Who'd have thought the building of a multi-million pound stadium might impact upon the financing of a "top" Super League side? |

| Back to topic...
I think we need to replace the broken part and reconfigure the limb and he'll be fit for the Hull game!!! 
In all seriousness though I hope it's not too serious an injury and we have him back soon!  |

I think it could be a blessing in disguise. As long as it isn't a serious injury that will hamper his career, it will give him a rest to keep him fresh and will give us a chance to see how we fare without a machine scooting us half of our forwards yards from dummy half.
Plus, Hohaia was class for NZ Warriors at hooker, hardly a shoddy replacement.

That put a smile on my face. |

I just can't figure out where we are as a club, or where we are headed. Are we in transition from the last side that won a trophy for us? Or given that was so long ago, are we now through the transition? How long do we give this side? Are the likes of Foster, Makinson, Shenton, Wheeler, Lomax, Gaskell, LMS worth persevering with or should we look at it again? Fullback - Need, Wingers - Fine for now but no threat from either wing, Centres - Shenton is alright, Halves - I like Gaskell and Lomax personally, Front row - Utter rubbish, Back row - Completely average apart from Sia. It looks to me as though we're half the squad away from winning a trophy again and rather than in transition, it appears we're back peddling.'"
Saddened , when we do have a downward slide I seriously have concerns for your wrists.
I'm not going to argue every point you have made, but I think you are as way off the mark with this as you where last year saying we were going to finish outside the top 4.

It's crazy reading how easily you write off your own team sometimes. St Helens is a huge club and even in a transitional period have managed to keep pace at the top of the league for the last few seasons. It's not the team of Long,Sculthorpe,Cunningham,Martyn and co but it's still packed with quality and you'll be there or thereabouts again this season.

When does the transition start/end. It is coming on 4 years since we won a trophy and 6 years since we won the SL title.
Long left 3 years ago, Cunningham 2 years ago, Martyn 7/8 years ago, Scully 5 years.
It has been a slow decline rather than a complete collapse, but we are a long way from a side that is likely to compete for trophies consistently. |

How many cup semi finals and grand finals do you need to feature in before you can be classed as a side that is competing for trophies? |
