Won't they?

If it's the three that "someone else" named
It was merely an observation.

He's a sneaky old bugger who just loves to reel Saints fans in, he has some interesting opionions on young players (apart from the obvious bias he shows) but aprt from that he is obsesed with all things Saints and he seems to be double obsessed with this myth that were a team full of old men ....

the Irony is he knows enough about rugby to be well aware that props mature late (for the most part) so we have bagged a top player in the prime of his career

It's not the fact he's debating it's the context and picture you try to paint around it.

It is pretty dull really.

For waht reason did you make that point ?

Coley is 31 next month, fielden will be 30 next season and gleeson and carmont will pushing 30 next year.

I just don't see what your getting at by coming out and saying they will be 30 next year ?

Mozza and peacock are getting on but still two of the best props in super league.

Old being the operative word, here. He's too obvious to be sneaky!

I also think he's a closet Saints fan, a bit like Fishta who gets a hard on for Cunningham now and again (usually when he's put on a big hit or scored a bollocking try). Rogues appears on here to wind us up as his cover.

I say Rogues needs to step out of the closet and stand proud in the red V. He knows it's what he really wants.

Carmont is well over 30 and I don't think will be at Wigan next year. I have openly stated that I would give Coley a one year deal and Fielden a two year deal based on their excellent performances this season.

However I don't like too many over 30's in a team. I saw what happened to the great Wigan side of the 50's and 60's when Boston Ashton and McTigue stayed a little too long. A similar thing happened with Farrell, Craig Smith, Lam etc

The reason I mentioned it on the Wire board was that I was hoping for some dialogue with their supporters after they have now announced, Monagha, Solomona and Hodgson as signings. I honestly believe it's a risk.

On the original part of my post I was merely stating to someone that Gleeson and Carmont have IMO been better than Shenton this season and used their wingers try scoring exploits to illustrate this.

I also agree with chairmaker that Perry will be a solid prop for yourselves, very good defensively but don't expect him to be a rampaging tackle breaker, because from what I've seen of him he isn't.

I hope that explains my stance.

Oh and if any of you are going to Orrell on Saturday for the U20 game, we'll be in the Robin Hood pub for 1 p.m. so come and have a beer and a chat.

I've noticed perry ain't been picked for SOO on Wednesday.

LOL typical Aussies

Good for us but a real killer for him.

Shenton to Leeds was a big rumour whilst i was over there at Uni and i'd expect him to go there before he would come to KR.

Shenton is signing for Saints. He as already agreed the deal. Leeds where not interested in a centre.

League express asked shenton in a interview but he wouldent confirm but also wouldent deny it either.

Shenton got injured last night so I hear?

Stop fishing, Roguey, a lot of props don't hit their peak until their 28-29. If there's any position you can afford to have a couple of oldies in, its the bookends.

yep, Baloo, Fairleigh, peacock, Morley, Steve Price (sp?) all at their best in their 30's. Of course Jammer and Fielden were great earlier in their careers, but who's to say Jammer wont improve even more?

hes past it! morley is 20x better than him
