    You serious? Mid season walk out would be highly unprofessional and unprecidented.

    WALK TALK AT TITANS

    WE KEEP hearing Anthony Laffranchi is a cranky Titan and it relates to the club throwing big dollars at rival players in his position. There has even been talk of a mid-season walk-out. It’s one to keep an eye on.

    Anthony Laffranchi poised to sign with St Helens as Titans close in on Nate Myles's signature

    By Matt Marshall The Courier-Mail May 02, 2011 11:47AM

    Ex-Test forward Anthony Laffranchi is poised to sign a lucrative English deal with St Helens as the Titans close in on the prized signature of Maroons Origin star Nate Myles.

    Laffranchi, closing in on a return from an ankle injury, is expected to announce as early as this week that he will end his 11-year NRL career at season's end to link with the British Super League giants.

    And Gold Coast, who have already snared Kangaroos Test rookie and Bulldogs star Jamal Idris on a long-term deal, are close to securing another major coup by poaching Myles from the Roosters in Laffranchi's place.

    Myles, 25, was last night omitted from the Australian team to play the Kiwis at Skilled Park on Friday night.

    The 2010 Four Nations squad member is set to face a further blow today ahead of a likely dangerous tackle charge. Myles was placed on report for a lifting tackle on fellow Test casualty Greg Bird in the Coast's 24-13 win on Saturday night.


    While reports have suggested a disgruntled Laffranchi will walk out on the Titans mid-year, upset at the amount offered to him by his club while they instead go hard at Myles, he is expected to play out the remainder of the season at Robina.

    Myles, a key figure in Queensland's historic Origin five-peat, is expected to exit the Roosters a year early and form a lethal backrow partnership with Bird on the Sunshine Strip in 2012. Bird is happily settled and is midway through a four-year deal at the Gold Coast.

    Bloody hell. Lafranchi was a "local" junior. Part of the reason why the Titans exist! This is very destablising for our club, when we need to band together and fight our way out of this.

    Say it aren't so!

    Royce Simmons tweet at about 2pm AEST suggests the deal has been completed.

    "late night update for Saints fans, all but confirmed that we've signed Laffranchi"

    Not cool. Looks very likely that we will lose him on that type of news.

    Good news for Laff, he would be getting a fair few dollars.

    So that "deal" mentioned is for next year? Is that right?

    A much better player than Harro and Mini and even myles - he has been poorly used here as a up the middle battering ram the last 2 years to cover the poor work rate of our props (especially when Bull was out) rather than a traditional second row.
    Look at his stats outworks everyone as well as scoring tries and producing the most offloads - will be sorely missed although we have already missed out his best due to Carty's game plans

    I had noticed his game hadn't been the same the last few years, but I didn't think about it that way. You are probably on to something there and if that's the case he is better off at another club that would use him the way he is meant to be used, which makes me sad.
