Plays many more minutes as well. Very impressed with Weyman.

Jordan Cox has been rumoured since before the playoff game from the saints end.

James Green was then mentioned earlier in the season to come to us alongside Cox.

Travis Burns is the latest "rumour" to saints to replace lance hohaia whose rumoured to be returning to the NRL at the end of the year.

At this point I just think there's an agent who likes using saints name. 3 from one team isn't going to happen.

There probably thinking if Beaumont can get a contract with saints any of us can

Don't think this would happen, not for the foreseeable future anyway.

Saints not got any promising forwards in their under 19's ??

Rovers get a slagging with the apparent lack of youngsters coming through their ranks. Taylor at Wigan, Beaumont at Saints, and now the names of Cox and Green to the latter tends to dispel that myth now.

Neither do I (well, I do think Hohaia is going back to the NRL, but I don't think travis burns will be our target replacement - that's no slur on him, but our chairman has made it clear what he wants for the team and burns doesn't meet the here for the next 5 year I'd imagine.)

As for our youngsters, it gets more confusing, as we have a tonne of them. Richards, Savelio and Thompson all played vs Leeds as 18yr olds - greenwood is developing well and is younger than cox - walker gets mixed reviews, but is still young, and has (the dreaded word) potential - that's a pack in itself! We need youngsters who are playmakers - any of those we could steal?

I wouldn't use Beaumont in any argument you use though given were 2 months into the season, and he's still at least a month away!

Fair enough. Was allways a strange decision that he went to you, and I suppose the jury's still out with him in your eyes. Even so, you took him off our hands, so there must of been some promise that you saw in him?
Cox would be a more ball playing forward than green, so I can understand the interest. Green, id say is more a battering ram. Still if you've got so many promising forwards in your academy, then I don't know why you wouldn't persevere with them first.

Beaumont on paper was a great addition - big and heavy! Brown obviously thought he could get him running his weight (the complaint I picked up on here) - alas we've stopped giving out expected return dates!

Green, Richards, Greenwood, Cox, Savelio have the potential to be a truly world class pack to be fair, though I'd rather hkr benefit from their own youth development!

Paea isn't playing for a new contract yet beats all your props on most stats relevant to a prop. (averaged out to games played.)

Yes I am bored & yes it's a shame he didn't show up on Thursday night.

one thing that doesnt show up in the stats is how slow his ptb was i often thought he would have been better finding the floor after bending the line, rather than slowly making the last 3 or 4 yards with 2 men on him, find the floor and quick ptb would have been better on many occasions, if he regularly off loaded that would be a different matter (its not hes left us he is garbage, id have him back in a flash) Walker and Weyman get up quick for props gives good yards on the next run and chances of a pen with men not back

weyman a 10 minute donkey

Are you twelve??

Idiot

Don't dignify it with responses, look at it's posts - Out and out troll.

I believe he is but unfortunately with the IQ of a 2 year old.

I'd like to see you play for ten minutes carrying fatty Paea in your back pocket soft lad!!!
