... at Mike Bennetts Testamonial Forum last night



"What does the future hold for you when your contract finishes at the end of 2011?"



"Well I have this season and next to get something sorted, Im 50/50 as to what I'm going to do I won't lie... Its a life long ambition to play in Australia but I'm also very happy at St.Helens. I wont be going to Wigan or Warrington, I could never play against Saints for another Super League side, IF I left it would be for the NRL. All you should be talking about it the exciting future ahead, new stadium, a great Chairman and all these Superstar kids coming through into the squad. I'll be sitting down with Eamon sooner rather than later to discuss my future"



Give the guy some wraps for his honesty!









He also stated Kyle 50/50 for Sunday, no mention of Gardner when asked if anyone else is back.



He regrets storming off the pitch at Leeds but after seeing Hooper, Sculthorpe and Bennetts careers ended by shoulder injuries he wasn't impressed by a chicken wing tackle.



And finally he owes all his success to his Dad who stopped an advert for Under 8 players for St.Helens Crusaders.

I think he'll stay.



I cant see many Aussie clubs offering him big money. They love their backs and half backs over in OZ. However if he does leave then we will move on.



Like he said we have some wonderfull youngsters comming thru.

Morley, Ellis and Flannagan were all forwards though



It was funny hearing Jammer say all these youngsters with him still only being 24

I also think he'll stay. By saying he doesn't want to play for another super league club shows his loyalty to Saints. I actually can't see him wearing anything other than a Saints shirt.

So 2012 you're saying he's nailed on St.George Illawara?

Hope he does stay but that sounds very much like he's on his way.



As long as we try and get a buy-back agreement to stop him turning out for one of our rivals!

smashing lad, he was very passionate about the fans he said he loves saints and all the fans who get behind the team.

Can we get this posted on the warrington site

Burgess too. I think you may find the Aussies start to realise there may be a few good players to be had from the SL and could take advantage of giving a chance in a (alleged) superior comp in order to save a few bucks on wages.



Next Saints player to the NRL - Paul Clough.

Of course Burgess, was in a rush typing missed him...



At previous Forums the likes of Gids, Flanno and Meli have all said NRL is far to robotic and structured now, no longer enjoyable... Its a business not a sport.



TP said exactly the same last night, hopefully Jammer was listening to him and what the rest have had to say...

Cronulla Sharks want Gary Wheeler when his contract expires. As do a couple of Union clubs.

Sick note?





Hopefully Gaz's injuries sort themselves out and he can have a good run in the side... a very talented kid... Wheeler and Eastmond, Saints future half back combo... Saints should do what they can to keep it that way, unless his injury record worsens
