I think they have more pressing concerns of their own at the moment, to be honest.

Great news on the sponsor.

Pleased with the signings too. Fozzard may be 33 but his experience will be an invaluable asset to the club which the young forwards will benefit from immensely.

my girlfriend says i'm immature, and it's time we set aside one day a week so we can talk things through as adults.
like THAT'S gonna happen in the middle of conker season!!

I think theres a hint of sour grapes about Foz, He will do a job and do it well, and we need his experience to help our young uns on the field.

very happy with both signings

maybe from HKR fans but not from Saints. Foz has been a great for the club overall but as a player I'm afraid he is well past his best. He served his purpose this year for Saints which I think was to provide cover for injuries and mentor some of the younger forwards.

This is what I assume he'll be doing for us too. I don't see where the beration comes from to be honest.

Not far from t'Jungle

Matterson and the club have placed a lot of emphasis on the experience Fozzard will bring to the club - sounds like they're looking at him more as a mentor to the young forwards than as a star player on the field. I guess he was faced with the option of joining Cas or retiring so probably isn't costing too much. If that's the case seems like a decent signing to me.

Emmitt looks a promising signing - Saints fans seem to rate him and he's at the age where he could improve massively in the next couple of years.

The off the field signs are as positive as anything we've done playing wise so far. As has been mentioned already, the fact that a proper sponsor is prepared to put a large wedge of money into Cas at this troubled economic time and also is getting naming rights to the east stand at the new stadium further suggests the stadium is looking more like a reality! The additional board members is another positive as well.

Motto of the week -

It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.

If there is (which i doubt) its very misguided. Foz has been great over the years but is well past his sell by date and was very ordinary last year at Hull KR. Not sure how much he figured at Saints but i doubt they will be losing sleep over there.

Fozzards signing makes no sense especially as you released Higgins to accommodate it.

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround."

An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.

Higgins gave us nothing. Absolutely nothing. Overweight, no offload game, clumsey but he "tried hard". Fozzard has a wealth of experience and can help out the likes of Huby (who I thought was sensational last season) Emmit, Walker & a couple more of our youngsters, plus will be slightly better then Higgins I'd assume.

Huby Jackson Fozzaed Emmit Walker > Huby Sargent Jackson Higgins (which is what we had last year in the front row)

George Bush says 'we are losing the war on drugs'. Well you know what that implies? There's a war going on, and people on drugs are winning it! Well what does that tell you about drugs? Some smart, creative motherfookers on that side."

The fact we released Higgins to accomodate Fozzard makes a lot of sense to me, and probably almost every other Cas fan. Higgins wasn't even fit!
