Doesn't take a great feat of memory to remember Sandow to be fair.

Difficult to claim you don't have any ambition when you have spent hundred of thousands of pounds on transfer fees and signed Sandow in recent seasons.

Your squad at the start of next season will tell you if you have any ambition. You've got 12 or so off contract so have plenty of room for big changes. I'd expect Gidley and Sims to be gone and replaced with better players. Fullback isn't your main area of concern at the moment, so it's not a showstopper that you've missed out on Barba.

thats more like it.....and you are Correct on the fullback front.

If anyone watches those videos of Barba running in great tries he's making runs up the middle of the park feeding of nice passes or good offloads.
what's he going to feed off for us at the minute... Ashtons Sims crazy offloads or Kevin Browns head high bullet passes??

a quality organising half back is a must....we simply haven't replaced Lee Briers.....

Mind you Saints have only just replaced Paul Wellens.... icon_wink.gif

We're the biggest spenders in the league: how does that show a lack of ambition? You can claim the money has been poorly spent, or that players that were brought in aren't up to it, but that's another matter. Fact is, with no decent Aussies available, and a dearth of talent in SL at the moment, there's not much to throw your money at: we're brought the likes of Clark, Lineham, Westerman, Brown and paid fees. I hardly think that's lacking ambition.

What we really need now is a show-stopping, excitement building, get bums on seats and make us real contenders type signing. I don't watch the NRL enough, or stay close enough to the various dodgy fire-sale type players (Monaghan, Sandow, Barba) to know who that might be, but we risk being left behind and drifting back into the middle of the pack where we find ourselves now if we don't, I fear. A top class half back is a must. With Ratch a FB, Clark at DH, Westerman at LF I think we're pretty close to having a top class spine-we need a marque half though, and I hope Moran is prepared to dig deep for one/we have the contacts to make it happen.

Signing Barba certainly would have shown the ambition to take us back to the early-mid 2000s.

Weren't Saints supposed to be skint?

Was it you who was saying KC left because of the lack of money, where has this money come from, have you got new investors?

To tell you what I can tell you and let you speculate, some posters guessimates have been quite interesting.
It's all good fun too.....

Or should we just talk the same stuff about Brown, Russell and Evans every day?

I can't believe we could ever have been seriously in for Barba if we were unable to offer him a marquee spot.

I agree to a point speculation can be interesting but I'm sorry RD all the "done deal" stuff doesn't help your case if of course you are bothered/interested?

I don't know about "social media secrecy" if this one doesn't come off it'll be 'social media idiocy'.

BTW I think that on the whole we are ambitious they may not have all come off and perhaps we should be higher up the table v money spent but that kind of proves the point, ambition doesn't always equate to results

For me, one thing that can't be levelled at the club is lack of ambition. We've recently acquired some of the best players from other SL clubs including mos Clarke. Barba is the first noteworthy signing saints have made for quite a while and I can't see where any club has been more proactive in the transfer market than ourselves. Some of those transfers, so far, haven't lived up to expectations, but it sounds like the board are going out again to find us some top players to give us, once again, the best chance possible.
