Only Swift I'm really bothered about from all them. Flanagan and Greenwood for Squad plates maybe but not as starting players.

At a push he can get away with playing fullback but he can't play anywhere else. He can't be a utility player as they cover more than one position and he can't.

He should have retired at the end of last season.

I don't think he should anywhere near.

I hope Brown sends out a signal of intent at the start of the season and takes the no.1 shirt off him. Sentimentality will mean he won't do it though.

There was an article in the star mid season quoting that he had leaked it in the sponsors lounge
before a game.

nothing official from the club.

He was quoted in the Star also last December saying he wanted an extension before a ball was kicked !!!

For me he has been very ordinary, his only virtue is that he is not perry and plays a few games.

Can't ever remember him really dominating a game in his two years.

Flannery Mk2 on former Test player wages.

Not sure he's actually put pen to paper tho but he certainly agreed terms.

We should 100% let howarth go back to Salford. He's not good enough.

I wouldn't keep the other out of contract players either with the exception of Flanagan who is IMO a squad player that can cover sia and Manu if need be.

Howarth wasn't wanted this year even with our struggles so what makes you think we'd want him next year with a better squad?
Sends him down to the championship that's his level.

The fact he's a Salford player is why I'd send him back:

He's an ex Salford City Reds player, not good enough to be a Salford Red Devils player.

He still has to go back to you though. Once the season finishes he'll still be under contract for a couple of months. It's up to Salford what to do with him, not Saints.

Don't let the money make you arrogant by the way. I've always liked Salford and even go to a few matches. I'd hate to see the fans turn out like Wire fans.
