| Shows your lack of knowledge of the game if you think the run on team(first 13) is the best 13. It's a 17 man game were the interchanges are as important as the run on team. Come back when your team can finish above ours in the league

He has a point. I mean you look at the Roby guy. Not good enough to start for Saints and gets beaten on to the subs bench by the fat welsh Guy.
I am surprised Saints dont just get rid of Roby. he will never amount to much.

Where have I said that I think it is? oh that's right, you just made it up.
At the end of the day, Gilmour couldn't get in the run on team in the positions that he wanted to play because there was better players than Lee was at the time, in those positions at the time.
Therefore he was on the bench, and he didn't like it, and at the end of his contract he wanted to start everyweek, and I don't blame him, but we couldn't offer him that where as Saints could and that's why he left without being any great loss to us.

Crabtree starts on the bench most weeks. Does that mean the starting props are better than him?

What's that got to do with anything?
Gilmour left because he wanted to start, and he couldn't. That's all there is to it.

Why does Brett Hogdson start at FB every week, why does Whatuira start at centre every week, why dont you start Keal Carlisle instead of Moore every week?

Which is usually the case(lol, as if you didn't know that) if you look up and down Super League and the NRL, You'll find lots of evidence of this. with perhaps one exception per team.
Wasn't good enough. Simple.

You don't know what you are talking about. Roby comes off the bench because he has a specific role to play, which is to contrast Kieron. Roby is speedy and makes yards and kicks and makes breaks. Kieron is the more traditional hooker. Roby is excellent in the position he plays, especially when speedy PTBs were the order of the day, which of course at present they are not, so your style of rugby gets to feature.

He has already been man of steel and has a number of winners medals and has had international honours. No, I don't suppose he will amount to much!
As for Gilmour, regardless of what Bradford may or may not have thought of him, he is a very good player who has formed part of an extremely successful squad. He has had another very good season this season and so far as I know, not a single Saints fan wanted him to go.

Full backs are 80minute players. Players who play in the pack ie props/hookers/2nd rowers(if you didn't know) usually play in stints during a game. Some bench players can be your most useful players in the game i.e Crabtree for us and Medley at Bulls some years ago. Gilmour's speed and feet can be used to great effect ofter 20mins in the middle of the pitch when the opposition are getting tired.

| Why does James Graham start for Saints, why doesn't Hargreaves start instead?
Maybe because he isn't as good, maybe, maybe eh?
Maybe that's the reason?
Why doesn't Luke Burgess start instead of Peacock at Leeds?

| Doesn't take an expert to realise that the best players in most positions start on the field at most clubs each week. There my be one or two exceptions but not many. Only somebody who's new to the game or just being a awkward turd would think otherwise.
And because Lee Gilmour was neither 1 of 2 of the best second row forwards or centres at the Bulls he didn't start there everyweek and spent most of his career at the club on the bench, which he wasn't happy with.
As a result of this he was frustrated at lack of game time and seeked to find a club where he could start, which was St Helens.

OK,
Who is Leeds best prop? Think most would say Peacock but i'd go for Leulai who's started on the bench a few times this season
Who is St Helens Best Prop Graham, unusual for an 80mins prop
Who is St Helens best 2nd Row Puletua, 3 times as sub this seaon
Who is Bradfords best second row Menzies. once as sub but can play 80mins
Who is Bradfords best prop? Burgess(started on bench today)
Who is Leeds best hooker Buderus started 7 times on bench this season
Who is Wigans best hooker Personally don't rate Riddell or McIlorum
Who is Huddersfields best Second Row? IMO Raleigh (started 5 of 13 games on bench)
Others you could mention
Best Wigan prop-Iafeta Paleaaesina-23 games as sub this year
Giants best Prop-Crabtree-started on bench 14 of 19 games'"
