Michael Monaghan had a fantastic game against the warriors given the chance at half back. I havnt seen him play enough half back to say I want us to sign him but if he continues to play that well while Orford is injured then he should definitley be looked at.

Stacey Jones and Sean Long are both off-contract at the end of the year and while I dont think they should be given a massive salary they would be worth looking at.

Im not sure on Gowers situation with Penrith at the moment but he wanted out not so long ago and would be a better option then Long IMO.

One half back I cant help but think the club is going to be interested in is Brett Kimmorley who IMO is way out of form. However I thought Barrett would be a flop with Wigan and it turns out hes far from one.

If Cullen wants to stick with Briers, Bridge and Grix then it would be worth looking at stengthening other positions such as wing.

Hazem El Masri doesnt look like he will be staying at Canterbury and is a decent player who kicks goals for fun which would let Briers consontrate on setting the team up after a try is scored.

Brent Tate is also off contract, can play wing/centre and would be worth a look at.

Yeah your right, that's all we based it on. Never mind the 1,000,568 articles whereby he stated that if his body help up he'd be here in 2008. The arrogance of us, incredible.

So you based it on tabloid info. Superb.

BTW, Ive seen most of those articles when the links were posted on here. Most of them centred around the journalists opinion that Warrington are the front runners etc. I dont recall any direct quotes from Johns.

Oh, and cut out the bad language or we will set ILDA on you (then you won't be able to use SC or saintc)

You missed out Saint Long 3 and Reacher as well

The best quote about Johns coming to Warrington came from one of your own players - Matt Gidley.

the one where he said he liked it over here and thought Warrington were a good club. Concrete stuff that.
At the end of the day here chaps another clubs player has retired and you guys are talking as if you need to replace him. You couldnt make this sort of stuff up.

No, translated as "do one, nobody cares what you think or say, so go say it on the Saints message board" (or are you banned/hated by your fellow supporters too)

Long is off contract at the end of this season and I am sure would welcome a move to be closer to his drinking/gambling and all round aircraft antics buddy, Martin Gleeson. A word of caution, the taking of kicks at goal would not form part of his contract.
With the wedge freed up by Long's departure we'd be able to get Lockyer no messin'. It's a win, win, win, win situation.
Get him signed, now!!!!

We don't need Long, he'd be a waste of money. Were looking to the future, rather have Bridge than Long.
