    It’s a no to Jones, no news on Fages (the longer it goes the more likely he’s gone imo), Holbrook and McManus haven’t sat down yet for his extension
    I can only see a preview of the Salford game there ... are you sure you've got the right link?

    It does appear that way ... the article when I read it went on past there weren’t many changes but now seems to have disappeared ��

    Its a really big positive in more ways than one if Holbrook signs a new contract and I reckon McManus will want to announce it personally in one of our June home games rather than through the media channels.

    So this is what I read yesterday! Quoted this time so it doesn’t make me look crazy!

    Meanwhile despite newspaper reports, former Grand Final winner Josh Jones will not be making a return to Saints from Salford.

    “He is a great player, but he won’t be coming back here,” Holbrook said.

    He also said there are so far no updates on Theo Fages’ contract situation after he was offered a new deal from the club, but is now able to listen to offers.

    And on that subject there have been no talks yet between the club and Holbrook, who is out of contract at the end of the year.

    But Saints boss is pretty relaxed about the situation.

    He said: “I said we would begin talks in May when asked it in the post match press conference at Easter - but if I had thought about it I should have said June really.

    We have offered Zeb a contract according to the League Express, but the quotes from Zeb suggest it’s a significantly reduced offer, and Zeb is weighing up staying and being part of the team vs getting more money from other teams. Sounds like he wants to stay though.

    Basically suggests Saints have targets but they don’t have a clue who. Jones mentioned again but also adds that Holbrook has denied it, and Chester Butler whose now signed for Huddersfield. So looks like the club are playing things very close to their chest

    The first couple of games this season I thought he might be worth another 12 month contract but watching some of the replays he's not been performing consistently since Percival got injured, maybe its because our attack has switched more on our right hand edge were Peyroux operates. I think a reduced contract sounds about right until we can get Bentley or Batchelor in the frame, its also possible Paulo could play on that left hand side.

    League Weekly has Swift to Hull and Fages to Cas or the NRL. Mind you it also says that Bennett is trying to take Walmsley and Thompson but Thompson has a new contract not likely to happen - so pinch of salt.

    Anyone heard anything about anyone actually coming in?!?

    Would be good for Leeds it's what they need, gale has suffered lots of injuries though

    Yes I agree I spoke to him the other week and he was hoping to be back around August time I can only see it if Leeds have offered cas a lot of money even given he's being out most of the last two years

    Remember last week the RL papers said we were after Josh Jones. JH put that in the bin quickly. Paper says Theo is wanted by Castleford! Well...
    Humans are more concerned with having than being.

    The bottom line must be that any signing is significantly better than what you have and on the SL list only Hastings has that potential for me.

    Few weird rumours knocking about at the moment. Anthony Gelling to Warrington, favouring that over a return to Wigan one of them. Jake Trueman to Wigan and Escare to Cas another. Also that we're going to lose Walmsley, Thompson AND Amor at the end of the season and that Holbrook isn't staying. We might as well close just play next season in the Championship if that's true.

    Well one that we cant afford to lose is Holbrook and I cant believe that the chairman would let the coach who is overseeing bringing the young players into the team , go.

    I’m not sure I buy the rumours doing the rounds, but I can see there being some big transfers this year. Both Wigan and Leeds (assuming they survive) will be throwing their weight around and no doubt Toronto will be flashing the cash if they get promoted, too. I can see there being a bit of a domino effect.

    I don’t think it would be a case if us letting him go. If he leaves it’ll presumably be because he wants to go back to Australia.

    Holbrook has said he is going to sit down and talk about a new contract. IF he didn't want to stay then what can we do ? It's not like we can keep him here against his will.

    The fact that he is sitting down and discussing a further contract must surely be a positive.

    Yeh i assume so pal. The article on the BBC doesn’t give much away but does say that it’s indefinitely.
