Kn*b

agreed words of a lad more likely a lass who has never played the game.

Key part of 2 challenge cups and a SL title and he gets abuse for picking up potentially a career threatening injury playing for the red vee.

Some of our supporters are absolute morons.

Absolutely out of order.
I bet you bagged Scully at the end too didn't you? And thought Cunningham was finished three seasons ago!
How many serious injuries have you had playing the game at a high level?

Now you have me!
What a raw nerve I have inadvertenly touched.

I have no proper experience of any games at any decent level and no serious injuries thankfully.
This obviously disqualifies me from comment does it?

However, I've never been a fan of Jason and breathe a sigh of relief to him going from our team echoing the words of our illustrious chairperson"I would like to wish Jason Cayless every success and every luck in his life back in Australia," said St Helens chairman Eamonn McManus.[/i

It gives us some room in the squad for someone who is not as unreliable hopefully.

I did "bag" Scully - and was right. He was a "drag" on the squad for a long while. If you were off ill all the time, would your elpojer keep you on?

Cunningham is well worth another season. Longy was worth 2 seasons (unfortunately the club owners didn't think so) and I am absolutely gutted that Gilly is going - he s worth 2 if not 3 more seasons.

your point being..........?

How did Scully get the contract he was paid?

Please see my points below.

No free speech without insults?

For a supporter of the Red Vee I would expect that you would have a little more respect for players that have literally put their bodies on the line for the sake of your 'entertainment'.
You don't play for your country and win Grand finals, in both hemispheres if you are a total waste of space.
Your comments are out of order because you give the man no repect at all.

nail on head.

Because the club mistakenly believed (I say this in in reprospect obviously) that he would recover past glories. No one was more disappointed than me that he never again became what he used to be i.e. the best loose in SL, possibly the world.

If they had known that he was never going to fully recover any decent form, they would have binned him.

So.....your point being?

That he gave his body and career to ensuring Saints were a successful team.

Sorry. I give JC respect for his good times with us, but I think he has been a drain on our very finaite resources for a long time.
Sorry but I'm thinking: knackered prop going = new not knackered prop arriving.

As I have said earlier; more than happy to keep KC, SL and Gilly for as long they don't become a drain on our club which is unfortunately losing a lot of £'s each year.

What if we had kept him on for another year? Would there be applause on this forum - I think not.

If you did and one or all get injured do they suddenly deserve the lack of respect you have shown?

Stick to following football son.

Never disagreed with this.
So, without being awkward what is your point?

Is it that we should keep past great players who can not get over serious injuries on the payroll forever?
That to terminate contracts is some sort of ungrateful betrayal?
Or is it the right thing to do in order to free up salary cap and also allow the club to keep young up and coming platyr to stay at the club.

Is this some sort of sacred cow that I have abused or is it really just the only way to run a club with limited resources?

You are obviously incapable of reading - SEE BOLD writing.

Stick to following the pies son.
