When can we start the scapegoating

Having 2 proper half-backs just feels wrong.

interesting, who is leaving Saints this season and coming in next season? must be at the cap now.

We've only brought in Vea and Burns and have Sia, Manu, laffranchi, clough going. The first 3 are on good money as well.

Easy enough room for another player at least.

Wheeler as well, who was on a decent wedge according to rumour (though not the superstar money laffranchi and Manu supposedly pick up).

Always a good sign when opposition fans start calling for the cap limit!

Fair play, I was led to believe he was on an "average sl salary" which is roughly 50k - I will bow to those with greater knowledge on the matter.

Between Clough and Wheeler there should be enough for all the upgrades, which leaves Sia's Manus and Laffranchis left to bring others in. Were shaping up well imo, just need another forward and well be set to go!

The average superleague salary is £62k

He'll be on something close to that next year but with nice appearance bonuses added on.

I agree we could look really good again for next year but I think another 2nd rower is needed. Having a proper 6 and 7 is almost unheard of for us and it's makes us instantly more dangerous to opposition sides.

Lomax
Makinson
Turner
Percival
Swift
Burns
Walsh
Amor
Roby
Walmsley
LMS/NEW SIGNING
Vea
Wilkin

is as good as anything in Super League.

Hohaia
Masoe
Thompson
NEW SIGNING / LMS

isn't half bad either. With the following squad members:

Wellens, Dawson, Hewitt, Charnock, Richards, Walker, Greenwood, Flanagan, Savelio, Beaumont (?)

Wouldn't surprise me if he makes every game next year - if a move of clubs doesn't do it for him I don't know what will!

If we can have everything announced now that'd be great, all the none-speculation and silence is deafening!

Also, to get back on topic, the article that started this from hdm didn't actually say anything the league express didn't 3 weeks ago!

Re: Welcome to St Helens Travis Burns : Thu Sep 18, 2014 2:02 pm  

Any more news on the Turner to NRL rumour?

Re: Welcome to St Helens Travis Burns : Thu Sep 18, 2014 2:38 pm  

Good player, should excel in a side with a load of good players. I think our BOD have done the right thing if the 100k is true.
