I guess it depends on if the club see any value in keeping a player or not - Smith didn't seem to be picking up the idea of standing around bored and kicking the ball away at every opportunity, whereas Tronc is/was an important part of the team line-up.

Will we get a fee? I very much doubt it. Maybe a pre-season game at Lang Park…

Based on Tronc's performances since his homesickness was revealed i don't thing Trinity would get much value out of him staying at the club.

A transfer fee would be welcome (at the very least Trinity should get back the costs of Tronc's brief stay), but the 'reports' thus far talk about releases rather than transfers.

wheres he staying in that very large building down west gate

If it's true and he's leaving after the Quins game I don't think we are going to see anything from him in his last games for us - far more important for him to stay injury free I would have thought.

Rumour on leagueunlimited.com that were interested in luke bailey but apparantly he's signing for saints next year, anyone heard anything?

Kear said on the radio tonight that we are looking for a player, but the problem is prising them away from their club, and that they all obviously want a long-term contract to make the move. But he also said he then has to consider whether they fit into our long-term plans, or if they could never be more than just a stop-gap measure and we would want rid at the end of the season.

Negotiations are still on-going, but he did say it is a question of when he goes, not if he goes.

Another excellent, genuine and honest interview with Kear - even when the "revolving door" (his words!) is getting a bit beyond a joke, listening to him talk about the club reminds me why there is still so much hope for this season.

Yeh heard he was on his way to saints. He's a top player good leadership skills etc, but for me on the downward slant of his career so wouldnt be to bothered either way tbh.

According to Leeds fans Luke Burgess may be on his way out of the club...could do worse, good potential. But I guess thats not what we really need right now, especially as we already have Gledhill.

Burgess is ahead of Gledhill.

Agreed, but not really a replacement for Tronc who was our front line front rower. I would like to see someone like Bryn Hargreaves come in, think he's a good player at 25 loads of time for improvement and doesn't get much of a crack at saints.

...oh and british, leaving a quota spot open for Finch next season

anyone see this guy play for your reserves he has just moved up to haven for a months trial
