Lots of talk about a 'new signing' but all the speculated names are being snapped up.

Is there really another signing on the cards? By the names that are left to get it looks like it would be a wasted signing more than anything

Confirmed speculation that we at least were looking for a forward. Royston has mentioned it a few times.

Yup, the ambitious clubs are snapping up all the talent. Get used to it, it's the future.

Not really all that worried to be honest, I reckon Wigan and Wire have peaked and look a bit old in the tooth next season.
Catalans look really strong with some excellent acquisitions.

If Lance turns out to be a success then see no reason why we should,t be in the top 4 as usual. The younger players have another season under there belt, some how I don,t think our BOD will buy in to make up the numbers.

The only player I would like to see at the club is Benji, is it really an impossibilty.

Well we'll have to wait and see won't we . In terms of the clubs with ambition who are you talking about saddened. As far as I can see we have missed out on one championship prop. Lynch was never on the cards no ne pays a six figure transfere fee for a 31year old unless they are desperate to find cover.

Like Soliola was this year, Perry will be like a new signing next year, our squad with cover next year could be
1 Wellens Lance Makinson Ashe
2 Gardner Makinson
3 Shenton Wheeler
4 Meli Soliola Wheeler
5 Foster Makinson
6 Lance Gaskell Wheeler
7 Lomax Lance
8 LMS Puletua Laffrichi Forster
9 Roby Flanaghan
10 Perry Clough Magennis
11 Soliola Dixon
12 Wilkin Flanaghan
13 Puletua Flannery

Theres plenty of cover there (which we made need if injuries are the same as this year!)

You can't have first team players as cover in other positions icon_lol.gif

Going off your list if Lomax gets injured, we're up the creek.

Quote: Saddened! "You can't have first team players as cover in other positions Of course you can, thats how squads work. Most people would have Wheeler in any Saints team (if fit of course) either at centre or either HB position. Again Lance will play either HB position or fullback, depending where he's needed. Modern players are much more versatile.
as for being up a creek without Lomax, while it wouldnt be good, we'll still have Gaskell, Lance and Wheeler to cover the hb positions

If we look at your starting 17 instead of 13, removing the cover avaialbale, then we look a little bit thin on the ground if any of them pick up injuries, particularly at prop, where really we only have Magennis, and Forster. When Perry limps off after 10 minutes, and the ageing Laffranchi second rower struggles to fill Grahams boots, we could be stoofed quite quickly.

Quote: Top Saint "Glass half empty
Just a realist! Don't underestimate the loss of Graham, we have no where near replaced either his ability, or the amount of work he does through the season in terms of time on the pitch. Grahams contribution is equal to double what any other prop can give us, at the minute, his only replacement is Laffranchi, which is not enough. (ok, maybe I am feeling as gloomy as saddened!)

Some fans seem to have forgotten that there are young players who will be knocking on the door of the first team next season but who weren't ready this season. How do we know that one of them is not better than Lomax in the halves? Or at least just as good to stand in? Our squad isn't set in stone. We can always add more young players. I guess that's the beauty of having a good youth setup.
