According to Brown, the contracts that eat in to the available money are Walmsley, Amor, Thompson, Richards and Percival's.
Guesstimating leaves us with Manus money at least available for a new signing:
Manu = ???
Soliolas money = Vea + walmsley
Laffranchi = burns + Percival
Wheeler = Amor
Beaumont + mcdonnell + all the rest = Thompson + Richards
How much that is, is anyone's guess, but enough to bring a very good player in imo.
Didn't know Galbraith had gone - are there any other outside backs ready to step up in the kids? They seem to have had a good season - Spedding is a name that sticks in my head? |

I hope we user Greenwood a bit more next season. I'm a big fan.
What are peoples views on next season... should we aim to fit the youngsters in and blood them more or use them as and when? I think we should try and get Hewitt in there against the lesser teams as Walsh will be OOC with us.

Walsh is very open to the idea of taking a 3rd year with the club. |

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG |

McManus always had a 5 year plan to bring the youth through but that got scuppered with Eastmond and Wheeler with Graham going to better himself.
I think we are in a decent position to give it another shot whilst Walsh and Burns are still here especially in developing Hewitt who I,ve never seen to be honest. Thompson for me could get better and be in a similar statue to Graham and I would expect Richards, Greenwood and Sav to have the potential to get in the regular starting 17 to add to the power of Mose, Walmsley and Amor. |

Could be Adam Saunders as I feel he's more ready for first team than Spedding |

So do we have any outside backs in the academy looking likely to be an option in an injury crisis?

Jake Spedding is a great prospect but this year was his first in the academy. He is probably 2 years off any first team appearances.
Jack Ashworth who will be in the first team next season is a very good centre. Can play second row too.
Wing options: Makinson, Swift, Gardner, Dawson
Centre options: Turner, Percival, Jones, Ashworth |

 thanks! I thought Ashworth was primarily a second row? Given his long term contract I guess Saints have big hopes for him though!
Will be good to see the next wave pushing through next year - we should be using a good squad of 30+ again looking at it...

He can play both positions.
So far I have counted 30 first team players for next season. Last season we started with 35 in the squad. There maybe one or two more promoted from the u19's or we may sign one from outside the club.
We only have about 3 weeks before pre season training starts.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

Don't forget Dawson can cover wing and centre. Personally I think Centre is his strongest, but can fill either hole more than adequately.
