He's come on a bit this season to reach the dizzy heights of 'steady'. As a fifth prop, filling in when one of your frontline quartet are out, he won't let you down. Better than nothing and probably only slightly more expensive - I'd just started to come around to the idea he might be worth another year, when the rumours emerged of him leaving for you guys.

A poor mans Jason netherton

Just makes me wonder why we bother with a the youth set up? when we loose any reasonable prospects we do produce & then get accused of filling the side with imports. Why would saints want him with the production line of talent they produce?

him and micky p where you best forwards on fri, big loss for you guys imo,

He has been poor all season. So no lost sleep here.

Thought Paea had his quietest game for a few weeks on friday.
Sorry.

No loyalty from a player who has been at the club for years with most of it on the treatment table . He should remember the years he had on contract when he played little or no rugby at all. No great loss to us as this is the 1st season he could be considered first team material and even then only been a bit part player.

Rich is a nice kid, but I will miss him doing his shopping in Morrisons more than I will miss him out on the park.

Big loss? That's hilarious.

You can't miss what you've never had.

was he ooc at the end of the season ?

Aye.

Also overdue for his doctor's appointment by 10 months as well.

. Saints must see something in the kid but it doesnt mean they will be proved right . If he was any good I suppose you would have offeted him a new contract

I suspect we did, but he wouldn't stay for a curly wirly and 2 cartons of um bongo.

You should watch the rest of his games. Hardly makes an impact and I honestly can't see why St Helens have signed him. James Green is a far better prospect.

Saints trumped your offer Stan and went with 10 red band and a box of matches

as you say you guys seen him more, just that when i have seen him been impressed,

Your easily impressed then

He looked great sat in the West Stand with crutches.

I am always sorry to see local lads leave the club but to be honest I don't think we will miss him. At the age of 25 he has had his chances and if it wasn't for injuries this season he would not have got in the first team squad IMO. Good luck to him at St Helens why they have signed him I do not know they me think they have another Jon Wilkin

at the end of the day, we like every super league club have a salary cap, and if we believed the morons on the mail nearly every club would be skint except wigan, saints, hull. yes hull kr came back with another offer for him and saints then matched it, you cannot blame the lad he went for the money rugby league is a very short, and they have to get what they can when they can.
but I do not blame kr if they wanted to really they would of pushed the boat out and kept him but they looked at the pros and cons like every player and said is this player going to be worth a new deal and honestly no he does not

Have you read what you wrote?



So he didn't go for the money then?

Because of the rumours of us signing him, I looked out for him in the game against Wigan. He looked good - carried the ball well and got into them in defence. Both Clarke and Carney commented on the impact he and young Tyler Hepi had.

Bear in mind that I don't think Saints have signed him thinking they've got a world beater. Our props of late have been disappointing - the Perry, and to a lesser degree Laffranchi signings has been very unsuccessful for one reason or another and LMS had a real downturn of form in the first half of the season. Past that we had a good prospect in Walmsley, who can't manage many minutes, a steady eddie in Clough, a Puletua who can't manage it every week and a bag of very green youngsters.

With potentially 3 props leaving at the end of the season, I think they'r just looking for squad depth. We've got Masoe and Walmsley for the spectacular and LMS and Clough for the graft, we just need a bit of back up.

That was oarguably his best game for Hull KR and he was still outshone by other forwards. At 25 Beaumont isn't a youngster any more and I think your going to be disappointed next year. Hopefully he'll kick on and prove the doubters like me wrong but I just don't think he's anymore then average. If Ryan O'Hara hadn't missed every game this season then I suspect Beaumont would have played even fewer games then he has.

I thought Beaumont had some fairly strong appearances a few months back, and has been fairly steady more or less this season. I wouldn't have broke the bank to keep him but he's another forward we'll need to replace now. Green is obviously the next young'un to hopefully make the step up, but we haven't really seen enough of him playing week in week out at the top level to know he'll be ready.
