Saints trophies for this season = 0

Our (lack of) recruitment policy costs us dearly once again.

Andy Farrell till the end of the season would be my shout.

Firstly, we can't plan for having two front row forward out.
Secondly, We are still top and in the CC semi
Thirdly, cheer up!

yes, there is.
Wasn't there a big commotion when Wire signed Johns and Bradford signed Morley late in the season.

I have a feeling that it's either mid or end of July.

I'm hoping its the end of july:D

It was stated to be the 21st July on Radio 1 when Leeds failed to sign some Aussie centre last week.

Perhaps Bradford will loan us Sam Burgess, they have no use for him now do they.

1 - Course we could. Instead of this daft policy of having 16 senior pros and 23 children, we could have 20 senior pros and loan some of the kids out.

2 - Granted, but how many times in recent history have we been the best side throughout the season and then failed miserably due to injures. Huddersfield have got a great side this year and that semi wasn't going to be easy even with a full side.

3 - No, it's not in my nature to be optimistic.

I think alot of our front row issues are due to Carvell changing his mind last year, we had that nailed on, then he changed his mind the pillock and left our recruitment up in the air!

He changed his mind, yes.
But he wasn't signing for Saints.

That was from a very close "source" when we were in Australia last year.

So daft we're top of the league, in the cup semis and have as much chance of winning the lot as anyone.

We've failed miserably without injuries too.

We got lucky with the injuries to Morley, Briers and Hicks.

I'm not suggesting we can't win a trophy this season, just that we probably won't now.
