I think the Saints fans are being too harsh on Foz. He's the most enthusiastic player in rugby league and is a massively positive personality to have around the place. One of the main reasons Saints brought him back from Hull KR was for his character.

He's not going to amaze anyone with his performances, but he'll be cheap for Cas and he is solid.

GREAT NEWS!

Emmitt I'm delighted about - looks the part every time I've seen him.

Fozzard I have my concerns, but, if he does play it will be a massive last 12months for him I'm sure. More importantly though will be the work/influence he can have over Walker et al.

Extremely positive news about the stadium.

1 or 2 more astute signings + continued announcements/progess with stadium = FRANCHISE

Richard Wright - you may win me over yet!

No one likes to admit they might be wrong, but Mr Wright is on the verge of proving me just that. I have been very critical of the fella in the past.
There is a long way to go, but the signs coming out of the Jungle are very positive. The new directors are a massive boost to the club, and seem to be adding an air of proffessionalism that has been so long missing from the club.
It appears that they are going to deliver a new stadium, out of nothing. In two or three years we could be a real force. Well done so far to everyone at the club.
I might (Or convince the company I work for) to sponsor them again for the season in the new stadium.

Really hope Fozzard is better for you guys than he did at KR cos to be honest he weren't much cop, Saints were quite quick to take him back now they're also quick to let him go 10 min spells thats all he can manage then he starts blowing like a good un. Emmitt sounds like a good signing and hope you do get your ground started you belong in Super League..

2 good signings for you, especially Emmitt.

He has played very well for us this season, you have got yourself a good'en there.

Unit (Emmitt) will be a great signing for you, bags of potential and a top performer for us when he was on dual contract at Leigh this year.

Fozzard should have give up the season before he signed for us.
He came to us and was good for two games, but after that never broke a tackle or made many metres at all.
Will bring experience, but I think it's a poor signing.

That is worrying....if he can't perform infront of 100,000 HKR fans what chance have we got of getting anything out of him?

100,000? Is that all? Was it raining that day?

All good positive signs coming out of the club. New signings (good signings too) new bods, and massive sponsorship deal all reported in paper so are true and not rumours or something that somebodies heard down at pub - could that be why there seems to be an absence by the usual wakie trolls saying we have made it up and the club are skint and ain't got any funding so won't get a stadium
