Quote: Magic Superbeetle "Saints have lost Morgan, Douglas, Richardson and Swift this term without replacement. Rumour has it this was so that we have no current marquees, to sign a big name Tongan and re-sign Thompson (and more signings at the end of next year IF the marquee rule is increased to 3). Whether its true or not I don't know. We certainly didn't announce any signing as a marquee, like we did with Barba.
Walmsley re-signed at the start of last year until 2022, and I can't see Walmsley interested in doing anything other than seeing out his contract (hes spoken at length at his gratitude with the club for supporting him through his neck injury last year). That leaves Thompson, whom will either stay at Saints or go to the NRL, I dont think there is any other decision, irrespective of money (Lifelong Saints fan, put his grandmothers house down on the town team forms to play for Saints as a kid, his Dads company are shirt sponsors etc).'"
OK - so they really aren't realistic targets
