| Quote Rob Wire="Rob Wire"Lets say you were Tony Smith, in an ideal world where contracts were not an issue who would you release ?
These are the players i would let go:
Lee Briers
Michael Monaghan
Matt King
Louis Anderson
Vinnie Anderson
Paul Wood
Paul Rauhihi
Jon Clarke
everyone u menshioned exept the andersons hicks and reily
Steve Pickersgill
Chris Bridge
Chris Hicks
Paul Johnson
Chris Riley
Simon Grix
If we could find takers for both Monaghan and King then in my opinion we would be getting out of a nightmare situation, we could then do a lot better with the money, it will probably be Lee Briers last season so that one speaks for itself and i would think the same with Chris Hicks. Both Anderson`s for me need releasing for different reasons, Paul Wood has been at the club for a long time but he`s never really fulfilled the early promise of turning into something Sam Burgess like, he has suffered from a lot of problems with his shoulder and i can`t see him really improving as a player at this stage in his career.
Chris Bridge is one of them talents that will never seem to kick on to the next level mainly because of his rumoured attitude problems, he breaks down injured far too often as well and that isn`t good for the cohesian of the squad.
Simon Grix is another that probably won`t kick and fulfill his promise due to having a very delicate body that seems to break down more often than the Trotters van.
Paul Johnson is another player thats not a good player to have for overall squad cohesian, your just waiting for him to break down at any minute, at his peak he was a top class 2nd rower, these days he`s a poor mans Lee Gilmore where he lacks pace and is an injury waiting to happen.
Jon Clarke, he is the enigma that devides fans opinions. Personally i think everything he does is too slow and predictable, he will never be the type of p[layer that will get the oppositions defence thinking whats he going to do next, he`s a grafter and little else in my opinion.
Steve Pickersgill, i just don`t think he has it to make a difference to us.
Chris Riley, i like his attitude and the club obviously means a lot to him, i just don`t think he will ever be the calibre of a Lee Smith where he can play in various positions in the backline and look quality and solid, the errors with him seem to be stacking up.
Personally i would let Kevin Penny go out on loan and take it from there, thats just my opinion based on his overall performances for us, you can never be too confident with him as you just feel that their is a blunder waiting around the next corner.'" | | |

Lee Briers
Michael Monaghan
Louis Anderson
Vinnie Anderson
Paul Wood
Paul Rauhihi - going anyway, has been good for the past 2 years
Jon Clarke
Steve Pickersgill
Paul Johnson
Simon Grix
Seems like a lot of players to replace, V Anderson has been a huge dissapointment for me. However, the difference in performances may be because Saints made him look good and we make him look as good as he is?
There are too many enigma type players at the club IMO, could be a reason the unpredictability of performances

Some saints fans would probably argue whether he ever looked good I expect!
I don't have a huge opinion on comings and goings. It's exciting to see things happening and I'll just enjoy it. I wouldn't complain if I didn't have to see the big sulks face every week though. | | | |

Chris Bridge is one of them talents that is an enigma that will probably not fulfil all the promise mainly because of his rumoured attitude problems, he breaks down injured far too often as well and that isn`t good for the cohesian of any squad.
Simon Grix is another that probably won`t kick on and fulfill his potential due to having a very delicate body that seems to break down more often than the Trotters van.

Most teams would snap up half of them players. | | | |
