That'd apply to the population of St. Helens too!

Ward was crap but we expected him to be crap. Perry was a big name signing and has been awful

Worse than that, he turned up, showed (on occasion) he could do what we expected but practically went down hill (fast) from day one.

Perry has been paid £150k a season over three years, and in this time has only played 44 games for the club. This works out at more than £10k per game and he has been nothing short of an absolute disgrace in at least 40 of those games. This has surely got to prove he is the worst signing ever for anybody??

I remember when St.Helens signed Micheal Smith from Castleford and thinking he would be a good signing for Saints but then for some reason it just didn't work out - did he even play a game?

he turned up for a pre-season friendly looking like he had been on the Nigel Wood diet, and that was the last time we saw him. Pretty awful signing, but nowhere on the Perry scale.
