Quote: SaintsFan "That wasn't the case with Emmitt, though. He was made an offer in that he states he could have stayed at Saints. So far as any of us are aware, Saints didn't make an offer to Matty Smith. So Emmitt is leaving for a better offer rather than because he couldn't get into the starting 17, which he might well have done simply because I can't see us existing on just two props all season!'"
I don't really follow with the last bit about 2 props, but I imagine Saints offer was an amount relating to a back up/squad member/youngster, whereas Cas's would be that of a first team regular, so probably a larger amount.
