Well its traditional for Warrington fans to suggest Wire sign a top Saints player each year.


Either way we still need another prop, the question is who and from where?

Imagine if all the Saints players to Wire rumours were true!

They'd have Eastmond, Graham, TP and Roby!

Lomax to Wire will be the next rumour....you heard it here first

Chris Hill was a target but money talks doesn't it.

Darrell Griffin as well has been targeted but I can't keep up with who he choosing.

Griffin is going to Leeds.

You should take a look at our board then, fella. Some very rich people on there.

He cant have signed yet, thats not allowed. (i'm not that naive dont worry) but he does have time to change his mind should he look at Leeds wiganesque decline

We should have gone for Keith mason and then failing that moved for griffin. They are both big, strong, hard good working props.

fully agree mate, we should never have let mase the ace go

Rumour has you linked with Matt Cooper, I'm trying to find if it has any "legs" I'll let you know.

No quota spots.

Didn't he just sign two year deal with St George?

I was told we was linked to an Australian outside back a while ago, but we've not got any spots left so can't see it now.

I've heard saints are taking turns next year at playing in our vacant centre spot.

Lets face it, non of you lot can say with any certainty whether we're at quota or not.

Saints HAVE to have room for another signing and given how quiet the club is, I feel they've got irons in the fire still. We're heavily linked with all the players signing or resigning for other clubs, Hill, Griffin, Grix etc so perhaps we're throwing bids in left right and centre. Hopefully we'll hit a target soon enough.

Don't want Cooper though, he's too old and not good enough.

I doubt we will sign anyone else.

Cooper is getting on but he's still a very good player.

We will sign someone else. If Pryce goes we'll have enough cap room for a top international player, any upgrades for da youff will be negated by the likes of Frodsham and Armstrong departing.

I reckon Mac's going to throw a mega signing in just to make us feel better. Jamie Lyon esque. SBW would be my bet. He's clearly bored in Union.

We defo 100% have no quota spots left. Unless we pay a transfer fee for a player then our squad is done for 2012.

You can't say that. Graham, Eastmond and Pryce (Please stay Leon if you're reading this) and that's three of the clubs highest earners gone. Add in Hohaia and Laffranchi, neither of which were highly covetted by NRL or SL clubs and you've got at least 1 players worth of cap room. I'm not aware of any of our first team youth players getting new deals, so we can assume any that have will take the salaries of the likes of Frodsham and Armstrong who don't look to be getting new deals. It would be madness for the club to sit on that much cap room.

There are still a few Super League players that have not yet announced their futures. Griffin is one, although Leeds appear favourites. There are Ragiun and Mounis from Catalans, both high quality players. There is Ewan Dowes, a reasonable SL prop and certain an improvement to our current bench. There is also Steffan Ratchford who is rumoured to be joining Warrington, but they haven't announced that one yet. I fail to see how Warrington can be in a position to be offering more than we could as they are a couple of senior players ahead of us anwyay.

Cooper would be the best centre playing in Superleague. Even better than George Carmont who has been superb again this year.

How old is Cooper? Although its a while since i've watched NRL, I remember him being a pretty special player.

Carmont is a good centre who's maintained excellent form, Cooper would be a step up from there, unless age has caught up with him.

Now that flannery has re signed...

Do you never tire of the attention seeking exaggerations?

Nothing wrong with the first choice pack - providing Perry shows some value...

plenty going on in the halfs, Makinson/Shenton partnership a bit lightweight, and Wello may get found out?

thoughts?...

Not yet. And I'm not wrong either. I predicted a battle for 5th this season and that's where we'll be if we lose this weekend.

We're nowhere near a "battle" for 5th. It's a battle for 4th at worst, probably a battle for 3rd when we win this weekend.

Who is "battling" us for 5th spot? Cas? They're 5 points behind us.

More exaggerated nonsense.
