yeah unfortunately i wasnt being,
i think its disgusting and hypocritical of saints, their fans, their board, and rfl as a whole

You need to chill mate, you've been on our board all Mornin spouting the same stuff.

Youth isn't the answer to everything and youth can't replace every player that leaves (would be good but impossible) or we'd all just play our youth teams.

The has to be a balance of youth and old for it to work. Going all out youth may harm the club but also harm the kids if they are getting beat every week and getting a physical beating.

With foster, wheeler, Ashe, Armstrong, lomax, Dixon, magennis, ashurst, clough, Gaskell we have enough youth not forgetting shenton, Moore,LMS and Sia are still under the age of 25.

Also we've lost jammer and eastmond who are still young lads.

Add roby to above post

Dont worry we are getting Puletua instead

We're hardly looking short of back rowers next season.

he probably will come to wire as anderson is heavily linked with a move to catalan and we will need a replacement plus doesnt look like saints will be chalanging next year unless the youngsters pull one out of the bag.

You're right - it's not exactly a priority area!

He is a good player though.

We won't be challenging next year? We are challenging this year with a massive injury list, playing away every week and had the eastmond saga to deal with!

We will be stronger next year playing at home, good quality players coming in and the great batch of young players we have will be a year older.

Good post mate, you made me laugh.

Really?

I also read on the superleague.co.uk article that Saints will be losing Leon Pryce as well. Does anyone know which club he's going to?

Another one we've missed out on.

This will come back to haunt us.

Then you obviously dont understand the importance of experience within a team. Imagine where we would be without Hoffman this year or Deacon last year; look how much we struggled without Gleeson until Pat came back in. He is a BRILLIANT signing and noone cares about Saints signing him its just those fans that used to say the same things about us signing aussies that is annoying but at the end of the day. Saints themselves didnt come out saying "how dare wigan sign Hoffman and Lima" it was a select few of their fans so technically you can only moan about those fans not the team the board and dont even understand why you included the RFL?
