Wellens best is obviously behind him as soon in the world cup. Be surprised if u throw in a youth player to lead you around the field next season though.

Saints offerd him a 1 year deal.

Big Mac told him he would only be offering him a 1 year deal when they were going to sit down and discuss it at the end of July and that if he wanted longer would have to look elsewhere.

So technically there was no offer (terms or contract) made.

So the was a 1 year deal on the table then

No there wasn't , not according to Long.

Listen the interview on Radio Manchester last night.

Dobson is a decent player but he's doing well at Hull KR so leave him there so he can help build a side around him on East Hull... I REALLY like Saints' policy of bringing kids through! They've worked fantastically hard to improve the youth set up over the years and the kids are now not just knocking at the door, but 'smashing' straight through it!

I know by experience of watching our great game that not everykid at Saints will come through, but they're not doing too bad so far & they're only babies! I think it's really exciting for Saints & England that these youngsters are coming through!
