I'm happy with Shenton & Wheeler as our centre combination. In time, I think Wheeler will offer the most in attack, but it's on defence where we'll prosper. Both are very solid indeed.

Certainly frodsham's progress seems to have stalled (mainly with injuries). I don't think Emmitt is going to turn into a first teamer. Who are the other props in the u20s? Have I heard old rogues wax lyrical about a lad called Cooper?



Pity nothing came of the brent kite rumours....

Unless the conservatives sort out the economic confidence in the pound the chances of us signing anything of quality from the NRL are massively reduced.

Its got stronger (against the euro, anyway) this week. Perhaps the prospect of a change of office is giving investors confidence in the UK.

Eric Grothe Jnr to arrive next month.

Youve been begging for some rock n roll in the saints team for a long time.



You dont get any more rock n roll than Eric Grothe Jnr and we get an enforcer to boot. He would fight his own shadow!



We dont have a quota spot though which is a shame, id love him at Saints

Craig Hall

Looks like Shenton is all but done from what i've heard.



Good signing imo. We could of done alot worse. The Aussies wont be coming over any time soon with how poor the pound is.

What is your source. Don't mince about, just PM me. I'd love to know where these concrete signings come from.



By the way I heard mine in Asda in Golbourne, near the pie stall in a conversation between two randoms, thought nothing of it, then read in the paper how Grothe is looking to move to Super League.

He'd be crucified by the fans for his turnstile like defence.

I think he is better than he was.



Definately looks as if british centres are being scrutinised.

It's all a game of cat and mouse. Howes was the agent

for both Shenton and Hall IIRC.



After the Roby / Wild situation it's clear that all parties

(Clubs , Players , Agents) play a bit of poker.

Add into this the Facebook revolution.



Hence there are a lot of rumours and not all of them

are Webcke like.



Golbourne ASDA seems the place to go.
