Its not as simple as that though, Sean Long for instance. Some players appear better suited to other clubs, Gleeson, Pyrce etc. We also have Turner who im my opinion is turning out a better player than he was at Hull.
Sometimes its a gamble with this type of player but I think Saints have learnt a lesson by not giving out long term contracts until proven,

That's all well and good but I'm certainly not excited with the signings of Buemont, Dawson and Carlisle. Those are the sort of players you bring in as back up squad players but we need quality.

I'm very happy with the Luke Walsh signing. I didnt know to much about him but my mate in oz said he's a good player and I've watched him over the last 6 weeks and he's been on fire.

Maose is another I wasn't to familiar with but could remember him at the roosters and my mate tells me he can be devastating when switched on and can be invisable when not switched on.

It does seem to be more of a whole sale change coming through.

There are new players coming through our own ranks, new players who maybe what you would call the 2nd team. And then a sprinkling of new players from abroad.

You've said in the past it will take years to put right. Surely this is proving the point. We don't want just anyone because they are a recognised name. We need to buy in a balanced side and balance out our wages somewhat. As you said previously though I think Lance is a sticking point. We have him for 2 more years, so getting another 6 of decent quality, would probably take all the money that Lance is currently on.

Seeing as we've not released him, or even mentioned he is leaving at the end of the season, I gather we're offering Perry the Pudding a new deal?

If we offer Perry a new deal, I can see a bonfire of season tickets outside the club shop.

I wouldnt have thought so

Surely not!
