Think he has some work to do yet to claim the mantle of " The next big thing ".Originally posted by wigan_rlfc@Dec 9 2005, 04:33 AM
I think it would be a blow to Wigan and Super League if O'Loughlin went, he is the next big thing.
The ESL has a heap of players that would make it in the NRL, but you guys still have too many Aussies and kiwi's and the level of competition isn't consitent through all teams... Some teams just really seem like they make up the numbers and nothing else.Originally posted by St Helens RLFC@Dec 8 2005, 11:11 PM

Scully is at the tail end of his career now - he might consider a season in Oz.Originally posted by Wally@Jan 18 2006, 12:24 PM
There's only about 3 or 4 ESL teams that would deserve a place in our competition. There just isn't the depth over in England, even with the ridiculous amounts of Aussies and Kiwis playing.
I heard a whisper that the St Helens skipper could move to the Roosters in 2007. Is there any credibility in that?
What we defiantely know is that Jamie Lyon will either be playing for Manly or the Gold Coast in 2007.
WIsh that were true m8, but cant see it. In any case we would end up paying shed loads of cash and I could see it having an impact elsewhere. I guess maybe if Scully went next year it would work out, but who replaces him ?Originally posted by St Helens RLFC+Jan 18 2006, 08:02 PM--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (St Helens RLFC @ Jan 18 2006, 08:02 PM)</div><!--QuoteBegin-WallyScully is at the tail end of his career now - he might consider a season in Oz.@Jan 18 2006, 12:24 PM

Don't be so sure on Jamie Lyon - I have heard a few things to suggest he might be about to commit himself to the club long term. [/b]
Yeah but they were always going to come over with him being here for 2 years. Doesnt mean they arnt looking forward to going home. Me im pretty resigned that he will go back but I aint going to get down about it. We had a great year of Jamie last year and fingers crossed we will get more of the same this year.Originally posted by St Helens RLFC@Jan 19 2006, 08:43 PM
Wilkin, he is going to be a top player. Not many people can replace Scully though. The thing with Lyon that makes me think he might stay is the fact that his family are over here.
He really is one of the only players you watch and think " How the **** did he do that ? ".Originally posted by St Helens RLFC@Jan 20 2006, 08:36 PM
We pay him less than Vaealiki and is his aboyt 45 times the player. I served Jamie in work last week and I asked him if he was happy and he said "very."
I'll cling on to that! Wonderful guy, would love to see him stay. We'll always be lucky enough to say we saw him and if I were to die tomorrow I'd say he's the best Saints player I saw.

He was playing with my W800 and decided he wanted it, so that he got. I'd love a Mini S but I can't justify having one sadly.
We get a lot of the Saints boys in, and they all seem to be buzzing.

I think we have a good chance also, but im trying to keep my feet on the ground. Until I see Cayless and Meli get a run out im still unsure.Originally posted by St Helens RLFC+Jan 21 2006, 12:13 AM--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (St Helens RLFC @ Jan 21 2006, 12:13 AM)</div><!--QuoteBegin-knowsleyroader@Jan 21 2006, 12:08 AM

I am very confident about the up and coming season, I genuinely fancy our chances. [/b]
