    Would be both reasonably good signings. However, its a new centre we need and a winger with pace not two forwards. If we were going for a forward it should be for a prop such as Carvell rather than a second row forward.

    like it or not, we already have 2 wingers contracted for 2009 - we wont be signing any more unless we can offload either of the 2 we currently have. I agree that a new centre is top priority now though.

    The Daily Telegraph PENRITH are poised to release New Zealand second-rower Tony Puletua to join the English Super League.
    A member of the Panthers' 2002 premiership-winning side, Puletua is expected to sign with St Helens. His manager Allan Gainey is also holding talks with Hull this week. The release could be granted this week.

    Puletua is under contract until the end of 2009 but is likely to leave after this season. Asked would Puletua be quitting Penrith early, Gainey said: "There would be a very good chance. St Helens is very interested, as is Hull.

    "I have been given some assurances that, if we applied for a release, then it is pretty certain it would be forthcoming.''

    If released, Penrith would then have the money to chase a marquee player. "It's up to Tony,'' Panthers football manager Mick Leary said. "He's been with us for a long time but he may want to pursue his career overseas.

    "If they were to ask us, we could look upon it favourably. I've spoken to his manager but in the end it would be up to Tony.''

    If we were to sign Puleutua (!) for now wouldn`t we be over the cap? Would we offload a current player? If so, who? Scully?

    Whether people believe it or not, Adie Gardner is still one of the best wingers in Super League.

    Scully is on the cap, he's not playing for free. He might not be in the 20/25 though.

    I find that article somewhat ambiguous.

    End of second paragraph: "The release could be granted this week"

    Start of third paragraph: "Puletua is under contract until the end of 2009 but is likely to leave after this season."

    What does this mean? Are they going to grant him permission this week to leave at the end of the season? Does it mean that he could be released this week but is more likely to leave at the end of the season?

    Or does the journalist just not know what's going on?

    If we sign this puletua fella, does it mean the end of the road for Wilkin or Gilmour?

    And if we sign carvell, we'll have more than enough props.

    Surely not the end of Wilkin?

    Wilkin signed a new 3 or 4 yr deal

    The club won't let go of Wilkin. If it's a choice between him and Gilmour then Gilmour will go - he's still got plenty to offer but age isn't on his side (having said that, I don't think he's much older than Puletua).

    Would Puleatua count on the overseas quota?

    Oh yeah Wilkin did sign, but I can't see them releasing Gilmour. But saying that he wasn't up to his usual standards last year and is the same so far this year IMO.

    puletua is supposed to be well off form and nowhere near his former level of performance so I'm not too sure about signing him. would rather us sign an eager youngster

    According to David Howes website, Hargreaves is out of contract at the end of the season.

    They should get rid of him to be honest. In fact IMO we shouldn't have signed him in the first place

    Maybe, but tbh hes never let saints down, every game he plays he gets stuck in and he played a cracker in the wcc and in the cardiff game when he played loose against wigan.
