With him and Jamie Foster off the books yesterday, does this mean that we have room under the cap for another signing?

Dixon is a player id like to have kept at Saints but a player who im not overly bothered about leaving. He is a talented player with an ability to run a good line and his support play was great too. He tried hard and gave what he had for Saints and you can't really complain about that.

Glad that he is moving to where he will get a game and good luck to him.

I'm kind of enjoying this little clearout we are having.

Well, I don't know about you but I'm certainly looking forward to it. In fact, had Brown not been coming in, I wouldn't have renewed my season ticket for next year. I do have my doubts about Brown - namely, how long before he is looking at the NRL and whether we will tail off at the back end like Hudds did - but I do very much like the way he got Hudds playing and I do very much hope he brings that same flair to Saints. I don't care about final league position, so long as we get into the 8 (or whatever it is in 2013, I assume it will be the top 8 ) but I do want us playing attractive rugby again and I do believe that we have the players to do that, assuming players are picked on their effort and ability rather than because they are senior players and moaning.

I think Brown is the 2nd best coach in super league behind tony smith but my only concern is his constant links to the NRL.

Brown has a tough job on his hands as he's took over a squad with no reconised halves and IMO a unbalanced squad.

Brown's at a stage now where if he wants an NRL job, he's got to make it work at Saints. If he can't do that, he's not worth an NRL gig.

This thread has been through a real range of topics!!

Dixon was never going to stay really, given the amount of class and depth we have in his position. Dixon was simply not going to get a game, so it was best for him to go and develop playing first team elsewhere.
