If he had I suspect we'd be looking at a Dobson/Chase partnership next season.

Are Saints fans the only ones in SL who don't know that Chase can't get a visa once his current one runs out?

Once we get our influential injured players back, I would only make one change and that is to bring Charnock into the stand off role, the pack can be fixed as in most of the games the problem has been an attitude one.

Charnock , yes, maybe Yates into the squad too. They couldnt do much worse that what we have and at least they are specialists. Like I said on the Longy thread get him on board asap and see if he can help polish the turd that is our halfback situation

McManus promised us " a team to grace the new stadium".

He's broke that promise.

When he said that, Eastmond and Wheeler were going to be our half backs for 5+ years.

I can't be bothered quoting all the posts.

People need to get out of this manic depressive mode you are in no one is enjoying watching Saints at the moment but fully fit we are not that far off. If we had our injured players fit today we would have won. The players we have out are a massive loss to us and are a big part of our team.

For the stupid post asking wich one of them are halfbacks.. Obviously none but whats your point?

The point is we dont have any halfbacks . You dont win pots without halfbacks and if your not winning or competing to win what the point in bothering?

The only stupid thing round here is your baseless optimism.

I'm GUESSING here but I SUSPECT he was suggesting that demonstrates how poor our recruitment has been!

I think Saints and eventually other clubs will realise half backs will have to come from within. There will be no one to recruit from the NRL, Union, the championship.
If you look at the first 8 years of superleague the half backs then were outstanding compared to the last 8 years of Superleague.
As I,ve said before the club has hit the problem first, maybe Yates, Swift and Charnock can bring us back to standard, not at the moment though we,ve too many loose cannons, Lance being an obvious niggling problem always playing hot and cold.

It's obvious to everyone we need halfbacks so it doesn't really need pointing out constantly, does it?

It's not optimism though can you quote were I said we would win silver? I said we're not that far off with a fully fit team which we're not and beating wire away showed that. Just cause we need halfbacks doesn't mean returning players wont make a massive difference.

And like I said at the time, you can't put all your eggs in one basket with the young lads like we did.
