Wigan are no closer to us now than they were last.

Saints haven't really weakened except the centre and Wigan have lost the only top player they had.

Saints have much to sort out this season and many worries, Wigan are not one of them. They will beat us when we aren't at the races, ala the past 2/3/4/5 years.

Quote: Jukesays "Why not play a youngster there instead then?

Wigans 1st 17 IMO - average age 25
Saints 1st 17 IMO - average age over 27


I would also ask that as Saints have been undoubtably the most successful team of the last 4/5 seasons is it not worrying that your Youth development doesnt seem that much better than ours considering Saints have had far more opportunities to utilise tham as you have been in a position of strength? Whilst we have had to stave off the Relegation and practically Fight for every point we have Won in the last 3 years?'"


No Leulai, Fair comment, Tomkins is only 20 and as you know I rate him very highly.

We will miss Keiron no doubt and he will leave a massive hole, (it tickles me you still make fat jokes about him, when you now have a hooker called piggy!) icon_wink.gif But aside from that, that s next season, the topic in hand is will you beat s this year? In my opinion you may do once, but we will still have the upper hand. Not sure what you think here mate?

As we have discussed I think, if not addressed we will have problems in the upcoming seasons with players that we have lost, as a lot of the youth sides havent impressed me. However, at the risk of repeating myself this topic was about this year, and I still think that you are a good prop short to compete with our pack, and are depending an awful lot on an unknown half back partnership. I guess it's going to be an interesting year though.

Quote: No1 Saint "to Answer rogues with Amos Roberts , cameron phelps and Pat Richards at the club how the hell is a player like Ainscough (who from what I hear is a damned good young player) going to get the game time he will need to develop?'"


So as Ainscough went on tour with the U18 academy I wouldn't expect him to be anywhere near the first team for at least 2 seasons.

Are Saints going to move Gidley and play Foster?

And now come Dean McGilvray is not ready to take over from Meli?

??? Not too sure what you mean by the 1st bit?? Tomkins Will be a good un in time, This season maybe 15 games or so, Next Year He will start.

We will miss Keiron no doubt and he will leave a massive whole, (it tickles me you still make fat jokes about him, when you now have a hooker called piggy!) icon_rolleyes.gif

So Saints let a young player go and it's o.k.

Ainscough is still at Wigan, is 18 years old and is not at not Widnes, not at Salford, not at Celtic, not at Huddersfield, and we still get pilloried on here by some who know less about Rugby League than my dog.

Quote: steve "Because he's signed for Salford. He also chose not to play first team last season because he was finishing his college course.'"


Saints letting Another Promising Youngster go!

Moore/Tyrer/Bannister and now McGilvray!

No wonder your running out of steam at the end of the season, Those elder statesman are getting tired! No Youngsters coming in to freshen them up coz they can't get a game due to Over the Hill ageing and in some cases Foreign Players!
Disgracefull!

Have Moore and Tyrer been let go [iyet[/i?

Bannister? Well that is a different matter, and the fact he hasn't been able to hold down a position anywhere because of his attitude says it all.

So, so far, we have ascertained that Saints have let one of those players go as a player being let go, and not sent on loan or kicked out because they are a complete brain fart.

Nice try, but so cigar.

And McGilvray ?

So next season we can hope to see, Moore, Tyrer and Smith in Saints shirts.


I sincerely hope so.

Maybe he didn't feature long term. Maybe HE felt he would be better served getting regular first team appearances for a club like Salford rather than waiting for Meli to sod off back to NZ. I haven't seen any reasons for his departure.

Answer the next part re Moore etc.

As I said Wigan get a hard time for releasing youngsters it seems Saints and Leeds are immune.
