I think saint just hope to get lucky with them

you could pick two kids off the street and hope to get lucky if they was 18 year old kids i say ya give them a chance but ones same age as moore and clough and the other is same age as wheeler foster and others

They hope they get lucky and get one or two good players on the cheap.

you got the last bit spot on two lads on peanuts to make up the squad numbers and a plus is they are irish

Wouldn't mind if they turned out as good as the last Irish player we had at saints, tommy martyn

Brian Carney was a premium rugby league player, good enough to star in the NRL despite him being a nobody in his 20s when he was signed up to league.

If either are half as successful we'll have done well.

They will have the basic core skills of passing and tackling as they have played rugby union to a reasonable level.If they will make it or not remains to be seen but its worth a try.

Did we decide whether we'd be seeing them playing in Friday's u20s game?

I dunno. I'm about to top myself because they are all just rubbish anyway and there is no hope for us and people on here are freakin depressives ...

I've got no problem at all with these signings. Obviously it's a bit of an experiment, but it won't be costing us much money. The worst case scenario is that we'll end up helping out Irish RL, and if we're lucky we might get a decent squad member.

What if they're getting paid Matt King wages?

Best case scenario is they could both be world class in league. Some people on here are so negative.

They have both featured in an u20's game. The back 2 weeks ago and the forward last week, so it is possible that they will play. I don't know of anywhere that the squads are published before the game though.

Just arrived to see the u20s clapped off. Couldn't see the big Irishman, however our no 12 looks massive! Who's that?
No 5 wasn't small either, was that Brotherton?

5 is definitely Brotherton, not sure on 12, Joe Greenwood maybe?
