Surely the youth coaches should be doing something to change this then?

If it's true about the attitude then it truly is disgusting. I'd give my left b*llock to be a pro Rugby League player.

To be fair if half our lads make it professionally that will be a fantastic achievement.

Im sure most of the guys realise that.

Whats important is that they all develop as individuals.A small numbe,r perhaps one or two a year will prove good enough. Most will make do with living the dream for a brief period.

A shoe-in for our full back role then.

From a Wigan point of view.

That young Warren Thompson seems to have put too much weight on (He was a whippet last year I wonder how he put so much size on so quick?

He was really struggling to run and add to that he isn't that tall either and playing second row you have to have size in both height and build and agile enough to be quite fast to run good lines. He hits hard in the tackle I will give him his due but he needs to get into shape if he wants to make it otherwise he will end up at Blackbrook next year.

Gary Wheeler looks a tremendous prospect but I would play him at centre rather than 6. Next year I would give him he 4 shirt and play Soliola in the second row or sell him to Wigan please I would like to see him play for us!

Haggerty, Lomax and Gaskell look like good players also especially Lomax.

So would I. I think many Saints fans would like him to make the centre spot his own as he has been excellent there whenever he has played. We're all just keeping everything crossed that his continuous stream of injuries ends.

I watched him play for Saints early in the season and thought he was good and wondered what happened to him and why he wasn't in the team now.

Was that through injury then or team selection?

Injuries. He's blighted with them. It's a shame as his propensity to be injured may well spoil what is a promising RL career. However, many players are plagued with injury when young so hopefully we'll stick with him and see how he goes.

Easy decisions when deciding who to release for the coaching staff at the end of the year then.

Can anyone confirm if Haggerty has been released or not?

Yup he has.

Thought we had high hopes for this kid?

dont think so.

Not that im aware of.

Good solid lad but never touted as a star in the making.

Like Roy plays with his heart on his sleave.

Sounds like Shaun Ainscough would fit in well with them, then....
