Tweet from @martinoffiah 23/08/2011: 'Must admit i did love watching Saints- Cunningham Joynt Longy Tommy then Leon, last classic RL team ever'. Even the dark side can't help but love the rebellion.
Stuart Pyke "and I can tell you it is NOT James Roby! Listen, I know that talks have taken place- unnamed player's agents + #nrl clubs- my final word!"
"Lot of you think I mean Hull winger Tom Briscoe - no, not him - best I can give you is other side of the pennines! #rugbyleague #nrl 2013"
other side of the Pennines could mean the other side to Briscoe, or given that Pyke is located in the North West it could mean Yorkshire.
If we have money to spend we need to throw it at 2 big props, a centre and a half back.
Been saying for while now and had it all thrown in my face.
All I got - we don't need a centre we've got wheeler. We don't need props as we've got perry, laffranchci, TP, clough and LMS. We don't need a halfback we've got lomax, lance, wheeler and Gaskell.
I seen it all coming.
And for my next prediction - Royce Simmons has set us back years! All the crazy $hit he's done will be a long road to recover.

We're fine at centre in the greater scheme of things... We did indeed need 1 or 2 props and a #7 desperately going into this season though (and I've been saying exactly the same for the last year since Kylegate too). You can't sign what's not available though and Lomax will suffice for the next season or 2 until we can bring a pukka SH in and he can move to #1 full time. Most other teams would kill to have Lomax in their team at #7 so we shouldn't be getting too suicical about it. As for props it's a bummer that the club's apparent attempts to sign another one in the summer came to naught, but we still have just about enough strength when (if) everyone's fit and producing the goods, so we'll just have to keep our veritables crossed that that's the case come the playoffs.

If we stick with lomax and gaskell in the halves then we will not be in contention of winning anything in the very near future.
That's not having a dig at the pair of them but IMO if they do turn into the players people think then IMO it will be 2/3 years before they have the experince to guide us around the field.
I'm sure the will have been good experinced halves available.
