Quote: NickyKiss "Saints have been absolutely outstanding this season in comparison to that rabble at Old Trafford. That was an absolute disgrace yesterday.'"


I said exactly the same to my eldest lad yesterday. I said at least Saints put the effort in on Saturday.

Quote: Stu M "As for 2025 the backline does look better and I personally feel we still have a couple of more signings to announce

However we need 1-2 props as a minimum, maybe a 9 and most definitely a centre.

Walmsley and Lomax are finished and it is criminal that they still have 2 years left on their contracts. Appalling squad management. It was ridiculous that Stephens wasn't on the bench on Saturday and instead Burns played for 10 mins.

A lot is going to depend on the development of the likes of Robertson, Vaughan, Dagnall etc now that they are FT and in a FT strength and conditioning environment. Robertson will undoubtedly come back a stone heavier at least for next season.

We are also hoping that Briers has a good impact on our attack.'"


I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the 17 and Stephens wasn't in it. Only last week, he was the only Saints prop who made inroads in to Leigh and that was a Leigh side defending for their lives. I think you can likely add Paasi to the 'he's done' list going off this season. He looks like he'll need a big pre season to bounce back.

Spot on. The issue with Stephens is that he runs out of gas really quickly but x2 10 mins spells would've been ideal. You'd expect him to improve his fitness more and more as he is FT. He is a real prospect for sure.

I'm willing to give Paasi the benefit off the doubt and I think he needs a good pre-season. He was rushed back in many ways due to our injuries and he's never looked right.

That said him warming up in a hoodie with the hood up like it was -5 degrees doesn't exactly set a good tone.

I think the challenge is finding props at the right price. I've been commenting on the Leeds forum too, and they reckon they need 3-4 props with Oledski, and seem happy to get rid of the rest, maybe keep 1 of them as 6th choice

so if you and Leeds are both in the market for props, and there aint many around, then its a good time to be one, as its likely they'll be getting decent money thrown at them

i know many fans including our own were laughing last year, when we signed a prop every week but it has proven to have been very shrewd business so far, as we've seen out injuries and suspensions and been competitive most weeks, and we've got 2 project signings in Eseh and Chan to add to our rotation, hopefully after a good pre-season

It was extremely shrewd business by Wigan but then to be fair their succession planning has been on point for a couple of years now which is why they are the top dogs.

Personally I'd take Chris Hill for 12 months. His experience would be invaluable in bringing on the likes of Delaney and Stephens. I still think there's a player in Delaney, just needs a bit more size.
