Beware what you read on our board... many there have been critical of Wanes appointment from day one. They are the most vocal on there, and will batter anyone down who promotes a balanced view.



Hampshire played in the halves at under 19, and is clearly very talented. But, when is the right time to play him there in SL, dunno. He is certainly growing in confidence at Full back.

What happened to all the Lunt love? People were practically staining their trousers over him when he was at Leeds. Then followed much abuse when we went for aiton instead. Why is he now not good enough? He showed last time he can do it. Also, most people thought aiton was a meh signing at the time but the coaches have got the best out of him and then some.

For Wane read Mac on this board

And now Cunningham on the Saints site. How many times have we heard the no plan B rubbish. I know it's cr@p but it still gets regurgitated fans of ALL clubs.

None of them on this will come in. Brierley and Ballin, Brierley only if Leigh don't come up.

So Ballin for hooker,Brierly for long term replacement for Burrow/ McGuire ?

Ballin seems to want to a stay a one club man according to his interview a few days ago

Correct he did, but this has been said many times and they've already signed two hookers for next season too. He'd be a stop gap for two or three years. Heard he's our man for the 9 shirt.

No complaints from me if true. Will give R Ward .Year or two to see if he's ready or good enough for Leeds.



Not someone I know much about though, opinions on him ?

He's OK but not a stand out. Probably similar to Aiton in many ways. The sort of player that would be good as a short-term filler. He also comes from a club with a win at all costs culture, which is a plus. The main downside would be if he's peed off with being forced out at Manly.



I personally think we have enough overseas players next year. I'd rather go for Lunt on that basis.

We seem to have good luck over the last few years with signing players in that category who surpass expectations . Aiton, Cuthbertson and I think it's fair to say Garbutt didn't have much hype.



hopefully Ballin (if true) and Mullally will do as well.I am looking forward to seeing Galloway in our forward pack next season .
