what a ridiculous statement !

not that long ago he was the bees knees at KR

Then he made his intentions clear, and showed that he does not want to play for our club.

Well in that case, lets give a player who does want to play for us have a chance, and make sure our future is secure.

unfortunately thats not how professional sport works.
Quick question, if Jammer decides on the NRL, should we play him in the reserves?

well if we offered to match bath's offer, then i have more respect for kyle. Yes he'll probably make more ££ if he gets into the england setup, but thatll be a very tough ask for someone of his size and lack of toughness

with great respect - he hasn't signed for Bath with big ambitions for wearing an England shirt - it's a question of dosh - I would have taken the offer of more money like the vast majority of RL fans & players would have done - it's not rocket science
when & whenever he goes he will be replaced - not a great loss in any case IMO

what I care about is what happens on the pitch - as long as he or any other player goes on the pitch in Saints colours I expect him to give 100% for the club & fans.If he's the best man for the job in the coachs' eyes then he has to play,end of.
He did a good job at Perpignan IMO and is worth his place.
I know many players who don't want to be at their respective clubs in SL & below but it's their job,they either do it or get replaced.Remember,they are professionals !
If Kyle is attracted by more money like most normal human beings then good luck to him.
He's not a big loss IMO cos' I think he would have been a regular sick-note - good luck to him wherever he plays tho' I get the impression he won't last long at Bath.

exactly,well said that man !

You cannot be serious man ! - wouldn't this have drastically exceeded the salary cap ? or is there a way round this sort of thing ?

Its entirely possible, but i personally dont think Kyle was worthy of becoming one of our top earners YET , Jammer and Roby definitely are and could easily be on £200k plus if Saints wanted
