Saints looked good against a poor team last night. Come the business end of the season when Mac gets Leeds ready and Wigan get tough, hull get pumped the Saints forwards will get beaten just like we saw last year with Cas. The super star at the back will go home with the hub cap and some bad memories.

Pretty much agree with that, as the title thread he is a breath of fresh air to the game if people take there club blinkers off.

Jamie Lyon, yes. Matt King, Michael Monaghan, Brett Hodgson, Alfie Langer, Joey Johns... (I’m sure many other SL fans can name a few from their teams’ past n’all)

Ben Barba has come over under the same cloud as Chris Sandow, Joel Monaghan, Todd Carney... it’s not particularly refreshing to see a player of our sport banned for failing a drugs test, crashing cars drunk, touching up dogs or urinating in their own mouths in public, no! No matter how much excitement they bring with them.

Just goes to show how bad our clubs are at producing good, exciting players and coaches are at playing exciting rugby when we have to bring over these morons to light up the league.

I'm just pointing out the obvious if you don't want to face up to that that's your choice

Saints have never voted against a cap increase - McManus is primarily in favour of a minimum Salary cap. We voted against the marquee rule because of the way it was proposed to be implemented, and preferred the RFL proposed rule to limit all home grown players to 100k - hence the compromise found to have two different values for the homegrown marquee vs others.

Saints have voted against a SL cap increase TWICE. HTH.
