They aren't going to get that for him and they know it. However I would be disappointed if we didn't explore any and every opportunity to get him on board.

nobody would pay £1/2m for golden boy Tomkins, and he's not a bad lad like Chase (supposedly) is.

Didn't we pay over that for Westerman?

that was the figure banded around, don't think anyone other than club people really know.

Was close to the clubs biggest fee, which was £250,000? I'm sure it wasn't that much for Westy, but if it was I'd say Chase warrants a bit more then £100k, being the current MoS and having a fair few years left on his deal?

not if he wants away, he's hardly captured the form of last season thus far this, either.

I would say to sign the current Man of Steel for £100k is a very good deal for us.

Given their situation squad wise maybe throw sharp or ellis and Omeley at them plus a couple of quid then jobs a gud un

something tells me before next season we are going to be looking at headlines of Gaz Ellis type signings again tho that will blow our socks off again, maybe not time to worry as i must admit i do have more faith in our current gaffers than anyone since Arthur B

I agree, still think there will be a big surprise in store for us.

I reckon they'll be looking at 300/350 k for chase . We should offer something like 250k plus Ellis and I reckon Cas would accept . Wigan may offer a couple of there younger players plus cash also so then it would be chases choice .

Gotta be honest i think it will be more than one IMO, these guys dont give anything away till its done as far as i can see so far but just see a real air of confidence in almost everything they say or do on the subject of signings etc,

still a piece of me thinks Manu will stay too,like i said on here before when my mate asked him that same question in Manchester whilst he was signing autographs for kids he said " I hope so"
so do we Mr Manu so do we

Also having Heremia back on the field will be like a new mid season signing in itself, and if he can get back to anywhere near last years NRL form we have a top drawer world class larker there

You mean apart from arundell who everyone knew about for month before it was announced, and of course we'll all be shocked when we sign crookes from bradford

I'm not sure £100k is that much more likely than £500k, TBH, think they'll get better offers than that. A 26-year-old international halfback on the current market for less than we paid for Westerman, and around what we paid (depending on where you read) for 32-year-old prop Lynch? Don't see it. Brough cost £30k plus Kirmond mid-season in the last year of his contract didn't he?

£100k plus Ellis, maybe, but £100k on it's own and I think Cas would be stupid to go for it.

Ellis has already signed for Cas so he wont be able to be used as a bargaining chip.
