Quote: Stu M "We didn't. We scored basic tries as we have no attack, this has never been in question. I'm the first to point out when Wigan are excellent, HKR and Warrington in the CC two prime examples but no matter what you say I don't think you were that great against Leigh, I thought they were shambolic in that first half. Completing sets doesn't always translate into points. We had a very high completion rate in the first half last night but scored only one try.

Yes the facts are that you scored 22 first half points but I think they were easy points and you didn't have to work hard to get them that's all.'"

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

Quote: jonh "Very good player which is why I am a bit confused by the recruitment of Sailor.

For me I’d be running with a spine of Clark, Lomax, Welsby and Robertson next year.

Find it very strange they have recruited Sailor to displace/reduce his minutes/opportunities.

I understand the need to maybe manage his game time so I do think a signing who could cover one of the 7/6/1 spots would be needed, but Sailor whilst not getting marquee money had offers to stay in the NRL and from other SL clubs so won’t have come cheap plus whilst mid/late 20s he’s not coming in, in that mentor role as he’s fairly inexperienced himself for his age.'"


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.

Quote: Stu M "There's a part of me that wonders if Welsby may still go to the NRL sooner rather than later and we earn a decent transfer fee.

The emergence of Robertson and the signing of Sailor is making me put 2 & 2 together. I could be making 5 but there's a nagging feeling I may be right.'"

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.

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 icon_biggrin.gif

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.

There is the possibility of two new teams in the NRL shortly. I think that a few SL players will be on their way.

Quote: The Yellow Giraffe "I’ve already wrote next week off in my mind. It would take a gargantuan turn around from what we produced in Friday to what we need to even be in a contest with Wigan. We were that bad. I’ll still be there obviously but this is just Cunningham all over again. History is repeating itself and nothing will improve now until a change is made. Wellens has not improved a single facet of our play and he is simply unable to coach and motivate this side in the correct way. It’s only a matter of time and it all comes down to how ruthless McManus is.

Also to the poster I mocked about a month ago for suggesting the League Leaders shield would be a foregone conclusion by the end of July - I apologise. It seems you were bang on.'"
