I am informed that Welsby is not a happy bunny at Saints.


Stories like that always seem to appear when sides have an iffy season. In terms of Welsby, he's had a funny season really. He's never quite looked at his best but is good enough to still have major impacts on games. It's not a Saints/Wigan thing to say that I think he should've gone to the NRL. He's achieved everything in this country now and a move out of his comfort zone can help him to keep progressing. Everyone is different and he may well be a home bird but he surely regrets it in later life if he doesn't go and see how he gets on.

He’s allegedly had a bust up with some of the senior players.

He probably has. Things like this happen at a lot of clubs. Look at Utd- Keane didn’t speak to Giggs for 6 months, didn’t speak to Sheringham or Schmeichel. Sheringham and Cole didn’t utter a word to each other for years.

Welsby certainly looked happy talking about the departing players on the Saints goodbye videos and singing the team song last night.

Said not earlier in this thread, Saints aren't done yet.
I can't see them scoring a load of points against us, Wire or HKR but if the weather turns I could definitely see them defending 12/14 points.

Saints v Wigan Academy Final a week tomorrow following on from the Reserves GF. The same two clubs year on year produce quality players from superb youth systems. Last year would've been a Saints v Wigan Academy Final too had Wigan not made 47 subs in the SF :wink:

Regardless of the rivalry its to be applauded on both sides.

Gutted I can't go as I already have tickets for Utd who are playing FC Twente on the same night

I’m guessing both will go as strong as possible. I commented last night that it felt like a cheat code that Robertson played in our SF (he scored 2 and assisted 3) but then I noticed that Farrimond played for Wigan in the SF too.

Should be a great game

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Welsby will go to Aus probably at the end of 2025 or 2026,that'll suit his personal circumstances.
