I couldn't understand why they let Emmitt go in the first place. He would have been a good interchange prop for them this season, who could have built up to a starter as the season went on. Seemed a strange decision to let him and Hargreaves go at the same time.

Though I believe Hill would go well in SL Saints need much more than him to replace Graham as he does the work of two props. Hill is one of the very best in Champ but it's still a big step and as mentioned even more so to one of the best clubs in the game.

If he was at the level he'd be there by now on big money but only time will tell. He couldnt go anywhere better that's for sure!

Slightly overstated as is 'being big time' just SL or at one if SL's top sides? See Shenton & Westerman as examples.

Is it just me or does this make no sense at all?

Meaning are you 'in the big time' just by playing Super League or is there a step above that?

Right, got you now. I guess that's down to an individuals opinion on what they see the threshold as. For me, the SL isn't a lucrative enough competition to be classed as 'big time' with one of the weaker teams.

You'd have to be performing in one of the top teams at a top level to really be classed as big time. However, that's just my opinion of course.
