Is that reference to internationals, or people with names like Louie McCarthy-Scarsbook?

Very good, sir. Very good.

I'd suggest the opposite. Up until a few weeks ago when the wheels started to fall off at Hudds I'd suggest he'd had about a season and a half of being one of their top performers. I wouldn't write that off because of a bad patch in a team in turmoil.

And when you say "your", do you mean young players in general or specifically ones at Saints?

"Your" I clearly mean some of the young St Helens forward players, what is a Credit to both James Graham and Louis McCarthy -Scarsbrook is how they both come from Non Rugby Backgrounds and show up many youngsters who do.

It is clear (which is no shock) most of you don't like Louie, tht is your choice, so we will gladly keep him, he has had offers before but like many St Helens players he shows loyalty.

I don't think that many "don't like LMS" I think they just don't veiw him as anywhere near the finished article (yet), and would maybe like to see the club give a youngster a chance.

But most would say he would be a valuable member of any super league squad and I would be happy enough if Saints added him for 2011 (along with Perry) if they have to replace Maurie.

thats a bit of a stretch, as i said before, he's good, but not great, if we signed Perry he'd be our 3rd or 4th prop depending if you count Tony P as a prop

Re: Rumours thread. : Sat May 29, 2010 7:46 pm  

I'd go in for Feka from Wigan. We'd get him on a reduced contract and he'd be great impact with Faasavalu for Perry and Graham when they come off. That would be an awesome foursome.

Re: Rumours thread. : Sat May 29, 2010 7:49 pm  

no i realy dont think he is by far one of the worsts props in SL and he carnt even last more than 5 minutes

Yes he can.

He might last more than 5 minutes, but his impact doesn't last much more than 5 minutes. Bringing both him and Fa'asavalu off the bench at one time, would mean that Perry and Graham would only be able to have a small rest, and wouldn't be able to have the 20 minute rest that most other props get. Feka would be a very poor singing, IMO.

Re: Rumours thread. : Sat May 29, 2010 9:22 pm  

Feka will surely retire. Apart from his comedy run backs from kicks offs and the odd barge over try he's absolutely awful as a player. Too fat, too unfit and his defending is so bad that Maguire chose an academy player over him today and then didn't even field him I don't think (Tuson).

He's shown his professionalism with him not being able to sustain training under Maguire.

Steer clear.
