Might be worth getting shut of Perry , Hohaia and Le Frank before getting too smug at Wigan.

Having a reserve hooker of Howarth's calibre and still having the likes of Gardner is nothing
to shout about either.

When the trophies come back and Saints play with flair over a period earns the right to be
become cocky again.

We don't go trying to put down players on their board though. If he wants to have subtle digs at our players, it's only fair we point out the puddings Wigan have.

Also Perry and Hohaia are off and Howarth isn't actually a Saints player. I'm not sure Gardner is getting an extension either.

What's that got to do with Beaumonts poor tackle that allowed a scrum half to pull him over the line?

Nothing, apart from you're a boring old trout!!!!

Your getting boring. You come on here and wreck every thread. If we signed Thurston on you'd be on here telling us he doesn't tackle.

You just worry about your team.

If we can't get a stand off (or manage to find an English one) but can still offload Hohaia, use the quota spot on Kafuso (Kafusi?) from London. What a pack we'd have then!

If Salford get Chase (and/or Tim Smith), palm Hohaia off on them and bring Sneyd here.
Walsh plays 7 with Sneyd partnering him, backed up by Wilkin, Charnock and Wheeler.

Don't know why everyone got so wound up about this, if it is a snipe it's a weak one. I can't think of many players who've never made a poor tackle. Unless it's a major flaw in Beaumont's game and indicative of what we can expect every match, I wouldn't worry.

I for one am glad we're giving British forwards a go. Is he going to be on the same sort of money we'd have to tempt an overseas forward with? Unlikely. At the start of the season I doubt many people would have expected Walmsley (including himself, if you read his interview in Friday's programme) to make the impact he has. Let's hope RB can make a successful start as well - he must know he's got two sets of fans watching his performances now.

Was thinking the same myself Kafusi(sp) never took a backward step and at a big club could become a good enforcer prop we could do with

Apparently he's OOC.

I like Kaufusi, really put himself about on Friday night. I was surprised he left the NRL in the first place really.

Because Rogues is a boring old troll who most of us are fed up with . He spends more time here and on Redvee than he does on Cherry and White which just shows his obsession. He has been a little more subdued since the wheels have started falling off the goons bandwagon though which is a blessed relief.

No I don't

If you think Beaumont went o.k yesterday then fair enough. The only time I really noticed him was that poor tackle attempt that cost a try or do you not think anyone should comment if they see something that no one else wants to see?

Very Good Shout.

Kafusi or Amor at Prop would be great.

Syned as a 6. After recently signing a contract at Salford ,rumours of him being palmed off on Cas
for a year as part of the chase deal. He would be ideal for Saints. Really rate him.

Palm off bionic Wheeler to CAS in lieu of Syned for a year would solve another problem.

Perhaps, if Wheeler is fit at the beginning of next year, we should send him far away on-loan to a club with a no-nonsense coach. Out of his comfort zone, away from his friends, family and any old habits. That way he's got nothing but Rugby to distract him and 12 months to save his career (whether it be for us or anyone else).

You can big him up all you like Beaumont was poor again yesterday and gets in the team because of injuries we lost Scott Taylor last season and the fans were gutted were losing Beaumont this year and the fans aren't bothered says it all really

You need to watch the incident again.

Beaumont was completely anonymous against Hull.

First time I have seen him and he looks too lightweight to be a prop.

looks like Jo Greenwood build wise, difference being that Greenwood is a kid and Beaumont is 25

His stats against Hull are just awful

7 carries for 43 metres, and this is for a player coming off the bench.

For me he looks like nothing more than a filler prop for a couple of years to let the kids come through

I hope he is a lot better than he looks at the moment otherwise its a pointless and baffling signing.

Lets face it, there has been no scouting on this one. He's a Super League player that is available in a position we're weak in, so they've signed him.

He looks tragic to be honest, no improvement on Perry at all.

Seems to me as though people are judging him on the Hull game alone. From what I have seen of Beaumont he is a decent player who plays in a position, and does a job that we have been lacking in this season. Seems to play decent minutes and he complements Masoe well. You can't have enough props and it will be interesting to see how he goes. Add in the younger forwards on top of that and we have the basis of a decent front row next season. Just wish people would reserve critism until he pulls on a shirt.

Have to say though, I'm exited about next season. The club are in the market for new Stand-Off to partner Walsh, and we have an exciting, pacy 3/4 line full of talented footballer's. With the likes of Sia, Manu and Wilkin in the Back-Row along with those I mentioned earlier and we've got quality players competing for places. Just hope we don't have another injury crisis.

Did you watch the Wigan v Hull KR game?

No, did he play well in that?

11 carries for 78m
17 tackles with 2 missed
2 tackle busts
1 penalty and 0 errors

He looked quite good. Came of the bench and carried and tackle aggressively. Both Carney and Clarke were inspired to comment on separate occasions what a positive impact he (and fellow sub Tyler Hepi) had on the HKR performance.

Not a world beating performance or anything, but a level of physical commitment (and subsequent effect), the likes of which you bemoan Laffranchi for being unable to provide, against a committed opposition pack.

Yeah. Referring to him as tragic after seeing him play once is stupid.
