I doubt you have ever seen him play - stop being a sheep mate and just going along with the opinions of others on here and the demented twitterings of some Saints fans. Bibey is no world beater I accept but he is a far better player than most of his critics ever were, will be or could be.

Did you watch last weeks game, Bibey was the best prop on the pitch

So no mention of the stirling work he has done this season.

Outstanding in the games he has played thus far - admittedly a long way to go, but all he can do is try and keep that level going - and from what I hear that is his stated intention!

To be fair he has been dreadful the last few seasons especially when he has been used as a centre. I rarely question JK but this MUST NEVER happen again.

As a battering ram and a tackling machine this year so far Hendo is worth his place. So long as he realises that is his job and he no longer has those brain explosions when he momentarily considers himself a creative player I'm happy to have him.

If I ever see him play centre again I may well have to turn and face away from the pitch during the time he is on. I'm getting old and my ticker ain't what it was

100% agreed - but he has found a new lease in the second row this year and, IMO, has stood into the shoes that Big Dunc wore for us. He has said that he aims to be the best second row at the club and backed himself when the opportunity arose to move to Fev. That'a a really positive sign for me!

But NO, No, no to the centres!

Clayton from Cas was the poorest player I've seen in a long while. Don't know if he's still there.

Way off the mark, you cant have seen much of him, a real grafter, good support player( 7 tries last season, which aint bad for a forward in the bottom team) and versatile. Cas would have kept him but celtic threw alot of money his way.

Yeah he is, though he is unlikely to play for us again unless we have a major injury crisis. At NL level he looked quite good (got in the dream team) but never did much in sl, having said that he only played half a season and his shoulder was bust for half of that.

Even with a busted shoulder he was still a far better player for us last year than korki, moore and halbrecht.
