3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Quote: Paul Youane "Why did he miss last seasons pre-season?
According to Wigan fans it was the salary cap stopping playing at the end of the season before and he played against Warrington in the xmas period friendly.
Give it up and face facts he's a dreadful signing, that awarding a contract extension to is the dumbest decision inthe history of Super League (and there's plenty of competition).'"
He was still recovering from his injury. It's nothing to do with the salary cap, he's actually been on Wigans books for two seasons but did not play at all on the first due to non recovery.
It amazes me how anyone can just write him off, he was top try scorer in the reserve league last season but really struggled fitness wise.
Almost every time after he ran he would spend the next couple of minutes doing stretching exercises.
How much is down to lack of confidence I don't know, but this season will be his final chance at Wigan, for the good of Rugby League I hope he gets his fitness and confidence back.

That's exactly the point I'm trying to make, but the usual anti Wigan suspects have come crawling out.

A fit Karl Pryce would be a great addition to the centres we allready have. Shenton has performed well in the Four Nations and Pryce putting pressure on him is exactly the competition we need.

| Andy Farrell has no previous Head Coaching of Rugby League at any level and on that basis alone shouldnt be considered for the position of a National Coach.

For me Brian Noble did a good job and shouldnt have been sacked in the first place

I'm not sure how to take it, as it's someone very close to me who I would trust with my life (literally).

Liam? Ignore it
He's spent the last few years out of the game, he's behind with SL tactics, never mind internationals. It's a non starter for me, same with Edwards.
