John has it spot on on another post. Managed and subbed by the clock.

And ive replied to him.

Very good. Cant agree with your point though.

If my lads at work put in that performance week in week out, i would put up with it.

going back to the forum this week it beggars belief that we have no signings due for next season, every man and his dog knows that this team is probably only 2 decent props away from being in a position to challenge for honours,it is just so frustrating for everyone who supports the club, that we dont have any signings to come apparently. we all know fielden has gone and has for a long time, as for feka the way he is bigged up on this forum is unbelievable,showed last week and again today he his one big expensive luxury we can't afford to have. the amount of cap these 2 take up is so bl@@dy frustating as it is holding us back from where we could be. as soon as they came on today the game went away from us,they were both an embarrassment.

I personally don't find it odd at all that we've made no knew signings for next year.

If popular opinion is correct and we need to get rid of fielden and feka, then why would you try and sign their replacements now when you'd not have anything like the cap space available you'll have at the end of next season when their contracts expire?

It seems pretty simple tbh, in the days of the salary cap you've quite often just got to tough it out until contracts expire.

I think IL is wanting to do it on the cheap ! His no new signings for next year.

Sorry Ian, it doesn't work .

Spot on, no matter how much we want rid of certain players while there under contract we have no option but to stick with them, it's just a shame that we could suffer from the same problems next year as we have this year in regards to going forward.

Or maybe he's just applying common sense and waiting till he has the [iright[/i amount of cap space for the [iright[/i type of player, and not trying to fit in 6 or 7 props (which is what you'd have to do as feka and fielden would still be on contract) and end up having to let some youngsters go?

Agree with you completely, we've just got to tough it out as a club and a set of fans.

I'd still hope that both of their performances will be better next year, get feka to gain some condition, and get stuart to bulk up more - skin graft between the two?

I got shot down by some for criticising Feka's defence after last weeks game. He played the same game today that he played last week but Monaghan exploited the holes Saints didn't last week.

It's shape up or ship out time now for sure. He should be left out of the side for the next 4 games up until the play offs under the instructions to lose weight.

If he does it he gets his place back.

If Noble is given another year and we don't make any signings for next season then roll on 2011 as far as rugby is concerned as it'll be the same old story as it's been for the last 3 years in 2010.

Flogging a dead horse with this mon.

To true, for me if we are going to stick with the same players for next year which it looks like we are, then a new coach has to come in and freshen things up, and it would give that coach an extra year to see who he wants in/out for 2011.

I thought Coley had a great game and I felt prescott held their own... Fielden, well the less said the better and Feka well his defence today was shocking, how many tries did we concede down the middle of the field... Our marker play was awful...

Why was piggy off the field soooo long?? when it was obvious moving sean and putting tommy @ 9 wasnt working... if we had of conceded one less try in that first half I thought we would have beat them today... but hey thats sport I suppose.... I am gutted!!!
