Conroy - Being a Latics fan i'm already immune to watching sh*te.
Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36121.jpg |

Linking Colbon to Phelps and saying we should have kept the former because the latter takes an overseas spot, may be on £60K a year etc ignores the fact Colbon simply wasn't good enough and we have better players in the positions he plays.
If giving Phelps a contract was a mistake it doesn't make not giving Colbon one a mistake as well.
If Colbon was still here Ainscough would never have got a game IMO! Think about that given out coaches selection policy before ruing the loss of a less than average player.

Easy tiger, your post makes it look like your whole post is disagreeing with my general stance! |

The difference, laddo, is this. Colbon was doing a decent job in the team. Goulding this season hasn't. |

A witchhunt is a witchhunt laddo. I dont see how you can justify the witchhunt of one player as an excuse to lauch one on another. One witchhunt of a young player does not make another right. You were right though when you said it is embarrasing at times. Colbon was average and no more but he did give give his all and did not deserve the stick he got. Likewise neither has Goulding this season as he was one of the better players in his 2 games. |

Good player, he's fitted in very well.
Justin said he signed him because he's big strong and robust. He's certainly proved that so far

Scored a decent try on Sunday didnt he if I remember correctly? Used his strength well?
Decent Player Colbon, always gives his all. Hope he goes well for you. |

Yeah if we can get him one on one against his opposite number he'll score a fair few like that.
His kick returns and 20 metre tap drives have been very impressive also |

Yeah I can imagine, we started using him 2nd row towards the end of last season and he made good yards then.. More than Coley and Fielden at times which said something 
Shame we dont use our wingers enough |

But they kept phelps on a rumoured 60k does anyone not think that its a good piece of business that if we wanted to free up a oversea's space phelps would be the man to go and we'd of free'd up a 60k wage packet as well and the fee may well drop for another player as a swap deal could take place'"
By keeping Colbon IL could have offered an extra 30k to Buderus, which may have ment he signed for us. We'd still have had an average utility player in the squad but on half the money. |

Yes, but last season we tried to sign Buderus but Leeds offered more money. The point I was making was we could have kept Colbon instead of Phelps and used the extra money to try and get Buderus instead of Riddell.
I do think Riddell will be good for us but Buderus is in a different class |

Yes, A class called "injury prone". He has quality without question, but Leeds have bought a crock. |

Buderus wasn't the other hooker we was looking at, it was Michael Ennis who was at the Bronco's but then signed for the Bulldogs. A very good player too. |
