Your obsession with youth is alarmingly worrying, not the Wigan version of purple Aki are you?

I wonder what he's going to bang on about when Moore replaces KC and one of the kids replaces Long?

Probably something to do with image rights, singapore or another equally tedious drone.

not old enough for w***n though


the products of your academy system are doing really well at.....huddersfield, hull kr, widnes, halifax, oldham etc etc etc

Not for Saints, I'd don't think.

I don't know if we [ineed[/i a great prop, just a good, big one. I reckon there's some underrated british players that could go great guns for saints - rlGriffinrl from huddersfield always seems to impress me.

Someone along the level of rlWoodrl or rlLuke Burgessrl would add an awful lot to our squad, without being a marquee player in their own right.

[iI don't normally like quoting those stats, but i reckon prop is the position which they represent most realistically.[/i

I agree - a Fozzard type signing would do the job, I remember a lot of people saying he wasn't good enough for us but he did a job.

I agree on Wood - I rate him, although he seems to be injury prone? Strangely enough I also think Gareth Haggerty could do a job as a squad prop.

Fozzard was a great signing, wasn't he. Not quite the talent of someone like Morley or Graham, but played his heart out to get to (almost) the same level.

Is Haggerty playing well? I remember rating him well when he was at Salford, but haven't seen him for London.

If Jason Cayless goes at the end of the year, we have a big void to fill. We need a top quality forward IMO.

I agree with Blobby I know Cayless has had a bad run with injuries but when he was fit he was awesome. I will now wait while all the " He's always been garbage, never thought he was any good " merchants come on here and show their ignorance of Rugby League.

Cayless is one of the best in the world when fit, but when we replace him it will be like having an extra player, he has spent so little time on the pitch.

Personally I'd like to see us put a bit of faith in the young backs we've got coming through and use the spare cap money we're bound to end up with on buying two big props. If Clinton is available and good enough then let's go for it.

Get Mase the ace back he has beter stats than the lot of them.

Fozzard first few seasons were very poor, IMO. However, he then stepped up a few levels and started to impress, was a decent signing in the end.
