Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us. If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

He is just a poor mans Mike Bennett. Bennett wasn't brilliant but did a job, Magennis is a lot worse than he was, and he was barely Saints quality.

Quote ="Rogues Gallery"Joe Greenwood was superb for Saints in their U20 game v Wigan at Orrell in April. He looked a very good prospect.'" />
He's been given a first team shirt in recent weeks, as has Jordan Hand and Warren Thompson. Only Warren Thompson got a debut during our injury crisis period though. However, we shouldn't need to wait for injuries to give debuts.

Quote ="FearTheVee"Why? He's far more experienced than, say, Chris Tuson who played for Wigan. I'd assume Ashurst has made double Tuson's SL appearances.'" />
A run by Tuson and a run by Ashurst summed up the night.
/>
Tuson, who I've never thought of anything more than a good club youngster, came on and took the ball up with real bite, making decent yards and landing on his front.
/>
Shortly after it was Ashurst's turn and he jogged, slowly, onto the ball and got dumped right next to the previous PTB.
/>
Magennis does seem to have some capability for good offloads and good lines, but he gets dominated a lot in contact.
I've always been very positve about the 3 of the young back rows, but seeing the difference in strength when flanders (who's no star) is taking the ball up shows they're way behind where you want.
/>
That said, I remember thinking Paul Clough was too small when I first saw him. So even I'm wrong sometimes.

Wire will definitely look to dominate in the same way the goons did, exploiting the act that we have zero impact from the bench. I think the only player that has offered any form of impact this season is Scott Moore - brain explosions aside.
/>
Dixon/Ashurst/Magennis - at the moment average with potential
TP quiet since new contract signed
Graham - still our best forward in terms of effort and contribution
LMS - Not as much impact as we would have hoped for - but appears enthusiastic
Perry - lacking match fitness but we could do with seeing some form sooner rather than later
On the plus side we can have had excellent seasons so far from Roby & Wilkin
Soliola improving & Flannery has had a promising return from injury.
/>
I still personally wouldn't swap any of the above for Sean (swinging arms ninny) O'loughlin thank you very much
