Josh Jones is having a really good season for Salford. A very strong runner, who makes his fair share of breaks and metres. Very good signing for us.

I've always thought Jones was good. Big lad but he can shift too.

Surprised Saints didn't go back for him, maybe Cunningham not a fan of the way he left?

Yes the very same, left Saints for Hunslet then on to Leeds.

I think it was more that we'd replaced him with a similar player (Peyroux) by the time he came back. I like Jones as a player but with the salary cap it would be difficult to justify having two centre/utilities in the squad. We may well have been spent up anyway.

Jamie Foster is still at Huddersfield isn't he? He's another one.

Carl Forster at Salford and Chris Dean at Widnes from 1st team Super League squads who've been forgotten. In the Championship there's Gaskell, Paul Clough, Ian Hardman, Jacob Emmitt, Andrew Dixon, Tom Armstrong, Danny Langtree, Jordan Hand, David Hewitt and Matty Fozard.

Then if you consider players who were in our youth teams but have since been released still in Super League, you could add;
Matty Whitley - now at Widnes but played at both Warrington and Saints on scholarship.
Josh Wood - now at Salford but was at Saints on scholarship.
Joe Ryan - was at Saints until he was too old for u19s, now at Warrington playing reserve rugby.

Ant Walker is at Wakefield but not getting a look in currently.

Matty Ashurst probably one of our best players this year, Scott Moore not doing to bad either now.

Scott Moores raw talent was never in question. His problem is that he has a brain the size of a pea that tends to explode at the worst times on the pitch and also led him into far too many issues off the pitch. Unfortunately he will go down as one of the players with massive potential that he has never come close to fulfilling.

Or driving a car at 2.00 am in his underpants.

Whats wrong with that?

On the topic of ex Saints players I went to Bradford v Salford and Paul Clough absolutely dominated the salford pack and made Tasi look look like a school boy. I know you shouldnt judge from one game but i knew there and then that tasi wasnt even a championship level player

I thought clough had massive potential but then he just seem to stop improving.

Cant remember if it was ashurst or dixon, but one of them reminded me of lee gilmour and i never thought we should have got rid

Why? Do you think this is normal / acceptable behavior for a rugby "star" or otherwise?

FTR was a massive Scott fan until he went AWOL with his senses and I'm pleased he is doing really well at his current club Wakefield. He says his wild days are behind him and I hope they are.

Probably Dixon, He did remind me a bit of Gilmour too, proper wide running second rower with a bit of pace

Paul Johnson the prop went from looking a decent prospect with us, to Wakefield and most recently Widnes but not heard about him in a while?

Clough was a good player when he broke through into the first team. I think he was a second rower when he came through but was the victim of trying to bulk up second rowers into props at a time when we had few front row options.

Scott Moore sent off tonight.

TBF he was sticking up for Gibson after a shocking tackle from Ah Van

Did well at Wakefield then went to Hull.

Driving a car in your underpants? Next you will be telling me its criminal to drive a car in a vest

Kind regards

I think he's been injured.

Ant is a good player, he would be worth another go. If he works cheap then he would be good squad fodder.

We have a small army of ex players at Rochdale. Lewis Gailbraith, Danny Yates, Warren Thompson, Jordan Case, James Tilley, Alex McClurg all played in their last game while Gaz Langley has pulled on a shirt for them in the last year. Warren Thompson never got offered a first team contract but seemed a good player.

Mile Greenwood has had a good career at Fax. Carl Ashall is at Barrow (never understood why he never had a pro contact), Carl Forber is at Workington, Connor Dwyer is at Swinton I think, Tommy Johnson is at Crusaders.

Where is Paul Johnson these days? Same for Dom Speakman?

Even though none of these players are losses to the club it is good that Saints have produced so many professional standard players over the last decade.

Speakman played for Dewsbury vs Wigan this afternoon.

Had a broken wrist I think, but was shaping up nicely.

Scott Moore is class but still very volatile, he suits a maverik club like us but I can see why he'd struggle in a bigger environment.

Ashurst is quality not sure why you let him go.

Yates is a decent squad member.

Think that's it for our Saints contingent, I'm happy to keep them all at BV.

He was a real star at Wakefield then Hull snapped him up but that didn't work for him and I think he's at Whitehaven now.

True but then he got a 2 match ban for a bad tackle back on Ah Van.
Ah Van got a 5 match ban.

I love this from Betts And it gets worse for Scotty....
