Quite right good partnerships are a rare commodity these days especially through injury, communication and confidence in your inside man is essential if your not to come flying out of position all the time.

Was told yesterday Adam Swift has been told to find another club from next season

I don't believe that.

I thought he made a couple of errors in defence, his usual issue with moving in off his winger.

I can't Brown needs his head testing?

Dawson or Ade Gardner (due back next year) last night would not have scored Swifts try last night in the corner? Yes Adams defence lets him down at times but offers far more in attack and work rate.

I was more worried about Josh Jones defence last night he makes me nervous, his indecision to committ to tackle is effecting Swifts read to defend.

yeah, id much rather have Swifts attacking threat and possible defensive frailties over Dawson who has zero attacking threat and isnt exactly Kevin Iro in defence either

Getting rid of Swift would be a pretty stupid thing to do.

I do know he was ed off about being pushed out by Dawson then Dawson getting young player of the year. So maybe there has been a falling out and that's why he's being asked to leave.

Nevertheless if it's true then that would be stupid work on Saints' behalf and poor man management.

I really hope this isn't true. There's uncertainties about Brown not even being at Saints next season so who would have made this call?

There's something not right though. We're developing a reputation for letting promising young lads leave.

Are we? Other than Eastmond I can't think of a single youngster who we've let go that I wish we'd have kept, and that was beyond our control.

Well this is a good way to take the sheen off reaching the grandfinal.

Nothing but rumour to my knowledge...
