Any truth in the rumours that he's coming to Saints ?

If you do a search there's another thread on this

Quite simply, he won't be at Quins in 2011.

might be at the Milton Keynes Kings though

Gutters if you are about on Wed
RN V RNZN 2-30 kick off at the philomel Devonport navy sports complex, you can get on base

If not check maori tv later in the week as they are coming down to film it

I will be the brit with the flag

The Chief Scout on the Saints forum claims (Tuesday night) Louis has signed for them, I thought he was Hull bound, still sad to see him go, but he perhaps need to expand and work with a better team, that is what made Jon Wilkin look good, but will Saints pack be strong next season?

Yeah the problem for us is we need to be successful on the pitch to build the fanbase and losing one of our best players can not be good. Especially as I would have thought as a londoner he would want to help rugby league and Quins build and grow.

At this point in his career he either cracks on and becomes an international or he stagnates (like he has for the last 18 months) and goes nowhere. The only chance of keeping him down here is if the club announce a really top line coaching appointment (Graham Murray or Steve Folkes) or someone LMS thinks can help him progress (Karl Harrison).

The way things have been going at the club I wouldn't blame him for leaving at all.

This again shows our "true colour's" yes we need to be build the fan base and new London supporters will identify with their own boy's, but I can't blame Louis, if he has any thoughts of success and maximising his earning, does he have any option.

Roby
Graham

So yes, very strong in fact.

Personally, I'd rather LMS didn't come to us. I wasn't happy that we signed Shenton. It would be ideal for local guys to stick with their clubs, especially in London where the road has been long in bringing through local talent. However, it would seem that the players themselves see things differently. I personally have no idea whether we have signed LMS. I now know we have signed Shenton. But it would be good if Quins could find a really good coach who will bring the local guys on to the next level, as well as recruit a couple of big Samoans for the front line, so that next season Quins will be seriously competitive and see some of the fans returning. Then the cycle will be upward and perhaps the likes of LMS won't be tempted away from the club. Assuming he has been, obviously.

er......I like the fact you are pro-london RL......but please explain returning
The average gate at London RL games since 2000 is 3,607. The average gate this year will be about 3,400......the highest average (apart from the first two SL seasons) for London is 4,238 in 2006, the first year back at the Stoop and the first as Quins RL.
There are no fans to return........there never have been any and that's where the club fail miserably.
6,000 to 7,000 is the break even target......the minute IL was told he couldn't own 2 clubs, this and this alone should have been the No 1 target at the club...

Oh do STFU Gutters. This thread is about LMS but you couldn't resist your tiresome tirade about attendances.

Back on topic, seems Louie has signed for Saints (Brian Mc hinted at this the other day).

A bit surprised really, as he hasn't really had a good year and doubt he will be winning the POTY award.

Obviously Saints can see his potential and I will be really proud if he can make it there.

Not only will we miss him, we'll be losing our best song too!

GF......we all know that more needs to be done on marketing and we are desperate for more support so I don`t disagree with your train of thought, but is it really necessary to pick up and correct every visiting poster`s general comment and turn it into yet more stats and another side swipe at the clubs failure......for heavens sake the OP`s comments were positive above Quins and we get little enough of that.
