Saints signed Deon Cross from Salford
Saints are classless.
We haven't all got billionaire owners with £30k stashed down the sofa.
The same Saints that have loaned them Vaughan for the season? Yeah really classless. Also there is a lot more to it as Salford owe Saints ticket money. I guarantee had Radlinski got a Salford player on a free in the same way you would be calling it a great piece of negotiating.
We've simply taken advantage of Salford treating their players appallingly (lets not forget these lads have mortgages to pay like everyone) and saved ourselves £30k in the process. Unless of course you feel that we should've donated £30k out of pity?
We lost £2m last year so we aren't exactly flush with cash either.
Still classless mate. The only reason Vaughan is at Salford is due to a fall out with the club. Saints aren’t paying his wages. The move for Cross was manipulated, full stop. As for Wigan, we have loaned them more than one player. I am not sure what Wigan has to do with this argument and if they had acted in such an underhand way then I would have criticised them as well. Salford need supporting, this is a time when the rugby community should come together and support one of its own.
As for Saints finances if Salford owe them money then they should take the appropriate action either through the RFL or legally. I fear that you will see another big financial loss this year, as will most of not every team, does that mean you will be sneaking around next year and unsettling players? Maybe McManus, Beaumont and Wood have an hidden agenda.
We will suffer another big loss yeah. We don't have a billionaire owner. I doubt you would be making the same comments pre-Danson when Wigan were skint.
In relation to Cross, we initially agreed a fee with them (the week when we named a 20 man squad) however Salford came back wanting more money hence the impasse.
Re Vaughan, we could've just played him in the Reserves all year, we didn't need to loan him out.
I brought Wigan into it because you are a Wigan fan having a pop at Saints that's all.
