Figures.
What do you think the chances of getting our night games played under UV floodlights with the teams in flourescent kits is?

That would be awesome!

Not a rumour, but just watching the NRL on MSK now and apparentely Carl Webb and Willie Mason are off contract and without a club for next year. I think Webb would be a good signing. He's the kind of brick sh*thouse, impact prop we could do with.

Lenegan enquired about him last year, not sure what the reasons were as to why we didn't sign him, but im sure his club went as far as saying they would grant him a release to come to us.

Sounds like he could be on a high wage, then?

Doubt that would be the problem with Lenegan, going off the signings we've just announced.

The problem wouldn't be with your owner affording him, but with managing your salary cap allowence.

Until someone leaves, have saints got any foreigner slots available?

If you go off the Super League rules no, but if you use Wigan's calculator we could import half of the Australian males between the age of 18-34.

Pure comedy that mate. Seriously. Inventive ha.

Tbh (not just from a wigan fan) but I find the number of academy produced players in a side more important than Aussies, such as Wire who don't have a huge amount of imports, but don't have a massive amount of hown grown players in the team (although they are improving).

Plus the fact we won't actually have that many aussies next season.

We are "cashed up Superleague powerhouse St.Helens" remember, we can afford anyone!
