Good lad.
Good lad.
Outstanding news. Really brilliant. But one has to wonder if there are any clauses in it? He's arguably one of the best in his position in the world and on the face of it he's cutting himself off from doubling/trippling his earnings?
Brilliant news, great work by the club! I expected him to try his hand in Australia. A great start to the week!
Excellent news, thoroughly deserved and massive for our club, as no doubt NRL clubs would be interested in signing him. I would assume he would get the captaincy once Roby retires as well.
Wow!
I'd genuinely expected him to go to Aus at the end of his contract next year. This is a major boost, as he's a simply brilliant player.
Fantastic news.
Wow. Just wow. I was completely resigned to him moving to the NRL next year and wouldn't have begrudged it in the slightest. How the club keep pulling it out of the bag is beyond me. Welsby Dodd and Knowles are cornerstones to build a team off.
I second the call for him to get captain after Roby (though I suspect Lomax will get it)
Brilliant news and for me the best signing of all our recruitment this year. I too was convinced he was NRL bound however we all know that the lifestyle is great, weather etc and he would undoubtedly have earned more money but I note that he has just had a baby.
It can't be under-estimated how much family is important with a new child, having grand parents and family as a support network is invaluable. I have mates in Aus and NZ who love their life but admit that they miss family and their children miss seeing their grand parents.
Plus Knowles is young enough to see out his contract with us and maybe go to the NRL after that.
Fantastic. Like a few others, I thought this would be his last year. He is a special player and will only get better. Well done, Saints.
Merry frigging Christmas!!!
More than deserved.
Great news well done Saints. They must be creating a great culture players want to stay part of.
Boom! This is simply AMAZING!
Huge news. I was certain he’d leave for the NRL.
St Helens Rugby League Football Club
Would love to get Regan signed up longer?????
It’s great for a player to show such much loyalty to the club, when I was at Ulverston I had been told many times how he was very close to his family especially his Mum who supported Saints. So that loyalty is shown to his parents who did so much for him to develop at Saints.
Great news and business by the club.
The family support network is overlooked and it often stems from the player`s partner/wife.
It has worked against us when Aussie players have left to return to the family network, Kev this year and Jamie Lyon previously state their partners struggled without their parents.
On the other side to that Ben Barba`s partner wanted to stay, so she knew he was vulnerable to temptation over there and was willing to forgo her family support to keep him on the straight and narrow here.
On the Back foot looking for the front one.
I wonder if Luke Thompson's experiences over there may have factored into Morgan's thinking. Looks like the Bulldogs are trying to get rid again now.

I saw that he had a baby and thought that was the best news for the club! He and his Mrs probably want a bit of stability for a few years - I suppose if you have enough money it's not worth it, then practicalities like child care costs etc, cost of living etc can further change everything
All in all though absolutely brilliant news
Outstanding news!
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." Danny Blanchflower.
