Bloody hell Pete. You can be a right depressing sod at times!



I want that big bloke in our team. I don't care where he came from, so long as he can play the ball, catch, pass and bash the living daylights out of anyone in front of him, he will be a success in my book. What a beast to have in the front line!

(So long as he's not a big soft mummy's boy under all that meat)

Size doesn't mean good player.

I'm doing few weeks off the booze so I'm little depressed.

It sure helps in a prop forward though! If he's an aggressive bar steward on the pitch as well then that's half the battle won without him ever playing the ball!

I'm willing to have a little bet with you

Do you remember Stuart Evans?
It didn't help him.


That aside I think it's something to be applauded and worth a try, but I remember reading on here how some fans were excited about Dom Brotherton.

Ive no doubt we will never hear of these two ever again.

You probably won't hear about Dom Brotherton as he doesn't play for Saints. You may hear about Dan Brotherton though.

That's him

but I doubt we will from what I've seen of him.

Yeah, he sounds total tosh:

[iDan Brotherton won the battle of the speedsters as Reece Lyne missed the high bomb it was gathered by Brotherton who beat two then stretched his legs to go 95 metres for the score.

The last word was Brotherton's hat-trick score in the corner after a good drive on his debut from 6 foot 7 inch Irishman Aaron McCluskey who got better and more menacing to the opposition as the game went on.[/i **

Utter rubbish. Both of them. Clearly.

Let's ditch them now should we?






** Taken from the Saints website. But I'm sure Rogues will suggest it's all a lie and Pete will say it's one thing playing for the u20s, quite another for the first team ...

I haven't seen McCluskey so haven't commented on him, but I have seen Brotherton and haven't seen anything to suggest that he is first team material.
What's your opinion of him?

Get Brotherton in the first team. He can run. It's a rare attribute amongst our backs.

So you want this bet saintsfan?

Hey, playing reserve grade is nothing like playing super league

He also BEAT TWO PLAYERS!!! How many of our backline can do THAT?

But he's got to be rubbish and so it doesn't matter that he can run 95ms and beat two men and score a hat trick. Hey. He'll never make it ...

Bet?

So do you think he is first team material from what you have seen of him?

20p?

(I'm soon to be unemployed again, you see)

Oh, you don't get off that easy



If I win the bet, you have to go out with me and do anything I ask.

If you win then it's up to you

Deal?

he wont play for saints first team he got a bit of speed thats all he will end up in the lower league for a season or two

A lot of Saints fans seem to get all excited with size or speed. It don't matter how big or fast you are if you can't pass, tackle, beat a man etc.

a lot of its what they hear of other people this lad going to be great and it turns out they are rubbish these two irish lads will be gone in 12 month but worth a try i suppose

I think saint just hope to get lucky with them

you could pick two kids off the street and hope to get lucky if they was 18 year old kids i say ya give them a chance but ones same age as moore and clough and the other is same age as wheeler foster and others

They hope they get lucky and get one or two good players on the cheap.

you got the last bit spot on two lads on peanuts to make up the squad numbers and a plus is they are irish

Wouldn't mind if they turned out as good as the last Irish player we had at saints, tommy martyn
