There's plenty of experience in Buderus, Peacock, JJB, Sinfield, McGuire and Burrow. Smith, Ablett, Hall, Bailey are also pretty experienced.

Im happy we havent signed him.

He had a good couple of years in his mid 20's but certainly isnt the player he was back then. He is a good hole runner though and will score a few tries against poorer defences. As for a game changer, im afraid he isnt.

I'd rather Saints signed someone like Scruton, or maybe even Amor to be honest.

The way Ambler and Amor have been going this season we will effectively have two new signings in the front row. They are both showing now they are of the required ability and will certainly be all that is required if they are only to replace Kylie in the front row IMO. Would far rather we kept cap space available to secure these two than sign another 30 year old stop gap signing.

Indeed, hence the rlTWO EASY TRIES AGAINST TONY SMITH'S ENGLANDrl

I was wrong actually so I apologise.

We've actually won 8 within the last 5 years. This includes the SL trophy, the World Club Challenge, The League Leaders Shield and the Challenge Cup.

I'm intrigued to see what trophies constitute being "of importance", other than the 4 on show.

Accepted.

I'm grateful you accepted the apology mate. Any chance of you answering this below? I did leave a question mark initally so I can understand why you didn't bother with it.

Maybe. Just about to go out for lunch. Should really do some work this afternoon but if I get bored enough I might honour you.

Please feel free to keep checking back.

It's fine G. No ned to ruin your afternoons activities for little old me. I'll go with my instincts and take it that you tried to belittle Saints by claiming we'd won nothing for 5 years and got shown up for being a know nowt feckw!t (who coined that phrase? I quite like it).

No need to drop your workload this arvo mate, and enjoy your dinner.

Saints have won nothing of significance for over four and a half years since October 2006.

So if he'd said Saints had won nothing of significance for 4 years, would that be considered acceptable?

I'm sorry mate. I hope I haven't caused any offence. My intention wasn't to belittle Saints. Had it been I'd have mention the Grand Finals between 2007 and 2009.

OK, 2011 season, you've won nowt.
2010 season, you won nowt.
2009 Season, you won nowt.
2008 Challenge Cup
2007 Challenge Cup

I'm not giving you the 2007 WCC as I consider it an extension of the 2006 season. I'm also ignoring the 2 hubcaps because, well, they're hubcaps. Kudos on the two cup wins. Wish we'd done that.

My comment was a little glib and appears to have gotten under your skin but the gist is you're not the force you once were and we do not need to necessarily look on enviously at your recruitment policies.

In a word - underwhelmed

If he's a direct replacement for Puletua as believed, they've downgraded.
