| Quote: The Chair Maker "Talk of top line aussie half backs coming to SL is fantasy la la land stuff.
Discounting the 3 game European holiday of Andrew Johns, i can only think of Trent Barrett who came over in 2007 who was not of pensionable age.
Hence i think we would need to discount a signing of anyone under 30 years of age.
The main factor why they wont come over anymore is that there isnt the money in Britain compared to Australia.'"
What about Alfie Langer when he came to us?
Was still an international & SOO player. |

He was still of pensionable age and they hadn't increased their cap as they are about to do. |

| Quote: Mugwump "Physiques change to meet changing requirements. If , forty years ago you'd have asked someone like Murphy whether the sizes and shapes of today's players are feasible he'd have probably said no. Back then it was common to field props which weren't as heavy as some of this era's wingers.
In Murphy's day there was far greater emphasis put on clever play around the scrum and ruck which meant being small was an asset. Today those rules no longer exist and there is nothing to prevent a taller, more muscular player prospering at seven.
The reason you don't see bigger players holding down a seven shirt (and doing well) is because they never get an extended run there.'"
true,they get played elsewhere,not much point having a 6' + scrum half when he could be in the centres,making way for a smaller kid who can play at 7 because that posotion doesn't require you to be tall,and theres nowhere else for you to play 'cause youre not big enough son' |

Valid point, but just because players are over 30 does not mean they arnt capable of playing to the highest of standards set at St. Helens.
IMHO Prince would be the idea player for you. Inevitably when Pryce leaves at the end of the season it means you can have a young enthusiastic player in Gaskell/Wheeler/Lomax & an experienced class player in Prince. It also means that Prince could pass of his trade secrets to up & coming youth. |

In an ideal situation id like us to try Lomax, Gaskell and Wheeler at 7 for a run of say 3 games each, but thats a big ask in the pressures of superleague

Lets face it, we can rule out Wheeler. He's not got the heart for professional rugby and he's no good either. Lomax looks half decent but he's no scrum half, leave him at centre until we sign a proper one.

I don't think we'll take Gleeson back due to the nature of his departure from us. |

Don`t know how negotiations are going at the Roosters but Braith Anasta is supposed to have no future at the club beyond this coming season, although he is a 6 not a 7, gotta say though, think Pryce will sign for us again, soon, don`t know why people are flapping about it.

Watched this gale tonight for Quins. Not very impressed at all on first viewing. Made alot of mistakes and looks pretty poor in defence.
To be honest it's first time I've seen him but not very impressed at all.

He played most of the game with a dead leg, so it's no wonder he didn't do much! |
