He already knocked back a huge offer from Saints in 2004 and after all the troubles he had with Canterbury he will have probably regretted missing out on that deal. If SBW is willing to take up a huge offer playing Rugby Union in France, I'm sure he'd be just as tempted to play Rugby League in England should the money be right.
His choices are limited anyway. I seriously doubt him going back to the NRL in the near future which means his only options are Super League and Rugby Union. If we get rid of Phil Bailey, then that's a second rower, quota spot plus over £100,000 free'd from the cap hence why it wouldn't suprise me at all if we went for SBW, but only for 2010.

Why?
transfer fees dont count on the cap, and if anyone believes we only have £20-30 k left on the cap they are gulable to say the least. There is no way on earth IL will reveal in a public forum the real amout of money we have left to spend.
regarding gleeson, would welcome him with open arms, but not at the expense of goulding, who as many have said on here needs ntime and first team games, think a loan spell would do him a power of good

im aware the a transfer fee does not go against the cap. just commenting on the facts that we are aware of
If the deal happens I would have thought it'll be friday when released, both clubs will want until the last minute to squeeze the best deal out. I think it will still happen.
