smells entirely of eastmond syndrome to me. I'd be amazed if we get more than 1 full season out of him in the first team

Re: Andre Savelio : Sun Oct 19, 2014 9:53 am  

Always going to happen with the money in NRL and the wraps from Burgess and Graham etc. It was just over 12 months ago couple of mates from Brisbane were saying Broncos had Walmsley on there radar with talk of Sam Thaiday coming the other way but nothing came of it....luckily.

If we do get some part of the season out of an injury free Sav, it will be a bonus for the 2015 season.

Re: Andre Savelio : Sun Oct 19, 2014 10:20 am  

From what I have heard he was offered a contract extension by Saints but decided against signing it. It's a very similar situation with Joe Burgess and Ryan Sutton at Wigan, and I guess there'll be a few others also awaiting the Aussie call.

The three of them I believe still have one year left on their contract so things may change, but the money on offer over there will be much higher. If Wigan and Saints chose to get near or match the offers then it puts them in a perilous position when the next really good youngster comes through.

Leeds had a similar problem with Jordan Baldwinson and Mason Tonks and they were allowed to leave to go to NZ Warriors (although both have returned after failing to make an impression in their U20's side)

edit - I hadn't heard of any offer for Savelio, just that he didn't want to sign his extension, so that would tie up with the OP

Lets not forget this is all rumor.

Just a shame we will not even get to see the lad play more than the few minutes he has if it's true.

Re: Andre Savelio : Sun Oct 19, 2014 11:07 am  

It really irritates me when people keep banging on why Sav ain't played more games etc

It's been stated 1000s of times why he hasn't! His mum even made a statement saying why!

Players health is priority in any situation and saints and especially Brown have handled him excellent with what he's been through.

He has turned down nrl and saints offers until he knows that he can be as good as he was and intended to be.

Not my words but the words of his mother. Was your failure to mention the "NRL offers" bit accidental or deliberate?

Oh and his mother said that, and I quote, "Andre wants to be a great player for saints".

I hope Andre gets back to his best and wish him all the best in his recovery. Saints have shown a lot of faith in him and I hope he repays that faith.

Eamonn McManus, unlike some other SL club owners, wants to keep the best young homegrown players in this Country and in SL.

And we doing well in having home grown and british players and soon will have a British coach.

Wello - home grown
Tommy- home grown
Percy - home grown
Jones - home grown
Swift - home grown
Lance
Flash - British
Mose
Robes - home grown
Amor - British
Sia
Lms - British
Turner - British

Richards - home grown
Thompson - home grown
Manu
Walmsley - British

From our grand final winning team we had 8 home grown players, 5 other British players and 4 overseas players which is pretty good going IMO.

We also had Lomax, Wilkin out who would have started but obviously another another overseas player in Luke Walsh would have played.

Deliberate, as the person who told me didn't mention it, it was whilst we were talking about Burgess and Sutton.

Did you read the post that Savelio's mum put on Redvee? (Incase you don't know what Redvee is, it's the forum that you go on to every day of the week!!!)
