Very strange. Percival's deal is one of those horrible ones. If he turns out to be the star he looks like he could be, it'll be too short and like Eastmond he'll be talking about walking this time next year. But good to see him signed up.

Can someone explain Turner's new deal for me? He's already got another year after this one and hasn't played well enough to make securing him for longer a priority. Why not just wait to see how he performs to the end of the season and look at it then?

Good news on both counts well done Saints. young players signed up is what we need. Please lets hope we think about not rushing to extend the deals of certain forwards

Re: Turner and Percival sign new deals : Tue May 07, 2013 3:43 pm  

I agree, good news on both counts. I'm pleased these two have signed up for longer. I've been impressed with both of them, particularly given the continued upheaval caused (lately) by Brown's continued messing about with the line up of the team.

Some good news at last, would have liked Percivals deal to go to 2016. OK with Turner has done reasonably well considering he,s had to operate with an unsettled side and poor quality service from our acting halves.

Except for last week when he was an half.........

Perhaps Brown is giving all the squad a go at it.

Should be interesting when we get to Perry and TP. I wonder which one he'll play at 7?

I'm surprised we haven't sign Percival up for longer, I agree with Saddened, could be Eastmond all over again.

Re: Turner and Percival sign new deals : Tue May 07, 2013 4:40 pm  

I'd love to sign Percival and myler and get a widnes team built up but can't see it. Fantastic news for saints

I think with Percival we can reassess in 12 - 18 months. Ste Tyrer looked a talent at 1st but his career nose dived. Percival looks more talented to me but he's still developing so lets see where he is in 12 months or so and then we can offer him a new deal well before he's OOC. Good to get him signed up.

The Turner one surprises me too. Unless he was being courted after by other clubs I'm not sure why we've offered him a deal. Maybe Saints and Brown see more long term potential than we do on the face of it?
