.

It’s a shame but even Saints can’t keep them all.

Could you be more OTT.

Let’s visit this again in a few years time and see who got it right and who got it wrong.

Il tell you now the odds are not in your favour as this forum tends to get it phenomenally wrong most of the time.

I’ll ask again though I never get an answer from the experts.

Give me a list of these players we have lost who are now storming SL. Won’t take you long.

What’s OTT about it?

He’s one of the better young prop forwards to emerge in SL over the last 2 or 3 years and we should have secured him on a contract rather than letting him slip away.
