Saints reported to be monitoring both for next season.



Are they off contract ?



What's the local view on them?



Possibility that Manu could return to Humberside for 2014

once his contract is up.



Thoughts.

Both gash, shouldn't be anywhere near a saints team, keep well away.

I have a feeling, that this isn't serious ... However after the Beaumont incident, I can't be sure

Bring your own through!! Leave our kids alone.

Rovers need to pay them what they are worth. No point in investing in youth and blooding them if you then let them go.

Don't be greedy, we'll take Green, you can have Cox.



In all seriousness though there will undoubtedly be interest from some bigger clubs, if you can hang on to them then that is better business than any other signing you will make this season. They are the kind of players you should be building your side around for years to come and you have to make it your priority to keep hold.

Blimy I agree with a hull fan well said sir

When they're out of contract the club don't always have much choice. If they're determined to go, there's not much to be sensibly done about it unfortunately.

They're promising young big strong forwards. I'd not be breaking the bank just because they're academy products. If we could find another Adam Walker for similar money, that'd be a win.



Edit. Manu is 34 already and looks less than the player he was at Hull, so that doesn't strike me as a great place to be starting recruitment.

Cox and his agent have already given Saints there word that he will join Saints unless KR or any other club stump up alot of Cash. I'm now hearing that Saints do infact want Green to replace Laffranchi.



Manu and Laffranchi, Foster and Hand out



Green and Cox in, i've never seen them play but they must be good if saints want new blood rather than giving Greenwood and Thompson more game time.

They have one thing Greenwood and Thompson don't and that is 1st team experience.

Green has 15 first grade games according to the SL website, Greenwood has 17, Thompson has 8 - only Cox has a meaningful number of games (42, which puts him roughly a season ahead) but from what I've read, hes the one with the most question marks! Personally I think Richards at Saints has the biggest potential out of the lot of them, but thats another matter for another day.



Regardless of how they compare to the saints youngsters, id rather hkr got the benefit of their blooding their own youngsters. Players transfer every year, so Cox would be one thing, but both would be a blow ... We could send you back Beaumont as comp if you like

I think we will pass on your part ex offer. Green is a must keep, Cox I could live with. Maybe he has a place at uni like Jon Wilkin had when he left us
