I agree with the sentiment of ignoring him. He is simply a player with potential who is way above his station, and will need to improve his attitude if he wants to get anywhere near the England squad in a different code.


I do wonder how 'big' he will think the game of rugby union is if he never makes the England squad - waiting around freezing in the harsh British winter waiting for the umpteenth goal to be kicked, in front of crowds even less than what he is currently playing in front of.

You have to update your opinons of Union. Their domestic league is better attended than Super League.

Whilst I understand your tongue in cheek sense of humour, I don't have to update anything. He is moving from St Helens to Bath. Which team is better attended?

In terms of home games Saints, because Bath are capped by their ground. But he'll play in front of more people on average in Union I would expect. Most games will be 5 figure crowds.

And despite what he makes out, he isn't even going for the Aviva games. He is going for the European cup and the Internationals.

Baths current home average crowd is 11,555 which is higher than saints have averaged for many many years.

We've topped 11,000 average in 2 of the last 4 years, so I think that's a little disingenuous. It's not as if there are rampantly more fans at Bath than Saints - they are pretty similar.

Come back when we have our new stadium and make the comparison . . . . . I'd imagine Bath will be at least 1,000 on average down on Saints.

As a big massive Saints fan for years I now admit Union is the better game. They have move forwards the last couple of years while SL has gone backwards IMO.

Our game must change soon.

I agree. But he might be jumping the gun a little bit there.

and their biggest crowd (this season but its nearly over) is only 12200, which must be near capacity. Where the old girl regularly got 17500 at capacity, so if its bigger crowds at home games hes going to the wrong place
