It will only be a coaching announcement.



It seems very unlikely that we will have any new signings going into next season.



Bailey and Carmont will extend their contracts.



Three props will be off contract at the end of 2010, all of whom will probably leave, giving us plenty of chance to restructure the pack.



Hopefully in 2011 we will have three new props.

Then I think you're probably expecting too much.



What I do anticipate though, is the new man assessing our needs over the close-season, and then drawing up his own list of possible new recruits.

A lot of talk on Mikes site that James Graham has signed and will be anounced after the grand final, supposedly Saints have had enough of him spitting his dummy out and arguing with potter, whether it's true or not is a different story, i haven't seen anything on here about yet so who know's, i now wait for the usual Experts to come and rip apart my post

Not only has he got the off season to evaluate players but the whole of next year as well, there's a rather large list of players some on very large salary's that contracts end in 2010. We may see a similar lift in form with some of these players just like we did with Coley for the reason that there playing for new contracts.



McGuire's coming in at a good time really he has time to evaluate those who are here and has the chance to bin the rubbish at the end of the season leaving him with what could be rather large pot of money to spend come 2011.









I've seen that to.

It's a load of rubbish. Graham isn't leaving Saints and if he does, it won't be to Wigan.

It probably is a load of rubbish but if he were to leave Saints, why not Wigan?



Or would you expect him to fit under the elastic salary cap at Wire?



Dave

Because he's a Saints fan? I just can't imagine him selling out like that.

and yet he was talking to a Wigan fan that uses that site and said to him that he would join wigan tomorrow if he could have Fieldens wage.



Money is more powerful than loyalty

Gary Connolly? Andy Platt?



Those names ring a bell?

Oh you meant the salary cap the challenge cup holders have not broken and Wigan have....the one that is now a live system.These trophy baron years seem to be making you very bitter.

What's your point? We're talking about Graham, not Connolly or Platt.

The point is that you said he probably wouldn't sell out.



They did.



So it's not like it's unheard of.
