illuminating as ever.

chatting to a mate of mine who's a wire fan, consensus is gidley is probably the most dangerous opposition player with ball in hand inside opp 20. when hes running at the line he usually scores or creates. been a top player for you guys and is still not done.

lyon obviously was great, never quite got the fuss with newlove mind.

R u on Glue, Gidley is the greatest Centre ever to wear a Saints jersey that I have seen. Better than Walsh and Meninga (only a fraction on those 2), but well in front of Loughlin, Ropati, McCracken, Newlove and Lyon. Give him another season at least.

Gidley has been a great signing and the ideal centre to replace Lyon when he went but no way is gidley in the same league as Lyon, newlove, big mal, iro or even scot Gibbs.

We've had gidley when he's past his best but still one of best centres in super league.

Newlove was world class.

He's just being realistic - People overlook the faults of favourite players and I'm pretty certain if Wakey had beaten us alot more people would have been asking questions about his pace/positional play .. again.

Newlove was an amazing player. He was pretty much the complete centre and I'd love a young Paul Newlove in our team now and available for England
