    Or maybe he doesn't want to play under a coach who comes across as stubborn as a mule, and who's developing a habit of trying to force round players into square holes, so to speak.

    Again, fair shout. When we played Leeds in the CCSF last season, Savelio came off the bench and was brilliant. He put someone in for a try (can't remember who but it was on the right edge) and I remember thinking then that he had something.

    But let's not derail this thread into ANOTHER Savelio thread. See what happens, personally I'm passed caring. If he stays and is committed good, if he goes so be it.

    Apologies just a really contentious issue the Savelio one, just trying to see it from both sides

    I'm a big fan of Savelio, for 21 he's got massive potential, which he showed glimpses of in his early days for us. I think a good coach like Powell will be able to get the best out of him (and play him in his preferred position).
    I think a forward pack of:
    Amor Roby Walmsley
    Greenwood Savelio
    Knowles
    would be up there with the best in the league and could be a dominant pack for the next 5 years.
    Just my opinion though which will get shot down but I think losing Savelio over something that could be easily rectified would be a huge shame.
    We need a good coach then. Bin off Captain fantastic and bring back Savelio

Can't have an unhappy player around, it's disruptive but I do take into account the serious illness and how that affected him
    That's a ridiculous statement, Hohaia never came to Saints with any concerns prior to being at the other side of the world. He resigned & was released and was allowed to retain his accommodation & company car at the expense of St.Helens until he left the country. Then after resigning he had the cheek to ask for contract money & sought advice from a solicitor which he duly was advised to forget about it. What other organisation does this for its employees? And for the record he was sent to one of the leading concussion specialists in the country.
    If that's poor treatment then I'm in the wrong industry.

    It's in French news that Catalan are getting shut of about 30% of their squad for under performing this year again; supposedly includes Dave Taylor and Pelissier. I'd absolutely snap the hands of them for both players rather than buggering around with poor players like Tommy Lee.

    Maybe they should get shut of their useless coach.

    Taylor is a no go for various reasons. I'd have Pelissier

    I reckon he was one of our worse signings of the super league era. four year big money deal and his best game was the 2014 grand final

    When we announced his signing in 2011 i said on here it was a terrible move by the club and i got roundly booed by all (one of many times). I also said for one reason or another he wouldn't see out the full 4 years of his contract.

    Yes it was. Just because you throw in allegedly into your comments doesn't make it any less a statement. You suggested saints have form for not looking after players on the periphery, I beg to differ. There's another statement.

    I posted very similar when it was only a rumour he was coming.

    After reading "There's only one SW's" post its also hard to have any respect for him as a person.

    Yet another thread derailed by personal stuff. I actually can't be bothered clearing it up, so this is being locked and we will have another thread.

    And if you want to complain about coaches being stubborn, players being stubborn, players daring to have the foresight to open up businesses ahead of retirement or our worst overseas imports, either open up another thread or stick to Direct Message.
    WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF POOR BEN FLOWER?!
