Yet another St. Helens cast off!!

I hope he does well ,played 6 games in 3 years 3 for Rochdale ,3 for Sheffield doesn't instil confidence ,but I am sure our Coaches know a good player when they see one . I Hope hes back to his best ,then he would be a great signing,and at least hes a young un ,which bides well for the future

Not sure where you get your figures from but totally wrong.

Not sounding negative but why have we signed a player who can't get on a super league club to keep us in the super league just don't make sense

Well it looks as though the promise of 2015 & 2016 hasn't materialised this season, in fact what has he been doing this season

Welcome on board and here's hoping he realises what was clearly a promising career, with us

Only 22 isn't he, very young for a prop, and he should be fresh with the limited game time

Re: Greg Richards : Mon Jul 17, 2017 8:08 pm  

70 SL games for Saints, including a Grand Final appearance. He sounds as though he has a lot of promise, and will bring down the average age of our pack.

Not much available at the minute, he looks a unit

Given we've no overseas spots left, where do you suggest we sign players from?

Re: Greg Richards : Mon Jul 17, 2017 8:48 pm  

He's going to wish he hadn't signed, if he reads this site! I would suggest that 70 SL games at a top club, isn't bad going for a 22 year old. Of course, we could have done a HKR and persuaded a 34 year old half back (he'll be 35 by the start of next season) to join us?
