Utterly pathetic. No appreciation of the fact that he's terrible and keeping a kid out of the side.

The next quote is also ridiculous "Wellens also backed Saints to go all the way in the play-offs, despite suffering season-ending injuries to playmakers Luke Walsh, Jon Wilkin and Jonny Lomax.

He said: “We’ve had to come up with a different system to play with. We’ve had to rip up the play book in some respects and condense all the work we’d normally do on combinations in a two to three week period. It’s not ideal but needs must.

“But everyone has really embraced it and things are coming together.”

Not sure being embarrassed at home by Warrington is 'coming together'. But then that shows his captaincy capabilities off well. The whole club is suffering from a overestimation of their abilities and being top, simply because the other sides aren't going all out due to the current play off format, is again papering over the cracks.

Another thing I love about the article is how smug Wellens is about playing again. He knows as well as we all do that he can simply choose whether to get a new contract and that he's already guaranteed a spot in the 17. Again, sums the club up, no ambition and no chance of trophies over the next few years unless there is a major change in mentality. At the moment 'ok' is enough.

Regardless of whether he is worth a contract or not, I am absolutely made up he's got a new one if only to annoy Saddened. Hopefully Wheeler will get a new one and Saddo will flounce off to Warrington.

It won't be Saddo that goes to Warrington...........

Just wait till he's announced as our next coach.

Certainly a statement of intent from the Club.

A case of sentimentality over progress.

The tail wags the dog again.

What it does tell us is that Brown is staying for next year.

Wellens needs to be accommodated until the Asst Coach role to KC becomes available.

Largely predictable but nevertheless disappointing.

Wheeler?

No strength in depth anymore in Superleague, all clubs hanging onto there experienced players, Peacock, Sinfield, O'Loughlin, Westwood, Wilkin, Wello etc.

In our case perhaps Saddened can tell us who our next inspirational leader and captain is going to be, I can,t think of anybody.........LMS perhaps.

Never mind Saddo we should all be weeping. Wello going round again is not a good sign given he is not first choice in any position at all. It just means we are less likely to see the likes of Charnock or Hewitt given a chance because good old Wello will be wedged into the side come what may. If he was dirt cheap and only used in the event of an injury glut then fair enough but early this season proved that wont be the case, he'll be first name on the team sheet the only question is where ....

A

nother great signing.

Who's our current one?

Nathan Brown "Sorry Wello! We have already had a collection and got a card. Too late to go back now!!!"
