SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

I think we "dodged a bullet" with him.

Rogues - are you saying you would rather have Prescott than Carvell?

No that is with hindsight. Who would you rather have in your squad for next year?

Paul Prescott.
Six years younger, less error prone and a better defender.

Carvell's injury record at HullFC was awful.
When there was all the talk about him going to Saints and it was a done deal HFC fans were suggesting he'd played something like 12-15 games in the previous two years.
He was dreadful v Wigan anyway!

Hopefully Prescott will stay.
As for Carvell, I'm quite happy with the front row for next year with Fielden, Coley, Lima, Prescott, O'Carroll & Davies.
Then there's always the prospect of Hock returning, possibly to prop.
That would give us Fielden, Coley, Lima, Hock, Prescott etc.
In that line up Carvell is too expensive and not required.

What's the rumpus, Tom? [quote="Pemps":1dso5atj]I can't confirm Bennett's exact words but I believe they were along the lines of "Strewth Ian, I wouldn't touch him with yours. He's a flammin' Gala".

I know that Carvell is a big old unit and a Prop foward, but he looks really unfit to me. I am not refering to his injury status. More the fact that he is rather chubby.

I am not fishing, here but with the exception Carvell, Warrington look like a very athletic side.

I know Solomona aint exactly Karen Carpenter, but he does a job. Not sure what is happening with carvell?

"Wiganer in West Hull" [url:1y79xso5]http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=627016346&ref=profile#/group.php?gid=67950301739&ref=mf[/url:1y79xso5]:41034.jpg



I really don't understand why Prescott gets so much stick to be honest, I think he's come on leaps and bounds this year, his go forward has improved no end and he is able to stay on the pitch for long periods when we're depleted in the pack.

Re stats on the Superleague site I wouldn't look too much into them to be fair, not been on for a while but as an example Lockers stayed on 14 assists for about 6 weeks despite making more in that period so not sure if all the stats are updated as they should be. Wish they'd list the players in proper alphabetical order too the first name business is a joke and totally random whether they use Mike, Mick, Mickey or Michael for example

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif



I feel hes been a good player upto now but hes not kicked on as everyone expected and gone that extra step. He offers hardly line breaking or offloading ability which sets apart good props from great props I feel. I feel now the team has progressed as much as it has it may be time up for Preccy at 24.

tbh I cant see those SL stats being right.....Prescott seems to knock on in every 10 carries at least. Which is a shame because if he could sort his ball retention out he'd be a pretty good front rower.

There is no way prescott has only made 9 errors all season. He made two shockers against wire for a start and every time he runs into the line you get the feeling the ball is going to come lose, as you do with fielden!!

Prescott isn't that bad wioth ball retention. The problem is that he tends to save his errors for big moments in tight games so they stick out like a sore thumb. In the cakewalk we had aginst Salford the week before Wire his handling was pretty much faultless

He is a squad player at best, he doesnt excel in any area and i cant see him ever being asked to represent England (although he pretends to be Irish) or GB. I would keep him over players like Fielden every day of the week, but if the likes of Ben Davies and Mossop are coming through with Hock's return, Lima's arrival and an in form Coley, i imagine he may have to settle for a few u20's games next year.
