Even if we do get a prop it’s not going to change how we approach the opposition’s try line. Hang on, there is no approach.

We had all the pressure and field position to put that one away last night but we were just far too lateral near the opposition line and we’re not capable of building pressure as every time we turned the screw we came up with a silly error/unforced penalty.

The squad we have is good enough to survive and should do. I don’t see any reason to add to it and put ourselves under further financial pressure unless we can identify the right caliber of player who is available and who will add to the quality of the team over the course of the next 2-3 years.

Last thing we need is another Green who comes in does well for a month or 2 then offers very little beyond that.

Yeah gotta admit I’m very disappointed with Green, he made an impact when brought in on loan, showed a little bit in patches last season but this year, the guy just doesn’t play to his size. Pathetic really!

Wtf, Leeds must be paying him a tonne. He’s a quality player who I reckon saints would of loved to have kept.

I spoke to him a year or so ago when of all places to meet him he came to view my father in laws house, came over as a lovely quite lad with a good head on his shoulders looking to find a house over here so it it must of been on his plans back then to come back to Yorkshire, having not really broken into the saints team at that time but it soon became apparent he meant business and impressed me with his desire to be on the winning side
