Grace has more mobility/strength, so can bust a tackle or 2 - don’t see that with Ashton at the moment, his tries seem to come from gaps and opposition errors, not seen as often in SL
His future success will be down to coaching and conditioning, be surprised if he gets a gig in the first team next season

At Cas, Danny Richardson will be the unknown quantity.
Is he the latest half-back to leave Saints and go on to be a fantastic player? Or he is over-rated based on one season? What will his partnership with Trueman be like - fresh and explosive or inexperienced and naive?
We know what Watts will bring. We know Eden will be rocks and diamonds. Tyla Hepi might surprise a few if he takes his opportunity,
So for us, I don’t think it’s one player - it’s how well the Richardson/Trueman combination works.

Who are the other half backs to leave Saints who went on to have great careers?

I am really hopin Jake Connor will show good things for Hull FC, he has the 7 shirt, time to knuckle down and stop being petulant.

Is that the same as a kn0b head

Im hoping for good things from Bevan French. Lightning pace and excellent footwork. He could really thrive at 6

Or he could be a complete flop

Yeah, but that's pretty much par for the course for any player coming through Bradford's junior ranks - other teams are the ones who benefits due to the poor management of the club.

Matty Smith.
Kyle Eastmond.
Lee Briers.
Just off the top of my head.

Lewis Dodd from St Helens.

Easily the most highly rated English product for years. A host of NRL clubs are already trying to sign him after his unprecedented display in Saints recent tour of Australia.

Evidence?

As ever there is none, he’s confused opinion with fact.

At Fev I'd suggest the two who might have a higher profile at the end of the season than they have now are James Harrison, who came on in leaps and bounds as last season went on, is still only 23, and was effective either in the middle or at edge back row, and Alec Susino, who was consistently one of Barrow's best players last season, can play huge minutes and probably hasn't yet attracted the attention he deserves.

Richardson with Trueman could turn out to be a great partnership for us. Or could be a massive bust.

Looking forward to seeing the signing of Tyla Hepi too. He's getting big raps in pre season by all accounts.

As a Salford fan (and as last year proved) we're really a team unit and we've had a lot of unsung heroes over the past couple of seasons.

As mentioned by another poster I expect Seb I (I'm not even gonna try and spell his name ) to have a big year. A 2017 Dream Teamer at Hudds, our conditioning staff will have him firing and ready to go and I'm hoping for big things.

Pauli Pauli was also a massive impact player when we had him on loan last year and again I reckon he'll be in peak shape to terrorise a few defensive lines this year.

I think Lolohea could have an absolute stormer for us as well. Showed plenty of glimpses last season and with his recent International displays and alongside a fit Kevin Brown we could have one of SL best HB pairings.

Harry Smith and Kai Pearce Paul from Wigan
