He shouldn't have done that.

He shouldn't have done that.

Thats what I thought - But obviously trying to come to grips with it...

[saintbrat]

hard to know if it hurts less if they do a one in all in announcement- like pulling a bandaid -
or drib and drabs dragging it out.....


BTW I will repeat I detest this time of the year.....

[jonesy]

Prince of Penzance

[Toy Saint]

So who is it?

[Sainter_Dad]

Brenton Payne

brentonpayne43 - Grateful for the opportunity I was given but unfortunately didn't turn out the way I wanted. Met some great people and made good mates. The dream is not over #done&dusted

[skeptic]

I'm a little surprised at that

[kosifantutti]

[sasaint]

I'm a little surprised at that

Really?

But all the best to him. Anyone who pulls on a Saints jumper has my respect.

[Bardon Saint]

Any insight into why? Why not any longer to develop?

I don't mind all that much. If recruitment/development don't foresee that he can make it then I'm happy that the call is made earlier rather than persisting with no outcome e.g. Curren, Saunders

He started behind the pack and was a bit of a project player but he had a few good games... Thought he was worth another year

Isn't he a rookie? They don't really count. We need to chop 3 from the main list at least

I'd prefer it all in one hit but as long as it's 4 or 5 from the main list I'll be happy.

Why don't you like it bratty? It's not like all the players on our list will take us forward - we need to make room for draftees and free agents, better trying that then hanging on to deadwood that is highly unlikely to progress.

Shenton,Curren,Holmes,Saunders & Fisher & Re rookie Chips ala Schnides bit of mentoring/Coaching if he is up for it!

[George27]

It is tough for the lad but not a surprise. Two years as a rookie, and by the end of the second year was still mainly in the Sandy Develolment team. We have to make room for new blood next year. Best of luck, Brenton.

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Agree ,good luck to the lad!

I gather you are suggesting those

no fact an any yet

[saintsRrising]

I'm a little surprised at that

Rookies spots will be tight in 2017. One of the 2 Irishmen already committed to has to take a normal rookie slot.
NOK and Coghlan both showed enough to be kept, but not necessarily elevated
Fisher may require one.

Agreed.

But if Longer goes in exchange for something to meet our needs, retain Holmes

there was some suggestion teams can have 3/4 international rookies in each catagory? which are above regular rookies?

anyone know?
