You see, you argue every point as if from an unbiased veiw, but there's certain points that, for me, make it seem like you've got a bit of a downer on us.
This bit for me gives you away
Quote: jdrocket "Perry- Don't know much. What i do know he is an ageing aussie. Who so far is not well indorsed. Saints have a way of making good on this sort of deal and in a couple of seasons would maybe be snapped up by "nearly every" team. ATM too much of a liablity to risk.'"
Perry is 29, which pretty much anyone would agree is a great age for a prop. He is an Aussie international and has played SOO this year. He's also won grand finals with 2 clubs down under.
Now, if you go on each of the boards here and ask the supporters if they'd be happy to swap one of their senior props for someone of that pedigree, i'm sure 9/10 of them would say yes.
Sia soliola is a 24 year old Kiwi international. I'm pretty sure we weren't his only option when we signed him and if you reckon that players like Pryce and Wellens wouldn't be welcome at pretty much any club in the league the you're kidding yourself. Senton's been mentioned, If you ask wigan and leeds fans whether (issues like wages aside) they'd like to swap him for Carmont, Delaney or Senior, I think the majority would answer yes.
FWIW the days of players being snapped up and having a queue of suiter clubs has been finished by the slalry cap, but ask the species if they'd swap one of their current squad members then its an easier answer.
