If we can get a substantial fee for Trueman and sign Fages, we have a better player and money to invest elsewhere in the team.
This.

He's only 26 and by the end of this season he'll be past the 200-game mark. Just coming into his prime as a half-back, really.old cas lass wrote: ↑20 Apr 2021, 11:35Like the sound of that notts.nottinghamtiger wrote: ↑20 Apr 2021, 11:23This.

How old is fages.
maybe saints would take richardson back as part of the deal.nottinghamtiger wrote: ↑20 Apr 2021, 11:52He's only 26 and by the end of this season he'll be past the 200-game mark.

I'll be shocked if Saints allow him to leave, but their success is also their challenge. They are already spending the full salary cap and everyone in their squad will believe their form should mean an improved contract when they come up for renewal. On that basis, they just can't keep everyone.
However, if he doesn't re-sign for Saints then I suspect the likes of Warrington (who might lose Austin and Widdop - Powell tried to sign Fages to replace Gale before he signed his current deal with Saints so obviously rates him) and Wigan (who are now losing Hastings at the end of the year) will be interested too.
You’re right. But as the only recognise half he should be cut a bit of slack.flood light tiger wrote: ↑22 Apr 2021, 20:56 I dint think he stepped up to the plate tonight when he needed to

He’s still young and developing - as the only recognised half out there he’s not yet experienced enough to control things on his own. It’ll come though.Fumper27 wrote: ↑22 Apr 2021, 21:07It will by those with a modicum of RL knowledgethe machine wrote: ↑22 Apr 2021, 21:03You know that won't happenFumper27 wrote: ↑22 Apr 2021, 21:00You’re right.

I think it’s possible.
Wigan have three x-factor players St Helens are like a machine just ground teams down I'd be surprised if they don't win the two trophys between them but I give us a chance if we have near enough are full team out ...and a bit of lucknottinghamtiger wrote: ↑23 Apr 2021, 08:53I think it’s possible.
But those players (bar McShane) need to go up a level if it’s going to happen, especially Trueman and Richardson.
At the moment, we aren’t good enough to crack the best defences enough times to win a game (especially a big game when defences tend to go up a level too).
Sure we’ll win plenty and we’ll compete with the best. But when it comes to coming out on the right side of a tight game against the likes of Wigan or Saints, those players need to step up and be better than they have been so far.
Wigan know that if they keep putting the ball into the hands of Hardaker, French and Hastings then something will happen. Same at Saints - give the ball to Coote, Fages, Lomax and Roby enough times and they’ll do something to break a defence. Even at Warrington - Clarke, Ratchford and Austin are potential game-breakers. At Cas, we only have McShane who can produce a high-quality play to break a game.
I think you underestimate Coote, Lomax and Fages.tigerfeat wrote: ↑23 Apr 2021, 10:24Wigan have three x-factor players St Helens are like a machine just ground teams down I'd be surprised if they don't win the two trophys between them but I give us a chance if we have near enough are full team out ...and a bit of lucknottinghamtiger wrote: ↑23 Apr 2021, 08:53I think it’s possible.
