Saints are after a big name signing going into their new stadium.
They will have loads of cash spare too with the players that are going.
As far as I know, KC is going with Fozz, Flannery, Gidley and maybe Meli.
Those are quality players they'll be paid quality money too.
Shenton is exactly the kind of player they will be after and Saints will have more spare cash than Wigan I would imagine.
Don't be surprised at all by perhaps Shenton and one or two other well known names arriving at the Halton Stadium!

Saints have got the best British hooker, Scrum Half and Prop forward in there team. We're on our way down you say ? You've been saying that for the last 3 years yet we've contested the Grand Final. Our new Directors are multi millionaires and we're on the verge of completing our brand new state of the art stadium.

You really are clutching at whole box of Mcdonald straws.

One or 2 quality additions next year plus the return of Soliola will see us once again competing for honours, just like this season. The thing is our youth team like yourselves is also very good.

Didn't know Morley and Long played for you?

As for saying your on your way down for the last 3 years, nah, we said when Long and Cunningham go that will be it, good night veinna!

One down, one to go.

As for Soliola, he must be the best paid Saints spectator ever!

Actually no, for the last 3 years you've been in the Grand Final. You've utterly failed to actually contest it

Hooker, Cunningham when on form is devastating but Roby isn't even in the same league - no matter what Eddie&Stevo say. Moore isn't developed enough for weekly SL in the same way McIlorum isn't.

Scrum Half? Eastmond is a running 6, not a playmaking 7.

Prop Forward? Please tell me you're not talking about Graham? He's a plod. IMO he's a good player, but over-rated. His lack of pace hurts him. Sam Burgess is a far better player.

Steve McNamara to be next England coach and Steve Menzies to be next Bradford coach.

Re: Rumours and signings 2010 v1 : Tue Apr 06, 2010 10:07 pm  

Mcnamara. Oh dear.

Takes Bradford on their biggest downward spiral in years and looks like being awarded the national job.

Sorry but we should have gone for an Aussie part-time.

Re: Rumours and signings 2010 v1 : Tue Apr 06, 2010 10:12 pm  

Totally agree about it being part-time. A few of the 'better' SL coaches should have been approached like Nathan Brown and McGuire. What worries me is that the RFL apparently have/had a shortlist of four. Three of those are almost certainly Dennis Betts, Steve McNamara and Richard Agar.

Hmm that's an interesting choice, a great player but no coaching experience to my knowledge. I actually hope it's true, it'll be interesting to see how they perform under him.

Big no no from me on Mcnamara being the England coach.

Re: Rumours and signings 2010 v1 : Tue Apr 06, 2010 10:56 pm  

I've been told McNamara is pretty much sorted. The Menzies rumour is just that... for now.
