It’ll never catch on

Dont be daft!

Love a pantomime villain.

Boooooooooooooooooooo!

Redvee seem convinced (from the few posts there are) that he has only signed for the money. Did Saints make a play for him do you know?

It's a great read over on knucklevee. 'He only signed for the money'

No sh11t sherlock. A million quid in his sky rocket and the opportunity to shove it down McManus' throat. Bet he regrets slating him in the papers now.How dare he not take a pay cut.

If he's fully recovered it's a worldy of a signing, if not it's probably an awful lot of money sat in the stands, wonder if SW will pick him for England this Autumn considering how little he's played this year

I just find it amusing that, according to some, its only for the money

Maybe he wanted to come home and he only really wanted to sign for Saints which, as an ex Saints player, wouldnt be surprising but they didnt want to sign him so he settled for 2nd best?

Who knows.......

Someone has to be leaving off the back of this. Not necessarily for salary cap reasons but there's too many players and they're all players who would expect to play.

My best guess is Ellis or Thompson might be playing #13 next year. Hope not.

In the words of Frano Botica "Why would i want to play for St Helens"

If it is Smithies as many predicted. (It was only a matter of time) then it's better to happen now than in a couple of years when he would be irreplacable. Gutted to lose Smithies if he is going and he goes with my best wishes if so but my word, Thompson doesn't half cushion the blow. He is a fully developed battering ram.
