    Man of Steel 2007

    Roby also picked up the Super League Metre Maker award (most metres made with the ball, 3,303m). Shows just how much he does when he is on the field. Like Wellens last year, Roby was tipped early in the season to collect the MOS.

    NRL players in the ESL

    Saints players: Jason Cayliss, Matt Gidley, Willie Talau, Francis Meli and up until he retired last week Jason Hooper.

    Matt Gidley

    Some of the Saints fans were always going to give him a hard time after Lyon. His penalty count has been high, but it will take a while for him to get used to SL refs. The flick pass has been seen quite a bit and I hope Gardner can make full use of it. During Daniel Andersons interview, you...

    James Roby - St Helens & GB&I

    Great MMS video of James on Sky Sports Soccer AM All-Sports Show on Friday. Video sent in by Saints Conditioning Coach, Apollo Perelini. http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid416542546/bclid416306423/bctid507841414 I bet James in glad he made that video now, cue a new song rom the...

    2007 Superleague shirts

    You can usually buy the SL logo from club shops and they will put them on for you.

    2007 Superleague shirts

    The idea of Away/Alternative kits is to be different from your Home kit to avoid colour clashes with opposing teams of similar colours & design. So they tend to show little sign of a club connection, although Saints have tended to incorperate the Vee in their away shirts for the last few years...

    Please answer this...

    Seem to remember a story a few years ago, about Arsenal reversing the image of the gun on their club badge. This upset a some fans, but I think it made them happier when it was pointed out that the gun on their stadium now pointed to Spurs White Hart Lane stadium.

    NFL comes to London

    London's new Wembley Stadium has been chosen to host a Miami Dolphins game next season. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/american_football/6248825.stm http://www.skysports.com/skysports/article/0,,2021-1247574,00.html Could be a hugh risk by Miami to give up home field advantage.

    Matt Gidley

    Unfortunately, that was one of Gardners problems last season too, found touch way too often. Saying that though, he still came within a couple of tries of finishing SL top try-scorer.

    Matt Gidley

    Unfortunately, that winger will be Ade Gardner. Ade has pace to burn and can have his moments, but is a total confidence player. You could see last season, that Lyon wasn't putting the same ball out to Gardner as he was with Albert in '05, as he didn't have the faith in him at times. I hope...

    Darren Albert Might Go

    He doesn't. Jason Hooper had been told in 2005 that his contract was not up for renewal, as Saints had no room in the overseas quota. Albert leaving, freed up a quota spot and Saints resigned Hooper in that space.

    will you beat this st helens team?

    Not quite sure how a Hudds fan can call Hooper? Sure, some of his tackles may border on being late, but non have ever been as late as Costin's on Long. lockyno1, believe me, Jason Cayless is never underated by Saints fans. Possibly the best prop in SL last season and played a big factor in the...

    Darren Albert Might Go

    Saints paid Parra for Lyon's services in SL (around £60,000 I think), Parra held onto his NRL registration rights. Would make sense for the Sharks to do a similar thing with Albert, not costing them anything to keep him, but may aswell make something from this. Not sure if any English SL club...

    2007 Superleague shirts

    English Premier League football teams, Home shirt is every 2 years and 2nd 3rd kits can changed every season. 3rd kit is usually a classed as a training kit that can be used when your 1st & 2nd both clash with the other team. I think Australian teams are changing kits a lot more than they ever...

    St Helens- BBC Team of the Year

    Saints polled 68% of the vote, the London press are none to happy that a Northern team won it. Saints Coach Daniel Anderson also won Coach of the Year, making Saints the first team to collect both awards in the same year since 1966, when the World Cup winning England team did it. Saints Team...

    Super League 2007 Squads

    Has Platt officially signed yet? Last I heard, Cas had told Platt to return for pre-season training as he does not have a get-out clause in his contract. Illegal approach maybe??

    Saints sweep the boards at awards...

    Hard to go against Anderson as Coach of the Year, Challenge Cup winners, League Shield winners and Grand Finalists. OK, we know he had the squad to do it, but so did Leeds, Bradford & Wigan and they all ended up with nothing. Did Noble deserve it for keeping Wigan up....NO... it was always a...

    Junior Academy GF: Saints thrash Wigan

    Mike Rush knows his stuff. Also a former Coach of Liverpool Buccaneers, we have him to thank for our Club Captain and current Player of the Year, Mark Webster. He also took 2 of our players to Saints, now playing in the Senior Academy.
