A current in form saint is in advanced talks about a new deal. The are NRL clubs interested but the player wants to stay and the club want him to stay so it all looks good.

Well, I know from reading the Star today that Sia is in talks and he definitely wants to stay. Apparently St Helens offers a slower pace of life than Sydney (whodathunkit?) and he prefers it that way.

You're paranoid.

So far, whenever a Saints player has said that he is in talks with Saints to the Star, that has been exactly the case.
They are in talks. He hasn't signed up.

I certainly think four years is to long for Dixon.


Let's not get carried away here, he's started the season off very well but I'm seeing the old saints trait of compering him to ex great saints backrows. He's not anywhere near the quality of a young joynt or a young gilmour at this current time.

Let's see how he goes and let him develop without putting so much pressure on him.

Over the past three years he's showed glimpse of being decent player but st time he's looked below average (as Royce has said).

I'd wait until mid season and see how he's playing, if he continues this form id give him a two year deal.

I did say given current form, I wouldn't expect us to sign him before more than half the season, same for Wheeler. 4 years maybe too much but I think 2 is too short. A good player on a 2 year deal tends to develop and then sod off. Although not Joynty yet in 2 years he maybe closer to it and then we'll have to be laying off bigger bucks to keep other preditors at bay.

Bit like Eastmond a 2 year deal, just mean renegotiation after 6 month for a good player as other clubs come hawking round.

Has anyone checked the small print on Lance's deal? Maybe we can find a loophole?

Lance runs around most loops from what I've seen and ends up back where he started.

Lets not forget Gareth Ellis is coming to Saints
