By far, love this guy.

they do occasionally give longer offers out yes, I believe Meli got 2 years a couple of years ago. But this is rare, and even club legends like Long only get 1 year offers, which given that he did ok in 2010 and looked shot in 2011 was the right decision by them.

I realise that no club has a crystal ball, and that some players simply won't join at all unless a longer deal is offered...but I'm not aware of any club paying off and releasing players at the rate we do.

And if you look on the saints board there are many saints fans who cry foul the saints "sentimental" decision to renew "club legend" Paul Wellens contract for a further year over the off season (and they're gonna hit the wall when it happens again this year ) - but why let facts get in the way

I saw him first. Reserve your love for Joe.

Seriously, Talanoa is quality and requiring better service. Outside Joel Moon he'd be scoring tries for fun. Great work rate out the back too.

Although last week Yeaman came good with a decent performance he should hever have been on the teamsheet in the first place after his shambolic effort against Widnes. The fact that Radford so publicly failed to put his words into practice after his outburst only four days previously makes me doubt his commitment to team selection on merit. That was his chance to demonstrate that the proof was indeed in the pudding and he didn't take it. And he did have alternative options at centre last week.

Rightly or wrongly, the suspicion that Radford has favourites is therefore sown - by his own hand.

Our club's auto-renewal of contracts to players like Yeaman and Horne has stifled our recruitment for far too long.

Our last few seasons of recruitment and retention have been absolutely god awful and handing out ridiculous contracts to substandard players like Crookes, Arundel, Horne, Yeaman and many others who have now thankfully left the club, has left us where we are now.

Well we are not going to get relegated and we are hardly going to be challenging for the league title or the GF so if these players are not good enough why not get some of the youngsters in. Give them the game time and experience of the top flight level they need to move onto the next level. Or are our options that poor when you look outside the main 25?

Look, O'Meley's gone and everything. I saw Tally-ho first.

He'll be a club favourite without a doubt, and yes, our best 3/4 so far and getting better all the time.

Nobody comes close to Joe!

Meh, he's done for 8 weeks now. He'll be spending his time blow drying his beautiful hair and wearing ladies t-shirts.

the SC means you cant have class players 1-17, you need home grown players to with the overseas rule. All clubs are in the same boat. The players mentioned would walk into most superleague clubs.

But WHAT DID HE CREATE I am sick to death of people defending him because he holds his own with the occasional crash tackle. Time to ship out - sorry

36-37 sounds great entertainment for the fans of Radfords
new style of more `entertaining rugby'.
Personally I prefer winning rugby.
Hope we're not going to see double standards from Pearsons
end of season review - the clock should be ticking

You on about York ?
