I've not seen much of him play in the last couple of years are his performances in that much of a decline?

The times I have seen him play this season he has been good.

When I was a kid we used to go to my Nans at Clinkham Wood, we used to pass an old peoples home and they used to sit outside. Langtree Park the modern day version any idiot gets a bed and yes I think even Howarth will get 12 months to join the others on the ward.

There's not a chance we'll give Howarth a contract

They played him second row tonight that wasn't going to happen either

IMO it needs a massive clear out and wello, TP, Perry,Laffranchi, Meli, Ade, Howarth are all players we CAN get shut of because they off contract.

The front row is so slow, weak and lacks any aggression that its embarrassing. Laffranchi and TP are shattered off the pre game warm up.

This is our chance to have a good revamp but we won't.

Hasn't Ade signed a new deal too though?

I've really made an effort not to get as down cast as some of the other Saints fans this year, after all, every team must go through down periods. But this..... This has to be the most depressing piece of news I've heard all year.

Yes I think he has but we had our chance to have a mass clear out of all the deadwood. The likes of wello, Meli, Ade, Howarth, TP, Perry, Laffranchi could all have been shipped out.

We would then have cap and quota places to replace them. Lets be honest, even the average of Aussie/kiwi props would give us more than Laffranchi, Perry and TP.

He's awful. I can't put in words how poor this guy is. How can the club keep him?
