Now how good would that have been?'"

If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...: |

Probably because we got Matty Head instead. A great short term signing but Soward could have been the long term answer for sure. I think he was on the fringe of first team at the Roosters at the time. |

| Quote: super_fc "Very good point about our pack, they just don't lay any sort of platform for the likes of Berrigan, Horne, Thorman to play off (which is why we don't score any tries). Take Dowes for example, I really don't get what people see in him, fair enough he works hard, he plays nearly all the game blah blah blah... but I fail to see how this is actually a good thing? Props should be big, mean, aggressive ba$t@rds that break the line and play 15-20min stints repetetively. Who the hell wants an '80 minute prop'? When does Dowes EVER break the line, offload, etc? Never is the answer and although King and Thackery arent exactly perfect, at least when they come on they give us abit of impact. I look forward to seeing Manu, Lauaki, and hopefully a new prop all play together next season, then we might actually have a pack worth boasting about.. but until then, the likes of Dowes, Radford, Cusack just arent what we require imo.'"  top post, agree completely, Dowes, Radford, IMO are not good enough, and should be released at the end of the season |

| Quote: Robbo4 "I always find this odd. Our pack did fine in terms of making yards down the middle as it usually does. The main problem is the painfully slow PTB and how clueless we are attacking the line.'"
Have to agree the players seem to have a rest when they get tackled rather than getting a quick PTB which always puts us on the back foot |

"did anyone see NQ cowboys against souths this morn? the cowboys had 2 big ruff buggers up front, scott & tronc, not big names but big hard foookers backed up by o'donnell (who squared upto crocker btw) and a kid called bolton? theres plenty of talent around,not big names, just blokes you need when the goin gets ruff and mongrel the opposition.
our problem is we have no contacts in oz who watch these type of players week in week out in the NRL, we sign blokes who come for their payday as its the easy option. the last kid we signed who was a no namer was probably colin best at the time.'"
And backed up by Webb also . |

our pack contains to many plodders and until we change where going to still have half backs that can't operate at there full potential, we get dominated in every tackle turned onto our backs so were like upside down turtles resulting in slow play the balls, you watch the likes of leeds saints wigan wire and there forwards are on there knees when tackle is complete ready for a quick play the ball, additionally a few of our forwards just have no leg drive at all they hit the 1st man and go down like a sack of sh*t.
Until we get some nasty bast*rds in our pack we won't dominate games.

By the looks of things , Cusack is going to be offered an extention to his contract. Thats fine by me as long as King ,Moa , Thackray and Radford are released and we spend abit of £ on a big go forward prop.

agree with that list apart from jamie thackray,as he is now starting to get back to his old playing self and as things stand deserves a new contract. |

We really need to "lose" three or four of our $hite forwards and bring in two quality ones but it's not going to happen because our coaches seem to love very average forwards and we seem to be stuck with them !!
Radford got yet another year without even playing a game this season !! 
Can anyone at all please make any sense of that ?? |

With typical under-statement, Saints coach Mick Potter said: "Sean Long didn't surprise me. We all know how good he is and he should be happy with the way he went." That could be translated as, "damn him, damn, damn him, the little ...":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44592.jpg |

Its a rumour. If one thing the last 3 or 4 years of signings has told me is that anyone we are rumoured to be signing we never do. We seem to do a good job of the announcement being the first we ever hear of it. |
