Brian, I don't always agree with the way you post but, with that, I'll quite happily buy you a pint.

Terrible trolling attempt.

Go on, I'll give you a bite.

Don't know if your purposely ignorant to Percival in your 3/4 comparison, but there's not a centre in the league I'd swap him for. He's very young, but he's already one of our best players. He'll be the very definition of a strike centre in 3 years, and is already running (and defending) better than most. Savelio got a lot of credit for his second try last night but the angle Percy ran was just as important to score.

Putting Gelling and Sarginson ahead of Turner and Percival is proof you're either trolling or completely clueless.

I totally agree leeds 3/4 line is miles ahead of everyone else's at the moment - BUT I believe it's purely down to the fact they've been paying unders for their spine for years - Sinfield has already said that they have turned down better offers, so it's easy to invest 500k on the 3/4s when you know you have Maguire and Burrow and Sinfield, all quality players, playing for far less than they should. Unfortunately for them that is coming to an end...

Thompson, Savelio, Percival, Swift and Vea will all join the fear factor players in you list soon enough.

Saints biggest problem is KCs inability to pick the correct team - we all saw the difference in the team when Vea (a real second rower) replaced LMS (who should of been at lock)

Good post. Percival is ok at the mo but needs another few years. Like us at the mo, we don't have the strike power out wide in the 3/4. Sarginson and Gelling are fairly descent,
especially with Gellings handling skills to offload to the winger. Your forwards are excellent but the 3/4 overall does'nt have any razz. Quinlan looks a good player-been excellent
so far from what i've seen on the telly and i like the way Walsh playsl, especially considering he's coming back from injury. If i was a Saints fan though, wouldn't it be great to
get a quality centre ala Gidley/Lyon to just spark things off. For me, with a couple of quality signings in the backs would make you very difficult to beat. Leeds have been the
other way round- their backs have been spot on but they've added Cuthbertson and Gallaway to strengthen the forwards. On their day Leeds are the side to beat.

The day we require direction on matters RL from a Warrington fan will be the Rapture.

He really should have waited until after today.

Getting taught a lesson by Hull KR, well at least our lesson by Leeds was fruitful

Haha, obviously the post was tongue in cheek, but joking aside they have gone backwards.

I wouldn't take Flanagan over him, but currie has to be one of the most overrated young players in the game.
