Quote: morrisseyisawire "My advice to Saints fans is enjoy whatever success comes your way this year, because after it you will be in need of major, [imajor[/i transition.
Of their starting 6 forwards, Thompson is off to the NRL and the rest are well past 30 and tailing off into periods of niggly injuries and decline.
The much heralded youngsters in the pack really didn't look like they fancied an attritional battle without Uncle Alex to hide behind and the backs without Makinson and Coote look pedestrian.
Face facts, the current squad peaked last year at OT, then flattered to deceive against Salford last week and finally got found out last.night.'"
Talk about getting carried away!
The end is nigh!
I assume when you say all our starting pack are "well past 30" you have forgotten Walmsley/Knowles (not yet 30) and are including Peyroux who is well past 30 in that he turned 31 three weeks ago?
Roby and Thompson will be tough to replace for sure.
