no, but you'd be dancing with death as far as the slary cap, unless you account for them playing all the games

Not sure,but i think we did it with Scully when he tried to come back from all his injuries didnt we ?

I'm just sure it would break the visa rules.

The cap would count them as playing every match. It wouldn't be likely to happen, but perhaps it might result in one or two players actually getting onto the field.

just put them on the mastacard then!

I'm meaning more for an overseas player, I doubt a pay per play contract would be allowed with immigration services or whoever deals with all that stuff.

And be replaced by who? Bearing in mind that they would need to be English and coming out of contract now as we can't pay transfer fees? Name a suitable realistic replacement for each that would be vaguely an upgrade I dare you...

Give Makinson the No.1 spot next season, Royce, please.

Personally I would like to see:

Makinson
Foster
Shenton
Wheeler
Gardner (Brotherton if ready, Ashe maybe if not?)
Gaskell
Lomax
Perry
Roby
Clough
Puletua
Wilkin
Laffranchi

Flanagan
Hohaia
LMS
Soliola

If you are seriously suggesting there isn't a single (affordable) player - old, young or foreign who could not do a better job playing in a top side than Meli, Gardner and Flannery then the game of Rugby League has officially come to a dead end.

Name some?

We areall gutted we lost last night but you seem more bitter than disappointed. We are a young team who did the club proud last night. We can't just bin all our players because we lost the final.

Meli is being made the scapegoat again but the was others on that side also

Instead of calling everything the club has done this year, just stop and think what this team has gone thru and maybe you'll see that we've done a hell of a lot better than expected.

I'd drop Meli and Moore without a moment's hesitation.

Flannery doesn't come cheap.

Ive said all year, saints made massive mistake in keeping meli. The fact we play him centre just to keep him off the wing is a total joke!

Anyone with half a brain can see we need a real centre, not just someone who can play ok there but someone who knows how to beat a man, someone who knows when to give to his winger, someone who knows when to go himself, a proper centre!

Scott Moore gets me nervous everytime he's on the pitch. Everytime he makes a tackle I think penalty, everytime he gets the ball I expect him to drop it.
