Naiqama just for this season seems a sensible enough move but any longer, not so much. The rumours and signings I'm seeing across superleague highlights what a tricky time it is currently to get players in. There is next to nothing available in terms of homegrown players and the expansion of the NRL is making overseas recruitment more and more difficult. How people think the top league here could go to 14 teams is beyond me.

I would stick with Robertson he needs a long run in the first team. The reserves or a period on loan isn’t going to develop him. Saints need to be bold rather than regressive.

So can I reasonably assume that Sailor is not on your secret list?

That could seriously derail the development of the three young players you put such great faith in unless that is more senior players move on

The correct way to do it. It's how we have done it and are doing it this year with Eckersley (a bit forced though that one) Farrimond and Hill. Keeps that production line moving, some will make it, some will be moved on. Don't know much about Sailor but i didn't know much about Field so you never know. I would rather him be a Frawley than a French though when he turns out for you

I like Sailor, think he will go well in Superleague with the right mindset, are Saints signing Iro? I think he would smash it up in Superleague, looked like he was signing for Cas last season and it didn’t happen, was linked with Saints but then broke into the Sharks team.

Can't believe Saints aren't all over Lachlan Lam. Soon as I saw the article stating other SL clubs in for him I had that pinned down as Saints. Wasted if he moves to Hull FC, he'd do better staying at Leigh.

Iro? No way hes going to anybody in SL now he's first choice. Sailor is awful under the high ball so hopefully Saints play him at 1

Tried to look on the red v site would not let you, you now have to register just to read the site, strange.

"It's a local site for local people, nothing for you here"

Bit annoying, I've never posted on there but it's nice to get all the gossip from the other side of the hill

It's because they have changed servers and hosting since they 'revamped' it. It must have cost about a quid and it crashes when 5 people at a time try to view their website. It's an interesting way of avoiding traffic to your site and missing out on sponsorships but ah well

It isn't. It is because of a certain clown who spends his days reading the forums and then screenshotting conversations and posting them on Twitter. Nothing to do with cost or any revamp. The site is working fine.
