I’m not sure what to expect from Blake. An experienced NRL player, who wasn’t able to deliver the standard Saints needed in SL. But it’s the championship….
Surely he’s got to be able to deliver a high standard in the championship?

Hopefully another Jayden Okunbor.

I'd be very sorry to lose Myers. Of course its understandable that any young player wants to play SuperLeague if they get a chance and there is also the point that he isnt guaranteed a starting spot at the Bulls either after the recruitment of Blake and Armitage. I have always liked Nobby but I do worry about his preference for expensive experience over youth (remember Leon Pryce and Iestyn Harris). The club needs money to fund the positive changes made recently so a transfer fee would be good, but are we paying too much to fund Blake's pre-retirement stint?

Pre retirement blake is only 30 3 years younger than armitage

Nobby's job is to put the best team on the field. He's doing that. While I'd prefer to keep Myers if he does go to Wakey he'll end up sent out on dual reg. He'll get plently of chances if he stays and sees out his contract. He can then take his pick at the end of the season.

I remember back in our heyday Noble getting flak for wanting to swap Langley and Reardon for Gareth Ellis. In hindsight that would've been good business. As for Harris that was an bad bit of recruitment but at the time I think Noble wanted a more consistent performer at No6.

Listened to gledhill Saturday before it mysteriously vanished come Sunday again and on it he said a signing is taking its time due to waiting for a visa to come through.usually in the past they've signed the player then said waiting for the visa when he's already announced so wondered if this player has some things in his past which might make it difficult to gain a visa hence taking time .A player like Micheal Jennings for instance.

Or it could be just an excuse… id read nothing into that at all they would be announced subject to visa approval

Hopefully we're not interested in a person like Jennings. Awful excuse for a human being.
