I really don't want him to leave, i think he's improving so much this year and we miss him a lot when he's not on, especially in defence. I'd be gutted if he left not only because of that but he seems really passionate about it and playing for us, at hte end of a win he allways seems the happiest and doesn't half beat himself up after doing something wrong.

But what is his overall point??? We are within the rules and IL's stated aim was to have a Wigan team predominately from Wigan supplemented by quaility imports... Looks like thats what he is creating. Nice of him/her to worry about us though... thank you...

Saints clearly put us to shame so far as reliance on overseas players goes. After all, Gidley, Soliola, Meli, Puletua, Flannery, Fa'asavalu and Josh Perry all speak with broad Scouse accents, right?

Perry doesn't even play for us yet, and when he does Gidley and Maurie minimum won't be on that list.



9 v 6 or 8 v 5 this season depending on whether you want to include Hansen/Maurie. Wigan have 50%/60% more foreigners than Saints whichever way you cut the cake.

We are still within the rules so i dont see why it matters



our team, our problem

Hoffman, Lima and Finch don't play for us yet, and the probability is that Roberts won't be on that list for much longer.



Or does this 'get out' logic only apply to St Helens?

"One-aa, two-aa, three-aa, four-aa .........".

I see what you've done there.



Hilarious, and original to boot!

You stains must be ting it if your trotting out the excuses for next season already!

It isn't a "get out" simply an assertion that trying to make Saints' position look worse by rolling up overseas players over two seasons isn't very bright.



You'll note that when I was referring to your 2011 team, I didn't include Phelps/Feka/Bailey/Riddell which was the equivalent of what the poster did by adding in Perry but retaining Gidley/Maurie.



If you'd like me to prepare a list along similar lines it would read: Phelps/Carmont/Roberts/Richards/Tommy/Riddell/Feka/Hansen/Bailey/Finch/Lima/Hoffman - but that doesn't actually make much sense does it?

I actually hope you sign up as many back-door quota players as you can; it's detrimental to your club.

Saints must of used all there quota for next season due to all there fans saying so ,and mr IL says we ve still got room for 1 more quota player . You do the maths and every top team uses there quota including saints
