m.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league ... mlom9.html He's taken a pay cut to stay at the Sharks for the last few seasons, hopefully with a marquee player coming into effect he'd be worth a few bob of anyone's money ? Here's the controversial line - reduce Lockers paycheck and sign him up for 1/2 years, same effect as Barrett but in a better team ? We're only getting a handful of games from Lockers and that's reducing each year, I know we've got young talent but when world class players are available they need to be bought

I have to say I don’t really get the signing at the moment. Realistically we will need 3 outside back injuries for him to get a run. 


We obviously have 1 in Miski so need 2 more before he becomes viable for 2025 unless we just give him a game at some point as a bit of a novelty which I think would be the wrong thing to do as it disrespects the shirt. 


If the idea was to generate a bit of headlines we’ve not really done much to fuel that fire, so I’m left with the conclusion that this is a us having a serious look at him for a few months with a view to having him in the squad in 2026 to compete for the back up wing spot with Sambou. 

On the Vaughan situation..


He got plenty of stick yesterday from the away end but gave it back too to be fair. When we were singing “you’re just a s**t Ed Sheeran” he laughed and clapped as if to say “nice one. Brierley was laughing himself too and then Vaughan was pointing at the other ginger Salford player as if to say “me or him”

All good natured fun and probably better than the game to be honest

On a more serious note it must be strange for him and his family. All die hard Saints fans and it’s ending like this. I know it’s his decision- make your own bed and all that- but I bet no one envisaged this


Also with another 2 injuries yesterday and Whitby failing his HIA (good job we had that medical review last year..) I wonder if Sambou may get a game next week. He scored 4 tries for the Reserves on Saturday and we'll need to shuffle the back line again if he puts Sailor or Robertson in the halves to replace Whitby.
