| Quote Uncle Rico="Uncle Rico"I don't disagree with your listings or that we are bigger than Huddersfield whether that's currently a step down for Hill, but that's not what I read into Sally's post where the squad was referenced and specifically "now that our player's are available and are being moved on", What player's are available and why are they being moved on is worth consideration
I'm not sure that a question would Saints or Wigan sign a player is a decent measure of a player's worth, For example, would or could Saints sign Clark? Probably not ahead of Roby a few year's back but that's not saying Clark is better or worse, or not good enough for a top side with SL aspirations, just that they were happy with their lot and had other priorities.
There's no doubt that the quality of the squad has declined since 2013 despite some money being spent (read that roster and weep) It's all about opinions but I'd have thought we could manage a decent sprinkling of players in our 17 in the glad they're a Wire classification at the start of Price's tenure Ratchford, Lineham, Goodwin, Atkins Charnley Austin Brown Hill Clark Cooper Currie Murdoch Masila Philbin Mamo
The proof of the pudding is have we won IT so ultimately we can all agree that the squad wasn't good enough, my issue was the specifics and simplicity of the original post...our 2013 squad was apparently not good enough either'"
Rating players of a particular period in time against those of another is extremely difficult to do. A players stock value falls and rises with age experiences and injuries, as does the collective squad. 2013 was a time when I look back and think most clubs' squad was better then, as the talent we had in the game as a whole is better then what we have now. It's subjective, and just my opinion, but I do think that Saints, Wigan and any other perceived superior clubs squad quality have declined since that point in time. As we are currently in our lowest position at this stage in a SL season for quite a while, were not as good as we were last season. Hence, it's not really difficult to be surprised that only Cooper is moving on to a top team, from the squad we currently have had at the start of 2022. We can wonder "what if" should Chris Sandow have been fully fit at the end 2016, as he was capable of being the difference in that particular GF had he not been carrying an injury. Similar has been stated had Powell had the services of Hardaker. Sometimes, it's down to just fine margins. |

I'm hoping next season, with a proper set of forwards, we will see Currie come to life again.... not defending the performances of the last few seasons... but its been hard for ANY forward to look good in the squad we started the season with.
Lets hope he gets a new lease of life... as the talent is still there. |

I think he has been one of our better performers over the last couple of seasons, our left edge seemed fine. However recently he's not been up to his usual standards. Sunday was a step towards what we are use to from him so let's hope for more of that. I agree with you I think the new pack will be good for him. |

| Quote CW8="CW8"I can't think of a club doing better mid season business in superleague. I may be wrong on that and there could be things I've overlooked but mikaele, Wardle, Nicholson and even amor have made a very quick impact on the team, should throw Harrison in there too. I'm really glad that the club have acted mid season rather than waiting until next season. Credit where its due.
We don't know how well the signings for next season will go, but on paper there is some great business for the 2023 squad. Tie up Wardle as well and I'll be delighted.'"

Just in case you missed this earlier this week. /FMC
Quote CW8="Fantastic Mr Cat"=#FF0000Reyt, everyone take a deep breath and realise we've had a big win and a decent performance today.
No need to be getting personal and name calling, it's not needed, anyone does this from this point gets a break from the board '" |

King having an absolute stinker v Saints.
Even against 12 men he can't create an overlap for his winger.

Very poor defence from King, for the Welsby try.

He's been awful in this game, we need him to be better than this for Huddersfield or any potential Wardle swap deal will be off the table!
Saints made a mockery of playing with 12 men in that game.
