Very true. The last lot of owners bled the club dry and the current one seems happy to pump in ridiculous amounts of money to no avail. What neither have seen is that it doesn't matter what you spend on the playing staff, if you don't have the right coach then it's all for nothing

Has he actually played a game for Saints?

Quote ="roversmad"Has he actually played a game for Saints?'" He hasn't played a first team game this year no ... But we also didn't pay a fee for him... (www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/23593310 - will join on a 2 year deal when his current deal expires.) Has another year with us ... But I'm no holding my breath. Fortunately for us, he's 6th choice

Whats the point of bringing players through and giving them away,you think thats good business do you ?

It's okay, it's a step up from Perry

Was Perry THAT bad???

No. Beaumont was that good!! Lol.

Was it Perry who was tapping Clint Newtons wife, or the other way round?

Ghostmont has the same level of input in 1/10 the salary



That said, if Saints don't get another forward signed we might actually have to depend on Ghostmont next year

Crikey! And we think we've got problems

You really are the gift that keeps giving aren't you, you plank?
No we just produce players good enough to sell, you get that? sell, to top teams such as Wigan, these players are then coveted by lower level teams such as your good selves, ie Scott Taylor. If you insist on coming on here trying to wind people up please try a bit harder, it's like shooting fish in a barrel with your current drivel.

Not a very good agent are you?

Not exactly churning them out though are you.

27 players have come through the academy since we've been in super league

But how many have gone to other clubs? Or are in your first team?

Just so we can be clear on the criteria, if you can give me the equivalent list for Hull for the same period, I'll make a list.
Or if you can't be d, my count based on my own interpretation of the question would be about 6 to 8. Which given the inevitable lag phase after promotion is, while far from impressive, not that bad either.

Speaking of gifts that keep giving!

About 30-40 have come through our academy & played SL,

good list that

Taylor & Welham are your clubs best 2, Taylor couldn't wait to get away & the other will struggle to keep a place next season.

Broughy,whiting & moa all hadn't really played first team rugby before joining FC & all 3 of them would get a place in most SL clubs.
May have missed 1or 2 but tried my best.

You really didn't see the trap?!



I'll sort mine and edit yours for pre-2007 debuts - probably tomorrow.

Is that the best come back?
I was referring to our product line of talent in our own SL existence.
It always will be far greater then krs, fact,
