No idea what deal he will have left at Leeds but if the thinking is he has managed to bag himself a pay rise in Aus, there may be no "severance" payment at all. No severance and no transfer fee will have made the deal much more straightforward for all concerned.

I cannot wait to see the back of Ferres, he is stealing a living.

Let's put it this way, in amongst all the othr decisions that have been made in the last year, I reckon if Ferres is retained that would be far and away the worst one. Given he has been made captain on various occasions and plays whenever he is fit might well suggest he'll be retained...

I think the DOR will have quite a shopping list in the coming months

Typo corrected.

Lets hope its more "Merrin & Hurrell" types rather than the Netto Albert Crisby Ablett & Jjb types.

Oh please spare the thought

If we can show some grit and keep at Saints all game I’ll be happy. We could get walloped though.

The result probably hinges on what Saints dish up on the day rather than anything we do because they’re better than us in most positions.

We need Walker and Ward back on the park and fit.

Head says Saints by 20+.

Saints by 40 and this page to combust by full time.

We have been showing flickers of life but this is the hardest fixture in the calendar.

Bit worried, not gonna lie.

I think we have shown an improved attitude and work rate and defence. Attacking wise I think we look worse than we did at start of season.

What we can’t cope with is a few injuries from this one, be happy to get out with a 30 point defeat and no injuries. The key games are the home ones coming v Catalan x 2, Hull Kr, FC and home to saints on Thursday, week before Wembley- hopefully they rest Roby, walmsley and 8 others that night, we might give em a game
