As he eluded to in the League Express, Jukes held him to a system, wouldn't let him play what's in front of him. McNamara did exactly that. And I forgot to add Jukes preferred Burt Reynolds to Langi at 6.

Not cynically Harry - maybe realistically, eh? Just to think, when we signed these players, our owner was saying that he couldn't believe how KC had snapped them up at the price he paid. Being naive, I thought he meant we had got them at a bargain price!!

I don't know about you, but I feel gutted at the opportunity we were given, by the other SL clubs, and have blown it? We've been there before, but it seems even more painful this time!

Alan, you could put a thoroughbred in a race of Donkeys, but if he refused to run he wouldn't win

Craig Hall, Jordan Thompson, Pete Mata'utia all very good signings & doing very well elsewhere, add to that Ben Crooks, James Clare & Bryson Goodwin *who the club/Derek should have moved heaven & earth to keep* I hope Brysons price was high, Ryan Hampshire doing well at Wakey + Samisoni Langi & Josh Drinkwater at Catalans, all lost or let go at various points.

We had a very good squad in both 2017 & 2018 barr the odd filler, what we lacked is a proven top level coach that the squad believed in & respected.

Edit.

We never really got to see the best of Pat Vai-Vai or anything much at all of Kyle Lovett who rarely got selected.

Saints' coach Justin Holbrook, recently commented on the ridiculous situation where players who are responsible for bringing a club to its knees, were then promoted, en masse, to Super League. I wonder who/what he was talking about?

No need to doubt who? I'm sure a few are questioning that at present.
