True, but then Widdop and Austin had clearly already retired too when they pulled on the Wire jersey. Hopefully we're past that sort of risky signing.

Let’s see if you’re back on here before the week
Is out to retract your post, or whether the Red Vee unbans me?

Somehow I don’t think either have it in you.

I see Saints are putting faith in their world beating academy full-back for next season.

To be fair (not always easy when Saints are involved) but it was the Sky commentary team rather than the club that was bigging this lad up.

On limited viewing he's made a mistake or two not unusual for a youngster particularly at FB BUT he's got a bit of something about him elusive running, an eye for a gap and he's not feared of ewt.

The local radio reported this morning that Saints have signed an Aussie fullback named Sailor.

Yeah Wendell sailors kid, Seen him a few times and he looks good but not seen enough of him to say much else.

Hes 26 and played 17 NRL games, very elusive runner but very far from a world beater. Not as good as Dufty IMO.

He struggles under a high ball.

yes we know, but what about sailor?
