I think there was a big doubt about the Hankinson try, Ritson’s effort getting chalked off was the correct decision. It’s swings and roundabouts there are umpteen decisions that can be debated, none more so than a number of Saints players being offside following NM’s break and M’Bye’s subsequent try preventing tackle on Cross. Regarding Paasi he was the architect of his own downfall, not wearing the prescribed mouth guard.

I hope for your sake that is not right, Sailor is not in the class of Welsby.

Leigh missed 35 tackles, Salford 59.

To be fair Stu, the difference between what Saints do with possession and what Leigh normally do is chalk and cheese.

I’ve read it somewhere that Sailor was receiving Aus $ 300,000 from the Broncos which equates to circa £155k. He won’t come cheap.

We were in discussions with him at the end of last season maybe he’s regretting the fact that he signed an extended contract with Saints ? He wouldn’t be the first or the last.

He will undoubtedly have some kind of break clause in his contract.

Hahaha no you weren’t.

We weren’t in official discussions with him, we did though approach Saints about a transfer fee.

With French, Field and Farrimond why would Wigan want Welsby? Other than to get one over on us.

That’s not to mention Eckersley who looks a fine player although granted he may end up as a centre

We just needed someone to clean their boots

If Welsby goes anywhere it will be to the NRL

Maybe someone at the club thought that Welsby was a better long term prospect than Field or maybe Field was looking for too much in his contract extension negotiations?
Whatever it was the club I believe approached Saints and Welsby would have known about it.

Welsby would have been aware of the the approach Jon.
As a minimum it would have given him an improved contract when he resigned and maybe the seed of thinking about moving on had been sown.
