Utter, utter nonsense.

You watch a vastly different game of RL to me. I see a player who tackles himself to a standstill, busts tackles, scores tries and creates.

There are very few back rowers in SL better than Jon Wilkin IMO.

Would you say Ben Westwood failed for Wire in the second row last year? Would seem strange given he was their player of the year. Per game played in 2010 Wilkin carried the ball more, tackled more, bust more tackles, made more clean breaks, missed fewer tackles, scored more tries and created more.

Might be worth watching some games with your eyes open and actually acknowledging the enormous amount of good work Wilkin does for Saints.

Just a thought on a replacement for Graham. I've been reading the Lance thread on the Leeds pages, which is almost as long as this one. There is an experienced prop from Leeds who maybe up for grabs for next year. And an England Captain to boot.

If we offer early maybe we could tempt Peacock. He's older than Graham but could be worth a punt although injured at the moment.

But he would not be the first aged prop who has been a hit at Saints. (Anderson)

Oh yeh and the younger burgess is looking for the NRL, he maybe worth a steal.

Anderson spent a lot of time in his early years injured which allowed him to continue longer. Peacock is pretty much shot physically after being overused in the last few years.

If Peacock became available every club in super league would be after his signature.

Peacock hates Saints so I can't see him signing for us.

Lance Hohaia - what a signing for you Saints.

4, even 2 years ago perhaps, but like BL says, i think he's been hammered at Bradford, then again at Leeds and isnt the player he once was, i doubt he's got much more than 1 more season left in him

It was just a thought when thinking about what props we could aim for to replace Graham (IF) he goes, and puletua too.

I'd love to see JP have a Kevin Ward/Baloo style Indian summer at Saints, but to say it was unlikely would probably be an understatement.

They may be, but he'd be a signing that would demand big money and would not provide value for that money for very long. Similar to Fielden at Wigan.

I think if Graham goes, we've got to resign Puletua for at least another year. We wouldn't be able to replace both effectively.

Thought he was a full back ?

Halfback (stand off) who has played centre and in recent years fullback.

Why do people want Jamie Peacock? I don't. I'd rather have someone younger with time to give to us.

Awesome signing for saints!
