get the impression its dead, there has been no news for weeks, and London Irish have nothing to play for so surely they won't be bothered about keeping him to the very end of their season.

The deal will still happen, hence the loan move of Arundel and Pitts. Hopefully confirmation this week.

I never saw it but didn't AP say in his programme notes yesterday that a signing is imminent? Can't see him saying that if the deal was dead.

Not quite, he said Pitts and Arundel had gone to Bradford on loan to give them game time and that it frees up cap space and creates the opportunity to bring in a top quality addition.

He said the club want less squad players and to have more focus on top quality players who can influence games.

He is right yesterday we had Pitts, Arundel, whiting, Green, Colbon, Watts and Carvell all not playing, how much of the salary cap is that?

Top players in key positions supported by youngsters is the key and what the other top sides in SL do.

My bad then. Like I say I'm only going on what I've seen on Twitter, didn't buy a programme.

Just tweeted "not a very happy person"

Hope something hasn't happened regarding his move to us.

Maybe he's unhappy cos hes signed for us!

Radford's already informed him he's dropped when he gets here.

Wants to play left centre but has been told yeaman got up really early and put his towel out to reserve it

Lucky escape for him I would say Ben !

He said that when he bought the club, most of us have said that since 2006

Quantity , not quality , certainly seems to be the Hull FC way !

now the rugby union season is over for London Irish does anybody know if we can expect an announcement on the Sa signing this week
