can we just put up a white flag, how many more bloody injuries. At this rate we might have one first teamer in the squad for the next home match.

If we had a bigger squad it wouldn't be a problem. We've got 4 or 5 injuries, but Wigan, Leeds and Warrington have just as many, if not more and it doesn't bother them.

And yet apparently we are spending to the cap ...

Re: 19 Man Squad for Leeds : Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:51 pm  

I agree with the posts made here, we seem to have very little 'strength in depth'. If it is true that we are spending to the cap we must have some very inflated pay cheques for some players. We have a lot of young players in our squad who won't be expensive to pay. The likes of Warrington and Wigan have as many, if not more injuries than us and can still field a very strong team. Leeds have more injuries than us and although their front row is decimated at the minute they can still field a fairly strong pack. I hope there are numerous signings to be coming in next season along with the stadium, or we're well and truly screwed for a few years. The youngsters we're bringing through, many are just not up to Saints' past standard.

In fact I just have at a very generous 7/5. I also had an even more generous bet on Quins against dire at 9/2.

I use bet365, their odds are more generous usually.

They have us at 6/4 and Quins at 6/1

Exactly. I'd pay, in all honesty, a good £2,000 just to see the payroll figures for Saints.

How the hell we can be at the cap limit is beyond me.
