I know Dougie pretty well, his older brother is a very good mate of mine and I speak to Dougie quite often. His name's actually Lewis, but he's a really good player. Plays full back/loose, but Warrington said they wanted to turn him into a second row. Has everything, pace, skill, strength, kicks goals and puts in some massive hits in defence. If there are any Saints fans on here who watch their service area, a few years back he broke a Saints player's collarbone with a massive shot. When I last spoke to Dougie he said he's spoken to Peter Farrell and he said to him the club have massive hopes for him, same with Bastian, seems a massive shame that he's sacked us off.

I'll probably speak to him this week, tell his brother to tan his a'rse for going to Stains

A full back who can tackle like a forward would be an intimidating last line of defense for us definitely. Hopefully he can secure a first team spot in the next 5 years.

He's only 14/15 so you'd be looking at at least 5 years I think.

Pah ..... I remember Daryll Lacey being touted as the next big thing.

Tis true, but I'm glad Saints are in for the best youngsters around. Of course they won't all make it . . . . . but lots do.

To be fair its easy to be better than the two of them put together.............. whats the point in a world class forward whos ALWAYS injuried Id say even the most average of players would be better than that!

Just spoken to a mate who tells me he's moved because he can train twice a week with Saints, but only once a week with Warrington. So that's the secret recipe?

He had a lot of personal turmoil in his life at a young age and didn't apply himself as he should have done. Had lots of natural talent but also liked a drink a little too much

so saints have signed dougie

Well you have come to the right place here.


This is where all the Stains fans who wish their club was as big as ours come.

There's a quote in Radders book attributed to Magic Johnson

"Talent is never enough, with few exceptions the best players are the hardest workers"

Really. Craig Murdock was once the "new Shaun Edwards" - what happened to him? Oh yeah. Ended up playing lower division at Hull FC & Hull KR and now a BBC Humberside Hull FC commentator.
