Allan Langer?

Quote: howley-wire "A few weeks ago my sister had a surprise visit by John Wilkin at The Village hotel and he said that we've signed him for next season.

How true It is I don't know.'"

Jon Wilkin will never sign for any other club than Saints.

Be delighted if the Wilkin signing is true, we've been crying out for a half of his calibre.

I think he was talking about Eastmond, not Wilkin.

Quote: Builth Wells Wire "Joel Monaghan'"


Yeah go on I'll concede that one.

As for RDs Allan Langer ................ undoubtedly a class act, world class and my memory of him is somewhat clouded by the fact that the squad he was part of never lived upto it's ability due to the drinking culture in the club. But yeah Alfie as well.

So, Matt King, Joel, Alfie. Apart from that what have the romans ever done for us?

Chris Hicks - came over as no. 3 to Monas and King.
And I'd add Monas to that list too.

Phil Blake
Les Davidson
Les Boyd

Nigel Vagana would probably qualify too, had we signed him at the end of his career icon_wink.gif

Nigel Vagana would probably qualify too, had we signed him at the end of his career I think technically you could class Blake and Davidson as short term loan deals and therefore I wouldn't say value for money.

Boyd may have a claim but he did spend a lot of his second period injured.

Blake was at Warrington for over 3 years. Davidson was short term.

I guess we shouldn't forget that SL clubs will be getting an extra £600k I think it is from increased TV revenues from 2017 onwards. Of the 12 clubs SL only 1 isn't spending to the full cap I believe.

Surely with increased TV revenues this is affordable for all clubs? Plus te salary cap hasn't increased, even with inflation, for 10+ years. That means our players are earning the same now as they were 10 years ago, I'm not sure that's fair?
