I preferred the old Index. It was fun to see which team was rubbish. But I suppose we don't need a new bathroom anymore.

Still, at least our man Robes has received some recognition for his super human efforts at the Magic weekend so all is not lost!

I like this index. It would be good to see a version of it used for Fantasy RL comps rather than them being based on who scores the most tries

Rangi Chase has come out of that well, if kyle goes ......

...signing Chase would be a waste of a quota spot.

A waste? How did you arrive at that conclusion?

Disagree

What a man!

Good to see Chrisdean in there too

Kieran who?

How did you arrive at your conclusion that he was anything but?

Well, he is quite obviously an outstanding talent. He has a highly impressive kicking game which is something Saints are crying out for. The past 2 weeks have shown evidence of how good he is, in that he has been the best stand off in Super League for 2 weeks running due to the frontline index. He can create something out of nothing and has the ability to control a game. He has a very good side step in which he can round the first defender with ease which makes him a try scoring threat. Any player of this capability is clearly not a waste of a quota spot, anything but.

Would you care to explain your opinion?

Ah right, so on the basis of two week's viewing, one of which was against a decimated Wakefield side, he is capable of performing with Saints. Super League has been littered with competent NRL players who have come over here and ripped it up with a little club only to then sign for a big club and be exposed for being the big fish in a small pond that they are e.g. Gavin Clinch, Denis Moran, Willie Peters. Also see Danny Orr as a player who looked dazzling at Castleford and then stunk out the place when he got in the big fish tank.

A quota spot should be used to get us a player who is going to significantly strengthen our front seventeen not just our squad. Chase isn't better than Pryce and although he is a good player I think we should be aiming higher when using up a quota spot. A quota spot should be for somebody with ability that we can't grown through our own academy. If Chase was British and wasn't a quota player I wouldn't be arguing with you.

Given that quota spots are now at a premium for clubs with integrity, like Saints, I don't believe the risk is worth taking in going after Chase to fill that for us. He may make a fist of it although evidence and my intuition suggests we should look for somebody else if we need to.

I wasn't basing my opinion on the past 2 weeks, it was on the numerous times I have seen him play. I agree that a quota spot is a 'premium' position, but personally I believe Chase is a very very good player, who would only improve behind a pack that is as strong as ours. If Pryce was to leave at the end of the season I think he would be a more than capable replacement. There's not many Stand Off's better than Pryce and there may not be any that we could attract to the club.

Fairy muff.
