Next season we will be stronger in the pack with the addition of Fozzard and Moore; and our three quarters are stronger with the addition of Soliola.
Our other young lads - Eastmond, Wheeler, Dean, Lomax, Dixon and Ashurt - are a year further on in their development.
On the negative side:
Wellens' lack of pace is a growing problem;
KC is another year older, but that is pretty much negated by the addition of Moore.
Gilmour will be a loss.
On the whole, we should be stronger in 2010 than 2009, IMO.
The loss of Long is no massive problem.'"
Unluckly for saints, as may have been previously said, is that a lot of the big players are coming to an end within a few seasons of each other.
Cant really see fozzard adding a great deal but can understand why they have got him again, runs hard and straight, and by all accounts trains the house down, so will be a good one to show the young lads.
Saints major problem for me is how pryce responds, he can be brilliant, however he also can become a complete passenger, and without long steering them round the pitch, his missing persons act could prove a massive problem.
To be honest, we need someone to compete with leeds and as much as this hurts, saints are still the only ones on this years form who can do this.
However depending how We, Wire, Huds, and KR go next year there is a better than average chance of the top two monopoly being broken.
