Add to that also some of their youngsters aren’t as good as Sky would like to make out. They could all go on to be great players but at the minute look miles off….Robertson included despite Sky gaslighting us. Our youth that has come in this season has looked physically ready whereas it’s the opposite for Saints….that has been the opposite of seasons gone by.

Lots of good points in there. If you are going to give a contract to Knowles or Lees, however, you should be pricing in the fact they will spend a third of each season out suspended.

Good post.

Just to highlight Clark…
Not me. The guy was constantly missing 3 weeks or so through daft injuries.
My view at the time, and still is, as I said with Hill and others, better to lose a player a season to early, than a season too late.

Anyways

Saints I reckon they a large chunk of their cap wrapped up in ‘season too late-ers.
I’m pretty sure the likes of Lomax, Warmsley Clark would have been shafted out of a Wigan club 2 seasons ago, and ours a season ago.

Is giving Clark a 3 year deal, to hastily fill the void of Roby, who also played a season too long, an act of red mist from Mike Rush?

Wellens' post match comments were interesting, questioning if the older players have now had too much success. A Saints coach basically questioning the desire of his contemporaries who he played alongside, effectively saying they might not give a stuff anymore, a week after getting himself a new coaching deal? That's pretty shocking.

I said this when we let Clark go. They were looking to replace one old head with another, hoping for a like for like replacement and it never happened. Clark has had too many injuries at this point and we were shrewd not to fight against the deal. You look at what Walker brings with his pace and kicking game and we're all the more healthier for having him as our 9.

Saddened hasn’t been on here for a while….

It's all a fest, a 12 month extension shows the board aren't confident in wellens, that's easy to pay off.

Wellens throwing his players under the bus publicly isn't a good look.

Cracking viewing for us 'neutrals', though!

Kendall making a meal of this video decision.

Also on that London try had the ref sent it up as no try it would not have been given. Kendall really looked for a reason to not give it.

Would be disappointed if we conceded a try like the one London just did, why was winger so far infield.

Wonder if Asiata will get a ban for that.

O’Brien should have gone for that tackle but Leigh get a scrum . Hope that gets looked at tomorrow. Before anyone says am I trying to get Leigh players banned for next week no I am not but given interpretation of rules O’Brien is lucky to be on the field. The Asiata late hit seen bans given for that.

Redvee in meltdown over this Leigh game, O’Brien should have got a red card and 2 try’s should be chalked off. London just levelled it at 12-12 though.
