As long has he puts in the work this season it’s fine. Good luck to him as well he deserves it. Forwards can be replaced it’s the backs where everyone struggles. Hope this supposed signing is a half back everyone has let go under the radar. If as expected Brown calls it a day next year then we will again be looking for a creative hub. There is a dearth of these type of players in the uk so looking to Aus/NZ would be only option.

Hopefully this "overseas big name" is a decent 9 as Joeys contract is up at the end of the season.

Tui, Brown and Joey all potentially of.
Hard job to replace them with anything like the same quality.

At a scan of the players out of contract at the end of 2020 the below are the half backs that I can see:
Sean O'Sullivan Jack Cogger Keiran Foran Ryley Jacks Blake Green Nathaniel Roache Mason Lino Connor Watson Tyrone May Drew Hutchison Lachlan Lam Benji Marshall
My preference would be Blake Green, Keiran Foran and Lachlan Lam. Haven't seen enough of some of the others to comment really though.

Said a couple of weeks ago I'd go for Lam now,unlikely to get much NRL game time and a very talented layer.
Blake Green though stands out, the very definition of the type of half we need.

We are a selling and stepping stone club and everyone should get their head round that. No money, crap crowds is why this has happened. It’s always been the same but is worse now as the club have to sell to survive. I’d rather I had a club to support than go down the other option.

JJR, I've just had enough of our fanbase really.
People in meltdown over Dudson leaving (a player the majority didn't want).
People being 'sick of all the rumours' despite the fact that it's our fans starting them off.
Also the usual pot shots at the board despite being in a grand final 5 months ago. If ever they deserve a bit of leeway it's this season.
Anyway roll on Friday, and another 80 minutes silence from the south stand (unless the mascot goes in there with a drum of course).

BBS take a breath and get things in perspective This is meant to be a light hearted sounding board Everyone, probably including you, is frustrated that the team that did so well, split up and now, so soon into the season another leading player is off. So they air their views. They pay their money and they sing if they wish. That's what sport is.
For some reason you seem to be taking it personally. It's rugby league and fans are passionate about the Club and they let their frustrations out on here.

I think I've got my points across now. No need to prolong the thread.
Enjoy the rest of the season.

So long as you're happy BBS we can all sleep well tonight. I hope we all enjoy the rest of the season. Try meditation, it's good.

I do not have a problem with a player who is out of contract at the end of this season, rejecting a new offer from the club and deciding to move elsewhere. I do have a problem with the timing of the announcement,which stinks. They tried just before the season started and were kicked back. So long as Gil Dudson gives 100% good luck to him.

Luke Thompson was announced even before the season started😳 It’s bizzare and only appears to happen in RL. As long as a players carry on giving their all for the club I’m happy.

Dont see Saints fans turning on Thompson for signing elsewhere. Dont understand the mentality at all. We will have a new number 10 next season. We will move on as we always have done before.
