Thought he should have brought heremaia on before 1/2 time yesterday when we had all of that posession on their line. He has better distribution than houghton and takes us forward much better

i said to the my old man when he came on after half time why is heremai just coming on now?? he speeds our play up every time and he is class near the opposition line!! gentle did not have a lot of options yesterday but made a lot of bad choices in terms of positions and interchanges.

Nathan Blacklock?

Hope not... Don't need another 30+ year old!!

Not Brough, but he would be another 30+ year old.

Big Willie.

We need: -

Big rough prop (maybe two)
Halfback
Second rower (Linebreaker)

From what I have heard it could be Willie Manu .

Manu for Tickle, yes please.

So that is why you stand like that.

Yes, was told before the game yesterday that Manu has told the club he would like to come back, and he isn't enjoying his rugby at Saints. The club are very open to the idea, but time will tell if it happens.

if we get manu back i hope we are not daft enough to pay a fee considering saints got him for nout!!

He didn`t want to go in the end . Shame he didn`t sign the offer straight away. The potential of Ellis and Manu in the back row would have been OK !

You're right mate, he didn't. After he signed the deal with Saints he told us he'd made a massive mistake and wanted to stay. Hull wouldn't have been able to do anything, but had spent his salary elsewhere already anyway.

Think the club would be willing to pay a transer fee, as he will probably come back on a lower deal.

I know Willie was upset he signed for Saints too early . His Tongan friends in Tevita , Sam Moa and Lauakai left the area. I played touch 2 years ago at YPI with Tevita running the games. The Tongans above and Motu where always there helping out and playing as was Willie.
They are a very tight knit group.

A small fee plus Tickle maybe ? That is what I`d go for . Tickle obviously is waiting on his options West of the Pennines.
