rlThe worst kept secretrl is finally confirmed on the official Saints site.

Good luck to him. Outstanding with the ball on his day, but can at times be a liability without it.

Average player, who can look good against the lower teams but rarley performs against the top teams.

Lots of work to do on defence.

Jordan will come on fine at a bigger club with better players around him thanks

Hurray!

Jury is out on this one. In an attacking sense, we won't be able to moan as much about lacking pace with Makinson and Turner in there. His defense worries me, but he's a typical Brown signing and hopefully he can improve him in the way he has with the Huddersfield outside backs.

Do we think that's it now for recruitment?

Strikes me as suspect in defence and average to good in attack. I hope he proves me wrong as he will no doubt be a big chunk of our SC.
Would have preferred a big new prop or two.

He's faster than Shenton, as you saw earlier this year. But every other aspect of his game is (atm) worse than Shenton.
Who's going to be his winger? He'll need somebody experienced to keep his head on the ball and stop him from jumping out the line or being attracted inside.

Interesting you seem to think he's going to play centre, he's always maintained he wants to play back row.

oh my lord. Thats not good, not good at all.

He'll do a similar job to Shenton on far less money too, so I think it's good business for Saints.

I can see him improving under brown, though.

Not a good signing for me, not as good as our current youngsters but hope I can be proved wrong. Just think from Lyon to Gidley to Shenton to Turner can we get much lower?

Jury's out - might prove to be a great signing but probably more than likely not. It seems to me like we're very definitely overloading and spending all of our money in the pack for next season and economising in the backs by downgrading from Shenton to Turner... Probably not a bad move given the appalling lack of back talent out there at the moment, and a given amount of cash definitely buys you more value in forwards than backs right now, but a sad sign of the times nevertheless.

I'm fine with this. He's only 23 and he hasn't been playing in the centres for all that long, but he has raw athleticism, which is something that our backline has been sorely missing. He's a project, and while he won't be on peanuts I'm sure he'll be a significant mark down from Shenton in price.

If he's intelligent enough to improve his game, he could prove to be a very good signing.

Raw, but the potential is certainly there. Could easily go either way but I don't see it as much of a downgrade on the 2011/2012 Shenton TBH and if we've saved cap as a result, it's the right move.
