It's not selling players that that was the problem it was the sneaky way in which they did business. The Goon board is a different kettle of fish , they were reckless but I suspect had the right intentions

years to wait before we stepped out of that smelly, rancid, retard-accented shadow and took Super League and summer rugby by storm.



Just a pity we've been on the decline again since Anderson left.

On Super League Supermen he gave the full account of the transfer to Wigan:



He was in Australia and then got told he was getting sold to Wigan he then told them he would play for Saints for half the money Wigan offered him. But they sold him to get a fee.

I was told that years ago, he didnt really want to leave but as Th'ump said he was offered a pathetic contract by Saints.

- like Gaskell allegedly (£12K).

I really wish I hadn't read that, Ganson's actually gone up in my estimation

Hence why St Helens fans attacks on an innocent player have been nothing short of contemptable.



To a previous poster, your Wigan history is totally incorrect.



You should be grateful for Wigan throwing your club a lifeline.

Whilst the stick Connolly got was a bit over the top, you should remember the abuse Sean Long suffered for years and years off Wigan fans before throwing stones in glasshouses.



And that wasn't even a direct transfer between the clubs.

I don't know the ins and outs but lets face it he has had a couple of decades to concoct a good story!

Lol , actually a decent lad Ste and he was a home and away regular at that point.

I know for a fact that Gaskell is on much better than that.

He told me that exact story when having a beer with him after the Wigan heritage day in 2011 when I'd been in the exec box and managed to get into the players bar.



At the end of season dinner a few weeks later, he remembered I'd bought him a pint at last orders and bought me one back
