New 2 year deal with Stains

Good!

Good

You was creaming yourselves at the rumour he was coming to you lot

No they were not - he's rubbish and always will be.

Good pack at Saints in 2012 even without Graham, probably:

Perry
Roby
LMS
Puletua
Soliola
Wilkin

Laffranchi
Clough
Magennis
Moore

I'll be honest, I'm disappointed with that. I thought he was exactly what we needed, good mix of size & mobility with a good pair of hands. I think he's one of the top forwards in SL at present, I'm sure we made him a good offer, one thing you know with us as a club where transfers are concerned, we won't die wondering.

I'm sure Tony will have other irons in the fire.

Never mind you've still got Solomona

Saints fans post in a flurry of relief I see.

Top player though and would have been a great signing. Good to see a modern day player staying loyal however.

two names have appeared though that haven't been seen on here since early 2009 though.

Sanits will have more space on their salary cap, probably offered him as much if not more money than Wire.

It's a decent pack. But relative to previous Saints packs it is not the same strength as their pack used to be with Cunningham and Graham in it and then guys like Cayless and Fozzard. I think Saints will always be able to attract a strong-ish squad of players but the real game breakers are not present any more. I still think they will be in the hunt for trophies, but more on a Warrington level, than being a Saints level.

You keep telling yourself that

I knew he wasn't going to be at the HJ next year as Old Nosey Parker in League Weekly last week said Puletua will be at Warrington next season year, nailed on, you heard it hear first blah, blah.

There was a Saints fan on here who said Puletua will either go back home or sign a two year deal with Saints. He was laughed off by all on this board but it seems he was right. Would be intriguing to see if people apologize to him for proving to be a true ITK.

To be honest I wasn't.
3 years ago Pre Tony Smith I would have been delighted if we were to sign TP, he is a good signing and off course if he had signed for us I would have been pleased but nothing more that that.

There is only one player in the Saints squad that I would be 'creaming myself' if we were to sign him and that is James Roby.

+1

Come off it. A lot of Wire fans were really happy about the potential signing.

I can see Ratchford being the big signing for you. It is rumoured he has turned down a record offer from Salford and will go to one of the big 3rd of Saints, Wire and Wigoon. I can't see why we would be desperate with Lomax and Hohaia in the halves. So you or the Goons.

it's us,but he isn't the big signing.

I can't speak for other Wire fans, but as I said if TP had signed for us, then I would have been pleased and nothing more.
He would have been a good addition to our team but we now have such a strong team and I am very happy with the players we have got.

Again as I have said earlier if we were to be signing James Roby then I would be getting very very very excited.
Imagine Michael Monaghan for the first 20 minutes of the game then being replaced by James Roby WOW

A question for you Sad One, which players in the current Wire squad would you like in your Saints team?

There wouldn't be any, it'd do his Warrington (living) street-cred, no good at all

Roby would get a gig on the bench.

only if Clarke had a gypie tummy

Hodgson in terms of quality, but I wouldn't us to actually sign him as he's too old.

Ryan Atkins because we're light on centres. We have had a vacant centre spot since Wild Bill Talau left so any SL centre would be nice.

Monaghan is probably the player you lot rave over most but as with Hodgson I wouldn't want us to actually sign him despite how good he is. James Roby is a machine and 80 minutes is just a warm up for him. He's been utterly sensational this season so far for us and I wouldn't swap him for anyone in the world, even Cam Smith as Roby is so central to how we play and is our best player by a truly enormous distance.

Morley is another quality player I wouldn't want us to sign because of his age.

I would take Ben Westwood off your hands and slot him in on our bench which is currently very weak and I would also take Ben Harrison off you as I rate him very highly. I think he could be the next James Graham and I hope he fulfils that potential at prop rather than pretending to be a backrower. A move to Saints would do him good.



I've not seen enough of the Welsh boys or this Williams kids to comment on them.

this is a wind up right ben westwood to be a bench player
