as a shareholder of Saints the debts are not something to be happy about, but they are almost entirely owed to Eamonn McManus and Mike Coleman who both know the debt is either never retrievable or changed to debentures, it doesn't really effect the position of the club as if you add in the assets of the stadium it isn't an issue.
In saying that all SL clubs need to make sure they are running within their means, Saints cannot survive without Wigan and Warrington and vice-versa.'"
And in the same way most of the money owed by Wigan is to Ian Lenagan and/or his companies. Danson could buy every Superleague club with his pocket money!!
I would love every club to be profitable or at least break even'"
See you are doing it again bringing facts into it.
I would also every club make a profit as without the teams we have no sport.'"
No one, outside of top 10 Soccer teams goes into a sport and expects to make a profit, they always hope to break even.
In fact, there is an old saying, "if you are in profit you aren't even really trying to be a successful team"'"
I believe what we are trying to say is that we all want the sport of RL to survive and maybe prosper.
We are not soccer.'"
Burnley did.'"
Burnley’s new owners have bought the club with a loan and sold most of the players worth anything, they’ve invested a small amount of that and appointed a good manager but if I was a Burnley fan I’d be very worried if they don’t go up this season.'"
That's true but they still made a profit under their previous owners.

| I think there's no question that Wigan's Academy isn't as strong this season. However you don't need all of the team to come through to first team, just needs 3-4 who are real class to step up which I'm sure will happen at Wigan. At any club it's rare to find more than that number within a squad, making it at first team level
Your scholars are very strong which will form the basis of your next Academy

| These things can also be mitigated with smart signings (like we've done with Walters), but it's much cheaper to bring someone through though.

| Seems like plenty of our rivals are making moves to bring in new bodies before the end of the season.
We’re desperately in need of a freshen-up, but we’re not even being linked with anyone. Radlinski seems hell-bent on watching the season go down the toilet.
I’d have taken Shorrocks on loan – even if it meant giving Ellis a week off, or moving him up to prop for a week or two. A fresh body, a bit of a lift for the squad, something different.
And before anyone starts with “what about the cap” – how is it that other sides seem able to move players on, yet we can’t? Could Chan not have been shifted? Did we really need to carry Hurst’s contract for a season knowing he wouldn’t play? Saints are being linked with a new signing, but before he can come in someone needs to vacate a quota spot. What are the odds on them actually getting it done?

| We probably don't have any cap space. So many players have had their contracts renewed it's bound to affect the salary cap.
Trouble is our two highest paid players and them being two of our three marquee players haven't played for months. French has been out for a couple of months and Thompson since the Catalans game when we also lost Walters. Although Walters has returned he was out for around 10-11 weeks Thompson still hasn't played. That is just too much talent missing from the squad not to have an adverse effect on performance..
If there was a shake up needed then Forber to be bench 9 instead of Leeming. Walters right 2nd row and Junior off the bench. Maybe also Eckersley to replace Wardle for a couple of weeks so get Jake rested and fit again.
IMO our first 17-20 is the best in SL and by some distance. For that to be reflected in performance they all have to play especially our best players which they plainly have not.

Not a bad shout that but for me it would be Forber instead of O Neil
