Talking to a Saints fan this afternoon, and he said exactly that.

I couldnt understand them either

So you think CH is n`t ready for the step up to SL.

No i'm not saying that mate because i think he is ready for SL.
What i'm saying is saints are consistantly a top 4 team and they will want a ready made prop to replace JG,i think it will be a while before CH is ready for that level of RL.

No probs ...............I think CH will be there be the season end.............I hope he`s still with us by the way next season.

well i hope graham takes the nrl by storm, a more loyal player you would be hard to find, unlike the money grabbing waste of space eastmond is. however more importantly to leigh, i do think hilly will go, and i will wish him well, because he has been simply massive for us over the years, and i for one think he could defo make the admitted big step up to sl.

Maybe Madge will take the brothers Grim with him when he goes to the Bunnies??

Not a chance, he's done his time at Saints and now wants to prove himself against the Aussies. Eastmond just cashed in before he did anything other than showpony about and get injured every 5 minutes and disappear in big games.

Hilly will be a Saints player next season.............

Hill is a SL player playing in the Championship as simple as that, he is THE best player outside SL never mind best Prop! He would add to any SL side

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.
