I was on here first





Saints will go with Lomax and Dodd at halfback next year - we’re not planning on signing a halfback (that we’re aware of - for whatever that counts for).

i've just gone back to have a look, yours isn't too bad, its the nickles forearm post i was referring to.

The two i've highlighted, if he believes that then i dont want him measuring my carpet, he's either winding himself up or trying to wind the others up on there to have a pop at us.

there's no way that ratch is on 250k,some might over rate him, some might under rate him, he may not consistantly be the best fb in england but ththats stupid money there.

Likewise for naiqama mamo, we picked mamo up as a late off season cheap squad filler after mitch brown retired, there's no way there's any comparison in salaries,

The other thing i noticed this morning, someone stating that we came out and announced that austin wasn't a marquee signing when we signed him. I'm pretty sure it was the opposite.

I would guess that Williams isn't being classified as a marquee this year, we'll be taking full hit of his wages for the year, then when austin goes he'll be shifted to accomodate.




Again though, the three halfbacks thing, is interesting, when widdop is fit, you do wonder who's going to be left out, one would assume the easy option is to bench or drop austin completely.




OOOOOOOOOORRRRRR knowing price's tendancy to tinker needlessly, he could drop widdop to FB.

ratch to 13, though the last time we did that it didn't go so well, but it would also help out in terms of us being short on middles for the rest of the season.

Who knows, the Kr game wont tell us much, but the wigan game(unless we've got another one between then i've forgotten about) widdop should be back.

Is Roby going around again next season?

Leigh away on the 22nd.

Thats the one, i've not bothered to memorize the fixture list this year.

I'd give him a run out there.

It's a rather special combination of the paranoid, the delusional, the obsessive compulsive and the neo-fascist. A lot of which, the first three at least, I suspect is brought on by an inferiority complex, and possibly a form of imposter syndrome, following all those years of Wigan and then Leeds brutalising them.

you know, we're entering into something new, bentley and coote leaving for other teams is not something they're used to , players that they want to keep opting for other teams, it bubbled slightly last year with thompson, but this year its different, they're used to being top dogs and retaining who they want.

There's a reason its being alikened to gary connolly and andy platt signing for wigan, Its unthinkable to them.



Willliams is great though.

How many weeks until Williams is the latest in a long line of scapegoats? To be fair, I reckon it will be part way through next season

How long will be it be before Wigan fans stop bleating about the coach? About their poor recruitment, enjoy Miski i mean he's really what you need a winger from the lower divisions who couldnt hack the NRL. I'd be underwhelmed as well, deflecting attention from my own clubs issues in a small way to try and make yourself feel better.

Obsessed......

If it is who we think it is there might be a V in his kitbag rather than a cherry

Definitely a Saints fan. Reincarnated more times than L Ron Hubbard.

but with more fiction

More upsetting news for our Redvee fans. Brian Carney just spoke about the work done between the club and the RFL salary cap compliance team to get Williams in under the cap, devastating news

When you put it like that…

That will rile them up.

I don't know many players that carry a boomerang around in their kitbag.

Well not George that's for sure

It's a good job the compliance team aren't in the know about Ratchford being on 250k like those really in the know that frequent redvee. Very long shot this, but I hope Williams gets a hattrick against them whilst winning the gf with us.

Did this ever happen, just decided to go through this thread some really funny posts made laugh to have a look back at.

To be honest, I wouldn’t have put money on him signing for us when the rumours came out. You’d think it was all just for negotiating a higher salary at Wigan.

Have to say though, he seems really happy and settled here, and I think he’s enjoying the prospect of being allowed to express himself under Powell. That short dink of a kick to Charnley last week was far harder than it looked.

Don’t want to go through that ever again

was tearing my hair out what little I have. He as signed it’s being announced the next time the moon crosses mars and is in conjunction with Jupiter, that’s how it felt at the time, what a release it was when it was all done and has someone as said he seems reall happy to be here,

I told Rogues no deal. Not because I didn’t want to pay if I lost, (which I didn’t, broke throughout covid), but because I actually did know it was a bagged deal, I couldn’t lose but felt guilty on RG.
However, if I could have took it from Fred Done, I would have emptied the slummy jar we use to book holidays with.

Him and Widdop look a lot more compatible this year under Powell then under Price, and that’s only after two games..

To be fair, they have had a preseason under DP.
