Fu*k off you complete idiot! You are a total muppet whos obsessed with me. I'm sure Sharon is your type of player but he's rubbish.



He's chesp and would be ok for the end of this season as we lost lomax, Wello and lance and like I said, any fool can see tommy isn't a fullback. To give him a deal lol get than this year is terrible.





I've never said Lomax is world class unlike you said about our pack. He's a good fullback and fits into saints style.



Sharon is good back up player, he's pretty quick but he's not the sort of player super league champs and im your biased opionon will walk it this year. Wigan bring in tomkins for next year and we are bringing in a second rate Nrl nsw cup player.



Is he our marquee signing ?

Wow that was a big time hissy fit. Chill out man.

What if next year he is replacing Dawson in our squad ? Mcdonell is a better player than Dawson and SWift

He won't play wing mate, we are talking to few wingers (big wingers). Has he played centre ? Id be worried defensively with him in the centre.



Like I said, I'm happy for him to be here until the end of the season like saints wanted originally but 1 1/2 year deal for a player who's agent put him about super league last October and no takers doesn't fill me with joy.



If we can make breaks, he will be there in support that's for sure but that's his best quality, everything after that is below average.

It's also a skill were massively short on?



Pick up 2 injuries for wingers next year and he'll be playing wing! Who we talking to?

Whoa! We seem to be drifting into the Twilight Zone here. Please - feel free to tell my why I might possibly find you interesting enough to become "obsessed" with?







"Sharon"?????









I thought YOU were the "man in the know".

Who's playing hooker this weekend, then? Wilkin? Flash? Charnock? AN Other?

Flash is playing 6, 7, 9 and 13.

Why people are comparing this signing to Sam Tomkins and questioning if this is our marquee signing I do not know.



The fact he's signed for 18 months clearly suggests to me that we're giving Lomax the chance to prove himself (our "marquee full back"icon_wink.gif and McDonnell is simply a short term option to give us cover in an area we're short.



Saints can re-assess the situation in 12 months or so and aim to bring in a marquee signing should Lomax not recover well enough from his injury.



I really don't see the issue here?

Really quite sensible. Covers us this season whilst Lomax is injured. Should his comeback fail next year, we're not completely up creek for 12 months while we find a top replacement.

Exactly. Comparisons with Tomkins are meaningless. He's obviously not a marquee signing, but he is going to be handy to have around.

Also, you can argue about his overall quality, but his zip certainly makes him an exciting player to watch.

If the jet lag's not too bad, he could have a field day against Woeful Wakey if our big men get a roll on.

Every time i watched him last year, he looked useful. Similar style of player to Danny McGuire. Not the greastest defensively, but always in the right place at the right time offensively which isnt a skill you can teach as such, but can add a try a game.

Charnock will be at 9 I imagine mate.
