emmitt is only talk of going on loan as he is contracted til 2012, but we should of kept bryn as hes a good solid player who never lets yuo down and always gives 100%, glad we have LMS but prefer bryn to him, even better we should of had both

Do we boo Bryn now he's off? Traitor and all that.

I'll will personally shoot anyone who does that!

I'm undecided on Bryn. He made a beautiful offload for a try against Crusaders and I'm sure there have been other occasions when he has done the same thing but they've gone unnoticed. However, whether he should have developed further by now in that and other aspects of his game is hard to tell. That he works hard each and every match is without doubt. However, working hard and being considered 'good enough for Saints' are two different things I guess. Every team needs its hard workers, though, and I wonder if we are wise to let him go given our injuries of the last two seasons. However, we may have had no choice. Given that his contract was due for renewal he may well have wanted to leave.

We won't have any Wiganers in our team now, will we? That's an advantage anyway.

Just curious Ski how did you feel when Brett Goldspink signed for Wigan.

I think you have to consider his yardage stats. For a good deal of his career he's achieved a net loss of 1-2 yards relative to the forwards playing at our closest rivals. 1 or 2 yards doesn't sound too bad, but given the sketchy distances we've been hitting on deep kicks for yardage over the last few years the numbers start to add up.

Long, for instance, was never a great yardage kicker and against sides with good kicking games (and good packs) we were often playing at a ten-or-more yard deficit per set. Which was bad enough without the cumulative effect of Hargreaves' handicap.
