Says that Soliola will play Left centre next season and that we will have two experianced centres in our line up but would'nt say whether Gidley would be signing.

Also says that we're under the Salary cap but no players wil be comming in this season.

Where was this? If Soliola is playing left centre, it means we're signing Jamie Lyon. Woo hoo.

Or it means Gidley is staying and a lot of you are liars. Which one is it

Can you please change the thread title? to Sir Mcmanus

He is a proper legend.

Forget long, KC, scully, joynt and all the other great players we have had at our club because mcmanus is the best thing to happen to saints in the super league era.

Everything he has done as proved to be right.

Everyone was up in arms when he sacked basil but then he brought in DA who turned saints into a better team.

He sold gleeson who at the time was in the top 5 centres in the world but then bagged the best centre in the world in jamie Lyon.

The man is pure class and a legend.

I'll second that.

I think Gid's can do another season. If not we'll have his little bro



Thought Lyon was coming for 2011?

The future is bright

The future does look bright with a new centre on his way and some good young players and it seems as tho we gonna bring in maybe 2 more players for next year.

I do however think this season will be tough for saints. We will be there or there abouts if we stay clear of injuries.

I think fans should stick by potter this year if we don't ave our normal cup winin season coz this current team was ere here when he arrived and not had his chance to stamp his mark on this team yet.

It may sound strange but potter took on a very tough job in havin to rebuild the best team ever in super league but I'm sure if givin time he will rebuild saints.

It's just few postions he needs to sort for us to be back to our best and winin grand finals not just taking part in them.

Dont care where the 18stone monster plays, just get him in a redvee get the ball to him and watch him run over the lightweight tiny superleague inferior players.

Gilmour staying?

He is not a centre so cannot be considered as an 'experienced centre' IMO. He's not lasted long there this season, with that experiment failing miserably, so I can't see how they would plan to keep him there for another 18 months.

This team would be nowhere without EMc.

The lack of controversy post-Millward does sometimes become boring though eh? There's a cloud attached to every silver lining.

I can see an Einstein reference coming on.

Millward was great for saints and always was good to listen to but sometimes showed lack of respect for other teams, refs, players and even the fans at times.

It got to the point where the was some sort of story involving millward every week so saints said enough is a enough.

DA showed respect to all and was very grounded which showed we could still be the best and also show respect when we won or the odd time we lost.

he does a fantastic job everywhere else on the pitch so why at centre

Uncle Mc is a pure legend

McManus was apparently not happy with the absolute shambles that occurred on Saturday at the Catalans game regarding seat allocation.

Saints were given the furthest right block (out of 4/5 blocks) in the away end. The rest were reserved for school children. Saints fans were scattered all around the ground.

A quote from the safety steward after going to enquire about the situation:

"We have let more children in than we can fit in the away end, we couldn't turn them away".

The stairways in between blocks were full of kids who had come a bit late. So if you wanted something to eat or to go to the loo, you had to crawl your way through. If there was an emergency, hmm that could have been nasty.

A further quote regarding the overfilling of the away end

"If something bad happens, it happens".

It did. At some point during the game, we looked to our left and saw a little boy in a sort of foetal position lying on the floor on the main walkway at the front of the stand. It took this incident for stewards to rush in and then start manning the several walkways that were overcrowded, although they didn't do anything, they just stood there. The child who was lying on the floor was eventually carried away on someone's shoulder and I presume and hope he was OK. Would be interesting to find out what actually happened.

The seating was a farce. I hope the young lad is ok, i didnt see that.

Wtaching the TV coverage you could see redvee fans were scattered all over the shop, I thought it bizzare as you normaly see awya fans huddled together behind the sticks, or sat together in one of the stands. But on saturday there seemed to be 4 locations with redvee's in them.... send a letter of complaint to the frog CEO, the fat guy with the moustache, I forgot his name, he replied to my letter last time i moaned about their fans throwing coins and stuff at us. Grant Meyer I think his name is, hmmmm I maybe wrong though?

That has happened almost every time I have been there. We now always pay the extra and go into the main stand which has reserved seating.
