I think decent signing. His age as many have already voiced is a concern, as is the decade he's spent playing in the toughest competition in the world in one of the toughest positions. Plus with your current status as a club who for the past few seasons has struggled with keeping players fit. I wouldn't bet against him joining the casualty list next year. But when fit and playing I think he'll go ok.

Who is he a replacement for? Graham, Puletua or Flannery? Because if it's either of the first two. Then it's very underwhelming signing IMO. If it's Flannery then great.

He's much better than Hoffman, and you know it.
and as for getting injured, if he plays for saints he will be injured at least 50% of the time, i think its in our contracts now!

p.s. playing a decade and change in the NRL didnt do Menzies any harm

But is he better than Liam Farrel.
That is highly likely to revolve around what happens with TP, I'd say possibly 1 if he stays and 2 if he does leave

Quote: Saint Simon "It's a great signing in every way.

1)He's an Australian international and SOO player, so he's clearly class
2)He's signed 2 yrs so he wont be past it in his last year
3)He's already said he's going home after his two years to take up a coaching job so there is no doubt over his contract in the future and we can plan future recruitment much easier
4)He's not on the quota

downsides?'"


He hasn't said he's going home after his 2 years. He said he's going back to the Titans to coach after he's finished with St Helens. He's signed a 2 year deal with the option of a 3rd year.

I've been banging on about Gibbs for few weeks.

He'd be great signing!

Gibbs has requested an early release from his contract to join Super League Club StHelens for the 2012 season. When questioned on the matter Gibbs said "The exchange rate and the new NRL deal are strong pulls to remain in Sydney but when Saint's offered me a Benidorm flat in Shaw St. and Jamie Foster's fake VXR , I had to request the move".
