think mf is fast on his feet, nimble, athletic and strong. we can bulk him up but he has skills we can't teach mossop.

mossop looks good dont get me wrong but i think mf could be something special.






I've seen them bomb a quarter final, bottle a semi final, finish as league leaders, but I've still, never, seen the Wire win the league
Doom and gloom, doom and gloom

Personally though Mossop was very good tonight.


Totally different players though tbh.

He's very similar to O'Loughlin imo and to fit both in at their prefared position of 13 is obviously impossible.

I'd like to have the chance though.

Does that mean he's unlikely to come back?

Hope they split up now...........theres plenty more fish in the sea and all that :D


Sorry NK but it is true.






SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

There is no scope to bulk him though, and he is not fast.

He is a 6 or a 13 a couple of years in Oz should see him hone his skills to 1 position probably 13.

I personally hope he never returns and makes a go of it with Wests.






Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Gutted.

His missus needs nobbling(please notice the 'L').

I reckon he can crack the first team at Wests though and that would be interesting to watch.

fast on his feet and fast arent the same thing jon. we bulked lockers big time one off season when he seemed relatively scrawny. mossop is a big strong lad. mf offers a bit more for mine.

id love to see him come back in a few years. think he could go well in oz.

Locky had the frame, Flanagan does not.

possibly yeah

i see more of a stephen wild type in mf. all round athlete. he has great hands for a back rower and think with specific training he could be a v good second row.

Why not use his good hands then? It would be a waste playing him at second row.






Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go

Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Loose forward at best i think, not got enough build to be a 2nd rower, certainly has the work ethic though.

He's just kind of stuck between a centre, a 6 and a 13 for me, not quite got the pace or build to be defined to a single one.

maybe the oz conditioners will work there magic somehow.
