| 2011.
I have made it known during the off season that i think Saints have best pack next year.
Who do you think of Warrington's forward pack next year?
Who in super league has the best pack (e.g. scariest, biggest, most dynamic)?

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Who is Saints fourth prop?
Perry will miss the first four or five games of the season.
They have released four props and signed two, so how are they stronger than last season?

You would never catch me with one of those childish signatures: |
|
| I'd say Wigan's pack is the best overall, and with Hock to come back mid-season it looks very impressive, with our pack, Saints not far behind. Then theres Hull KR and Huddersfield who have both added well to there pack, theres going to be some big forward battles next season.....can't wait.

| Saints will have the best first choice pack IMO, with Wigan the most depth. Saints' front row is certainly the strongest with Graham/Perry/Roby starting and TP/LMS/Moore coming off the bench.
Graham
Roby
Perry
Wilkin
Soliola
Flannery
Puletua
LMS
Clough
Moore
I expect big things from Magennis if he can stay fit too.
Rogues, I'm not sure how you can argue Saints' props aren't stronger than last season - yes we released 4 but one wasn't even being considered for selection when fit (Fozzard) and one was a shadow of his former self, barely playing through injuries (Mauire).
Best 5 props:
2010 - Graham/Hargreaves/Emmitt/TP/Clough
2011 - Graham/Perry/LMS/TP/Clough
No comparison.

But you are effectively naming two players in Clough and Puletua as props when they played the majority of their games in the back row last season.

Paul Clough played most of his games in 2010 off the bench as a prop and is no longer a back rower.
We've swapped Hargreaves and Emmitt (two plodders) for Perry and LMS (two internationals), got rid of Fozzard who couldn't get a game and Maurie whose body was falling apart and turned Clough into a top quality prop (check out his stats against, say, Andy Coley who had a big season for Wigan in 2010).
Saints are far stronger in the pack for 2011; finally Graham will have some genuine quality support in the front row.

But if you play Soliola and Flannery in the back row then who is going to play in your centres? Meli? Wheeler? One of those at least will be in the centres.

One of those at least? One at most you mean surely, Shenton has one spot nailed down. If Wheeler is fit he'll pay centre IMO - he played there when fit in 2010 and did a great job.

Soliola was bought as a centre (poor decision IMO) Wheeler has been unable to string more than five consecutive games together for four years.
Perry is already missing for the first 4 / 5 games of the season.
A fully fit Saints starting 17 will be a difficult game for anyone, but after that there is a big lack of strength in depth.

Completely forgot about Shenton tbh. And I know if Wheeler is fit he'll play centre, but how often is he fit?
