I don't see why we'd go for Quinn. Wing is a position we're pretty deep in with Roberts, Richards, Goulding and Karl Pryce to compete for two places so if we're going to use up a quota spot and a fair chunk of cap room I doubt it would be for a winger. I'd defo look at getting Widdop if the Storm are keeping Billy Slater

I think Quinn can play in the centres.

The article seemed to suggest that Widdop would move to the wing in place of Quinn.

The only way I can see us getting Widdop is if we really spend big and offer him a massive contract.

I'd love Brett White though, think you'd see incidents like Ryan Bailey's attempted decapitation of Sam the other week would soon come to an end! Think he'd cost a fair chunk of cap though.

Gareth Widdop looks like a very classy player. The combination between Widdop and Sam was fantastic. Madge has already admitted his interest in the lad. What a backline we would have!

Gareth Widdop
Amos Roberts
Martin Gleeson
George Carmont
Pat Richards

Think this season might be Carmont's last

I remember reading that Carmont wants to stay for another season. I like Carmont he's still one of the best centres in the league and has proven to be great value for money. One of the better overseas signings we have made in the last few years. So I hope he stays for another year.

I hope he stays too. I got told that he had to be talked into staying on this season though

Widdop would be an awesome signing but would he come back to england?

Widdop isnt coming. No chance.

With Saints seemingly doing excellent business for 2011, Id like to see us announce a player or two, but I know that isnt the way anymore but I trust it is all in hand.

Would you?

The Storm and NRL footy playing with players like Slater and Smith and against guys like Hayne & Thurston or trips 2 Hull and Wakey against players like Paul Cooke & Blanch

Paul Cooke has got to be the most overated player ive ever seen, he did nothing again today, to make it worse he has a bad attitude and isnt willing to put in any graft.

What business has saints done for 2011?

I can't recall us signing anyone.

Perry seems pretty nailed on from what I can read. Most people over on your forum seem convinced that he'll be announced after SOO has finished. That alone is a top class signing, a current SOO player.

Add to that Shenton seemingly heading your way and there's two good signings right there.

Put it this way, there seems to be more solid links between Saints and those two players then Wigan and anyone.

Wigan have in the past made mistakes regarding the signatures and announcements of overseas players. Until the deals are done, visa's sorted then nothing will be announced.

Don't forget, Lyon was nailed on to be back in 2011 but that ain't going to happen. I wouldn't believe everything you read on our forum.
