i think this probably mean waterhouse wont be coming, cant see how we could fit him in the quota

another one that dave (nosey parker) got wrong.

put this on rumours thread on sun. he resigned last wed. was told u do not believe an office girl, this one is not just an office girl alot higher up than that.

Our best signing of the year.

Warrington................IN YOUR FACE.

Great re-signing for your team.

Laffranchi is off quota isn't he because of his Italian passport? Not sure how we stand re: non-fed trained.

To be honest,. I don't care if we make no more singnings now, re-signing TP is HUGE!

Doo doo doo . . . .

' Play for a big club.... he wanted to play for a big club... play for a big club'

Nice one Saints... Bout time we had a beast of a pack

Massive news.

Totally surprised - thought that he was Wire bound?

Get Gibbs and/or Waterhouse now and we will be truly laughing!

There is no better signing than TP for us now, and Laffranchi is off quota, but is non fed trained (these rules are a minefield!)

Not sure what the quota is at next year, but TP is a big signing after losing Graham. Plus its another reason to have a little laugh at wire

so ur getting rid of 2 English blokes n signing a kiwi n an Aussie! Great for the future of England and the youngsters!

What does this mean in English ?

I wish my work would "get rid" of me by offering me a megabucks long term contract.

This is fantastic news. Absolutely chuffed to bits.

See rumours thread for details on where we stand quota/non-fed wise. This will mean no Waterhouse, as we're now maxed out on non-fed players next year. By my reckoning we can only now fit an overseas player in if he has already been in SL since before 2008 and has an exemption from non-fed. Hardly likely, so perhaps Chris Hill, if he comes, might be the last addition to the forward pack.

Brilliant news. The Saints board of yesteryear would never have made these signings. This is looking good for the future.

Dissapointed regarding the overseas rules. Made up Puletua resigned but me must make more signings.

Graham
Flannery
Eastmond
Pryce

4 massive players leaving and so far only 2 are conning in. We need another 2 signings IMO.

To be fair, With the arrival of Lance ohaiai (or however you spell it!) and the emergence of Lomax, Gaskell and even Wheeler, i think we're set in the halves.
We've got a zillion backrowers so flannery wont be missed, and our props for next year will be
Perry, LMS, TP, Cloughy, lafanchi (sp again!), and it looks like Magennis is following Cloughy's path to the front row too. Remember Peacock started as a backrower, and is/was one of the worlds best props

This is getting boring now, there is a massive difference bewtween the stick Wigan were/are getting and what we have done.

Jammer wanted to go to the NRL, Eastmond wanted to go to Union.

We wanted to keep them both, not happened unfortunately.

Wigan "shifted" their british talent out of the door to "make way" for the overseas signings.

See simples....(like you)

I can't believe he even writes some of them. I would understand if he had the information from a good source.

Great signing, very happy with how the pack is looking now, it was looking bleak at one stage. I knew the boss would not let us down, we should be thankful to have Eamonn in charge.

im a product of the st helens education system!
and we shifted out players cos they where rubbish and trouble makers, infact im sure ur team signed some of them! jones n hardgreves i belive

In that case then, it is true you can't polish a turd.

Only an idiot (i.e. you) would criticise Saints for their youth policy and development of English/British players.

why only an idiot?
its not better than ours!

And Sean Long..

Oh and Hudds signed Hodgson and Robinson and Brown and Wild and Aspinwall, all made way for Antipodean players.

I could go on

And at least two of them have been in serious trouble.
Which of those should Wigan have kept?

Show me where I said it was. As I said Saints have been applauded by most (sane) people and experts in the game about our youth and development policy.

Jesus, even Wigan's most famous son, Phil Clarke said we were the best in the league at it.
