I'd go for a prop as cover.... not sure who though ?

Harrison & Cooper are the cover for our 4 front line props

Have a watch of the first half of this interview with Smith where he explains it actually means pretty much the opposite.

We should have a word with Warrington-Worldwide to see if they can get Smith to explain what Bridge did to deserve a sending-off at Huddersfield to solve that other mystery.

I hear you've been outbid for Bateman by Hull. Scary to think how much he will be being paid if that's true.

If true it happens. Last season Saints out-bid us for Tony Puletua, imagine how much he is on.

However I wouldn't be suprised if you're wrong on this and Bateman instead ends up in Australia next year.

I hope your right. Don't want anyone in the P&B with a rats-tail.

I'm glad Hull are the new Warrington, in terms of getting the mantle of paying outrageous amounts for very mediocre players.

Firstly Eddie Hemmings is never spot on......

Secondly (In a John Bishop accent)……. he's a knob

Thirdly its widely regarded we have a very strong SQUAD, Hemmings himself often says this when We rest the Internationals like Carvell , Bridge, (and Solomona if you want,) and then still dry bum Saints at their own ground.....

Fourthly if its or bust for us what is for Wigan? Our players are only getting old, two of the three of wigans' most influential players are going back to Aus next year.....why not mention that every week

Fifthly Wires hadn’t won a trophy since the Regal trophy in 1992,Tony Smith has won us a major honour in every year he's been in charge. I’d say he has an idea what he’s doing….

Sixthly as already mentioned we are in another cup final admittedly its the major cup final that sky pretend doesn’t exists because its more famous than The Grand final, and admittedly we might not win it. But if we are going or bust we are having a very big poop before busting……

Seventhly we clearly have loads of talented kids coming through anyone who pretends otherwise hasn’t seen the under 20’s league table or read about our England Academy players.

Eighthly that’s enough

If its true I for one am glad

Just a feeling, but I bet Bateman has a long but fairly mediocre career and will be no better at 25 than he is right now.

I could be completely wrong; maybe it's the rats tail and all the obligatory tattoos at just 18 that makes me think he's a bit of a numpty

A much underused word, which in the correct context can convey so much. Well done sir!
