Can we have a blanket ban on SARL articles?

Just literally make things up

Should always be each case on its own merits and there are so many factors to consider. An example of something you might not initially pay a lot of attention to is what happened with Bateman, in that he went over as a single man and came back with an Australian partner. Easy to say in hindsight but you’re then almost dealing with an overseas player in risk terms because if a players partner gets homesick, you’re facing an issue. I look at Smithies and I’d never rule out a return for that lad but things can change between now and any potential return.

It’s like reading a comic. They put out a story out yesterday with a headline of something like ‘Saints sign world class back’ and then when you read it, they were basically just saying they have cap space and a quota spot and they might sign a back at some point if they find one.

I’m almost certain it’s Dan from the other forum that runs it.

yes it was!

Tommy

I'll give you that one, he is the only only one

He played loose forward quite a bit at Canberra.

If Sutton comes back motivated and in shape then he will be a very good signing for whiever gets him and I would have taken him over Thompson (due to bigger fitness worries with Luke) but I always thought it was disrespectful to Wigan and Superleague how he went over there and lost all his puppy fat, if he does the same in reverse he might not be so great a signing.
Looks like if he comes back it will be to Leeds I reckon but Saints you would think would be interested.

This.

More than any other player who went over, Sutton showed what he could have been giving Wigan, and wasn't.

he did that himself in the gym before he went, obviously different motivation

Tomkins came back and strengthened us, he was better than Escare, Same for Sarge and Budgie, they might not have been as good as when the went but came back and were better than was here

Don't feed the trolls mate.

What is this about?

You cannot be serious?

Something he clearly could have done when he was playing for us, but chose not to.

As a junior player, I wanted nothing more than to play for Wigan. It's difficult to imagine someone getting that gig and then not putting the work in.
