Not a massive surprise given the size of his ego and the fact he had achieved pretty much nothing in the game to back it up.

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.

Really not sure what to make of this improved contract for LMS. He is in a rough patch of form right now but that could be down to lack of confidence/direction due to the half back situation.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.

Really an improved contract for LMS, that's going to depress alot of people.

If you had to give players what they are worth from what I have seen of them. Then prop wise our top earners would be

Walmsley
Clough
Laffranchi
Walker
LMS
Perry
Dux

I think people are thinking of LMS predominantly in terms of the last month. He's in a shabby spell of form at the moment and generally speaking he can blow hot and cold, but for large parts of last season he was one of our best players.

He was very good last year but that was coming from the bench. Could he be one of those players that is just more effective from the bench ?

That's true. I think he turned out our top metre making forward (bar Roby, of course). He's just so inconsistant. Look at the try he scored agaist Cas - ran hard onto the ball, hit the gap and then demolished the fullback.
There was that game against Wigan last year when he was the only bright sopt with a great performance in a beaten team.
We need it every week, or at least more weeks than not.

The faliure of Josh Perry, combined with replacing Graham with Laffranchi has left us bereft of a pack leader. Did someone mention Micky Paea for next season? He'd be a good pick instead of Boof or Perry.
We need to unload the two above as we're carrying them (or trying to).

I think he is.

He reminds me of Fa'asavalu in that respect. People remember his good days, but he could be pretty anonymous too.

At the end of the day I think LMS is the kind of prop you bring on to do some damage to a pack that has already been softened up by your starting front row. If you play him from the start or if he comes off the bench into a game in which your starting props have been hammered than you're not too likely to see the best of him.

I guess we need to find some starting props, then.
Ben Harrison and Brent Kite, please.

Glad to see this, he's a good solid player and is pretty good in attack when he runs wide, as he did against Cas.
