Gardner has been rubbish for 2 years, but since he's moved to the left wing spot and he's come back from injury he's actually played very well. Against both Warrington and Castleford his contributions in catching high kicks in particular was very good. He's a very frustrating player.

by the same rule you cant have superstars in every posistion with the salery cap so good hard working honest players are a must. he runs the ball in well and has deffo improved under the bomb so i for one can see why saints persist

except Ade is on an internationals wage, and he just doesn't justify that

You have complete 10 years before the allowance comes into place.

Welcome back Rogues, what posters don't realise you have an early symptons withdrawal plan at this time of the year, which upto now normally reflects the Pies participation in the play offs.
Kind regards John
PS Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Probably a few senior moments or you need to go to (I will let you finish the line)

This is a myth. Hes not, all that happened is he got a better payrise when he negotiated his contract than he would have, had he not been an international. Ive heard £100k a year bounded about. No way, no way at all.

Wouldn't you class being on a higher salary because you're an international as 'being on an international wage'?

My thoughts exactly!
Whatever wage Ade's on, he's on more than Lomax and Foster, who offer more in the same position, I'd even rather have Wheeler on the wing instead although he's not as good as a winger as those two

if Gardner was on the wages of a 'good hard working honest player' then fine - but he signed his current contract as the best winger in the game and England's first choice.
