I doubt we'll even see Gil Dudson for more than a handful of games next year, let alone see him make a big impact.

I think Liam Farrell and Brett Finch may have big years.

Agree with Rads, one to watch Gareth Hock which really is no surprise given his ability.
Surprise package, Lauaki.

As bad as he can be at times he does have some serious potential so I also agree that he could surprise us all.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

Why?

Do you watch the U20's / U18's?

Watching the 20's grand final this year Logan looks to be getting on in the game on pretty much name alone. Is that harsh? Maybe but when I see a hooker with not much pace, who's not the biggest or strongest and who's passing isn't great I can't help but feel he's fighting a losing battle.

Hopefully he'll prove my eyes aren't all that.

If the Widnes dangerman is Ah Van they're in for one hell of a long season which to be fair is probably the case.

Dudson, Mossop and Hock - looking forward to seeing a lot of power from our pack next season. A bit wary of expecting too much, too soon from Dudson, but he's a big unit!

Harrison Hansen will take the next step and establish himself as a real top class second row next season.

Officially RLFAN's most Doe-eyed Happy Clapper. Big Steve wrote: The Internet has provided some wonderful creativity, opportunities and knowledge sharing but it has also given a worldwide forum for people you would leave a full pint behind in the pub to avoid having to listen to them. aboveusonlypie... If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg

Think we must have watched different grand final I do think that is a bit harsh, his passing is good, he gets the team around the pitch well and tops the tackle count every week.Not the fastest but still is possible to play at the highest level at 9 without electric pace. Needs to kick on a bit this year but wouldnt be suprised if he did. Rogues comments are interesting ( and yes i watch the u18s and 20s games ) , Carberry is a big strong lad but his distribution and organisational skills are awful, his strength is his scooting.The fact that he gets very little game time when Tomkins plays shows how they compare the two. A lad with a future probably but not convinced it will be at hooker with wigan. I recall rogues being particularly keen on Sam Gee being given a run in the first team a couple of years ago, think he plays for Wigan RU now.
