Whats peoples opinion about taking a risk with Jason Cayless ?

With his injury Record this season i doubt he would cost a huge sum..Maybe a short contract just to see if he can regain his full fitness

Just a thought so be gentle

He will be back playing but i would expect it not till be 2011,not worth a punt now. Great player on his day but needs time to get over as best he can all his injury problems.

Great player, but he's going back to Australia. He (his agent) is already trying to engineer a move to Parramatta.

Just a thought on the prop/2nd row which a lot of us feel we need.
What about a punt on Jason Croker from Catalans. Injured at present and ooc this year.
Could he do a job for us bringing experience, bulk into the pack, a good 60 mins each game and a talker to help in the dressing room.
Although getting on he's very fit and can still manage SL standard?
Would not come too expensive either.
Thoughts?

No, I think Long's book may well contain the true reason why JC hasn't played for Saints since the league cup game. The injury sustained there should have kept him out for 6-8 weeks. Not the season.

I saw him yesterday having his dinner in Frankie and Benny's in St Helens and there is nothing up with him

I would rather get rid of Bailey and bring in Puletua on his wage, I think it would cover it and if not send a young player on loan.

Puletua is on a 3 year deal with Saints and is not available.
Bailey is here and Croker is available.

I'd take Sam Moa any day of the week.

We'd be a laughing stock if we signed him because he's about 79 years old.

I think he means his brother Frank Puletua who's a prop/second row aswell and is off contract at Penrith.
