Mostly because the exchange rate has gone down the pan. As i showed earlier in this thread, a top Oz import expecting £200k a year will get $100k oz less per season, thats a big reason not to come.

It's not that worse than 6 months ago. Yet Hull Signed Fitzgibbon and Mark O Meley. We need a top prop, Mcmanus knows this as does every Saints fan. There seems none available in Super League so we must get somebody from Australia. Rumours like this usually dont get written unless theres something in it.

But a 3 year SL contract will be more attractive to a guy who has been told he can only have 2 years at his club in the NRL. They are probably squeezing him to fit him into the cap as well because they've resigned a lot of top quality players recently. He doesn't want to play for another NRL side so 3 years in SL might still be better, plus Jamie Lyon will have told him how amazing the place is and how fantastic Saddened! is.

Josh Perry at Saints next year - oh yes! He can give Peacock another smack too.

I hope that the Perry and Shenton deals come through. I'd love to see them in Saints shirts after these rumours.
