Yup, some interesting times ahead. Wigan, Saints and Leeds all have massive spending power given the potential departures due to players being off contract this year.

Indeed but we also have the added twist of Aussies/kiwis facing the reality of a weak pound and the county been crap and about to get a whole lot worse if camron and his goose stepping pals get in. England is not as appealing as it once was. Aussie is one of a few countries not have a crisis!

for what it's worth I can't see perry coming to sl just as he makes the step up to rep footy? but the sl is the only place a prop could get top wedge. very few props are well payed in the nrl, props and wingers get the scraps contract wise. so you never know, but I can't see it.

Perry has signed for next year and was making enquiries about bringing his dog over



Shenton is choosing between us and the Pies i'm afraid

name me a better centre then. If it's that funny you must think there are a few. Make a list?

What is this, an academic essay?

Here's some research for you - why would Leeds sign another centre when they already already have two, and now have three after bringing one back from rugby union, especially (taking your 'probables' into account) when half the pack is leaving?

Eastwood leaving already? Thought his was a 3 year deal?

Chris Flannery, based on the recent Saints -v- Leeds game.

in the mould of Tronc, found a better deal in Oz so is suddenly homesick

Wont you need two new wingers for next season? I think you should be looking for backs as your forward pack isnt too shabby IMO

Personally I think buying Australians is risky buisness, especially big name marquee signings in their late 20's/early 30's. I mean half of them come over as damaged goods, homesick or playing for a pension. That coupled with the weak pound will mean Wigan, Leeds, Saints might all be looking for talent over here

Lomax, Foster, Armstrong, etc, etc

ah here was me think we could chat rugby? Ah well

indeed but then again it's a rumour. If he doesn't want to play for Leeds then get ya self off. that's what I recon!

not realy pal it's a simple list, which centres are better than senior? it's an opinion on rugby, obviously you don't have one. As I said people will disagree but no centre is a stand out above senior. senior has been hot and cold this season but that's the team more than one individual. I'm just genuinely intrested to know your opinion.

Love that logic!

I agree with that, i have no respect for players who come here on undoubtably good wages to run back home as soon as a deal is offered

I think your wrong re tronc he went home not for a better deal but because the deal was good enough to go home. No way would he get more wedge than he got at wakey. it's a case of is it worth been in this $hit hole for the extra cash? I would think the same with Eastwood if true.

I assume you have your wires crossed here mate (misquoted), as it wasn't me who mentioned Senior. Read the post again!

Sorry my bad

why would he retire when he still has 1/2 blockbusting runs a season left in him?

Plus new coach for saints and potential new coach for leeds (McClennan's off contract) means lot's of potential change for 3 big players.

If they don't do it this year I reckon warrington will win the super league title next season.

Centres better than senior?

I'll chip in.

Matt Gidley
George Carmont
Martin Gleeson
Matt King
Chris Flannery.....

To name but a few. On his day a decent player but not the best centre in SL.

George Frickin Carmont. I've still never seen him play well. Gleeson too is anonymous, as is Gidley. Senior is better than all of those.

Senior past it. 1 season too many

Senior used to equal Rich Man's Scott Naylor.

Now he's just Scott Naylor.
