The more this drags on the more ed off I am with Manu.



It's not like he's having to make a life changing decision, it's a job for the next two to three years. Does it really take more than a month to decide and inform the club?

Brough would improve us massively, he has a lot more to his game now than he did at Hull, you only have to watch the two games against us to see this.



I would withdraw the contract offer to Manu, he is taking the P**s.

I wonder,if this is the reason that some of the OOC players ,wont re-sign.



Didnt O'Meley say 'Agar was one of the best coaches,he's worked with?'

Manu is 32 and we offer BIG 3 year deal , I am NOT convinced full stop , is that why Saints offered 2 ?



Save on his contract and buy younger and develop BUT buy quality and a SL star already , IF we can.



It's like fantasy rugby league on this board

Agree Dave,



McRae said, he's been back & forth to Manu's agent,for over 2 months, still no joy.

Mcrae said it would be resolved by the end of this week so not long to go,although i think we all know hes leaving.

If it was that nailed on he was leaving, it wouldn't be dragging on so long would it? It's obviously a very difficult decision for him.

Clearly it has been a very difficult decision for him, the reasons it may have dragged on is simply the club did not offer him what he felt he was worth initially, hence improved offers etc, the fact it has dragged may imply he has been torn between offers, or indeed waiting for the best offer at this stage of his career.

Uprooting your family, children from school, leaving friends you have made over the years, expecting your partner to move to a different city and lose their job/freinds/social circle is not easy for any-one irrelevant of your career. Eight weeks to make these choices is nothing in comparison to the changes faced by not only a player but the players family.

O'Meley may have said that, what he meant was 'Agar used to let me nip off for a fag when I wanted'

Don't see the difficulty in making the decision whether to go to Saints or not. It's hardly far away, there's no need to uproot his family at all.

I certainly never meant to imply it wasn`t anything but a hard decision,however for both parties cocerned it needs to be resolved ASAP

If [irumours [/iare to be believed Catalans in the picture now

If [irumours[/i are to be believed, O'Meley refuses to play while Manu is still here due to an incident after the derby!

Basically, it's only 2 years, it's not a difficult decision. Catalan are here every other week, then school holidays they go see him. It's not that different from working away in somewhere like London, for instance.

Some people just don't like traveling that much, 4 hours a day would pee me off and living in south of France while my family lived in Hull will be a total no go.

Just another rumour I've heard, if Manu stays O'Meley goes to Salford.

If you work out the amount of time he'd be away from his family, it's not that much with school holidays etc. and again, it's only for 2 years.

Catalans have been in the picture as long as Saints, just hasn't been in the media or on the forums.

this is just getting silly now, should lock this thread until anything is anounced officially!

This board should have a like button

This board should have a rumours thread. Oh, wait...

Agree..



Never known a season like it, people appear to enjoy discussing the rumours more than the rugby, bleedin 'ell we are 5th in the league with a host of players returning from injury and we face Leeds next, yet spent all day yesterday discussing a hairy bloke with big shoulders, Wtf

I thought you would have liked being a topic on here Marfa

The talk at huddersfield is that Manu has signed for saints for 2 years

They got that from here. We've been talking about it for what seems like 2 years

Wrong.

He's really not.
