he released his book the same year as he got the job....you need to do better you clown

...so go on ill bite show me the evidence?

To be fair to Kris Radlinski (or any player), apart from if a player was directly involved, would he be aware of the individual intricacies of all the player's contracts or the financial workings and stability of the club?

It's like when you were putting together your great, star-laden sides of the 80's and 90's, were all those highly paid players fully aware that their transfer fees and wages were sending the club down a financial blackhole, that would eventually see you skint and having to flog your ground to Tesco?....I highly doubt it?

We speculated to accumulate. Wire have been doing the same for years although the accumulation part never materialised, maybe it will next year, you never know

Totally agree. You aren't the only club guilty of financial mismanagement, while chasing success. Bradford and Widnes are 2 big examples, where short periods of success have been followed by longer spells of being in the wilderness.

My original point, was that accusations that often get thrown Wire's way of trying to buy success, or of financial irregularities, are a bit cheap, as there likely are few clubs who haven't done similar in previous times.. I suppose our positive is that we haven't been caught out yet, which isn't saying the same for some other clubs?

The fact that Renouf was one of his best mates and was told they couldnt afford him anymore pretty much says they were paying his wife off the books otherwise they could have afforded him.....

Substitute in Cunningham/Saints, Vainikolo/Bradford, Moriey/Warrington etc depending who you support. Same old tall tale backed up by nothing. Like the other people working St the club shop, cleaning etc wouldn't kick up a stink if their colleague was doing the same job for 5 times the salary.

Hearing he could be wire bound with Austin making the move over to Leeds to free up the salary cap space

Heard the same.

Might be their year after all

Gone past worrying about Williams in a lot of ways. I’d love to get him but I’m putting him in to the side at Catalans on Saturday in place of Hastings and running the game through in my mind and it’s still 48-0.

WIgan need more than that. To compare, besides French at full back, no other wigan player would get in St Helens first team. Bateman of Canberra would but look at him now, hes a shadow of the player he was last year.

Massive overhaul is required.

I'm calling house on my overreaction bingo card.

Highlights include:

We need a complete overhaul
The coach needs to be dismissed.
None of ours would get in Saints side.
We're the worst team the league.
IL/KR need to go.

Thanks Steph

Saints are a well-drilled team but truly boring to watch. Woolf has got them playing rugby as boring as Lam has for us.

Fully agree.

Granted the last post is from our good friend Steph, but you're right some of the stuff that has been posted is beyond laughable.

Ah, I see. You mean we look as likely to score a second-half try as the Raiders?

I’m just happy we’ve solved our goal kicking problems

That's certainly one solution!

Wolf has got saints defending like we used to till Lam took over. We used to love hurting teams in the tackle but them days are gone thanks to Lams attacking brand of rugby (his words not mine). Not looked like creating a try now for 2 games.

Complain about the tactics all you want. Only French would get in the saints team.

Poky, is that another basket ball player ? Have you fallen out with Steph Curry?

No point in turning up next week then, it's a slam dunk that Saints win everything.

I read plenty of Saints saying how dire Joel Thompson has been Stephanie LeBron me owd cocker, so French can play second row for you.

Read where? Red Vee? Most I’ve see on there are down the middle, but hey, make things up to suit your narrative.

In my opinion he’s a steady Eddie but I reiterate my point, no Wigan player bar French would get in this Saints team. The whole saints back row is quaking at the thought of facing Willie Isa lmao
