Ian Millward, he'd create a team who has set moves to attack the line. Need to attack Aus not set out to stop them.

When millward was at saints I always thought he would have been a good coach for England but not so sure now.

I can't think of anyone to be honest

Why on earth would he be interested in that job when he's got a top job in a better sport where he'll earn more?

There isn't an English coach good enough and most of the Aussies over here wouldn't get a main coaching job in Aus.

It most probably wont happen but I'd like to see us go for a big name Aussie coach of the stature of Sheens or Bennet .

As well as being England's coach he could be a sort of coaching supremo with a brief to oversee coaching and player development of the game in general, a sort of coacher of coaches.

The problem with your theory is that at some point, we need to move on. Shenton did well, as did Bridge.

Shenton I can see developing into a fine centre. Bridge will never be more than cannon fodder there,

I think we do so need that. Someone to develop the coaches. It would be an excellent move but it won't happen.

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

There are hopes for those centre positions.

Michael Lawrence, Craig Hall, Tom Briscoe, Kallum Watkins and maybe Darrell Goulding.

If we can get Karl Pryce fit there's another.

[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that. [/quote] Another classic: [quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban. Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player. Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666 0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match". Therefore ZERO.[/quote] Give the girl her dummy back.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_18821.jpg

You see, you start off okay but just cant resist trolling.

Goulding was playing well up until his injury.

A fit, confident Karl Pryce could be the best English centre in Superleague.

However, that has been a long way off in the last two seasons. I'm willing to give him another year and a proper pre-season training.

I know someone who plays alongside him at Wigan who says Pryces skill levels are as good as anyone he has played with or against, but his fitness is not what it should be, basically because he has missed the last two pre seasons training.

As I said I'm quite willing to give him another season.
He's still only 23 years of age, so it's worth a shout.

He'd need a heart transplant first though.

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).
