Hopefully saints can do us a favour this week and beat KR. Tough ask with the players they have out.

Wane said in the pre match interview that Farrimiond was in his thoughts even as early as for the Samoa squad. I'm sure Robertson will be too. A couple of great prospects for sure!

Can I mention "open goals" and "tries against 12 men" Stu or will that make me a bad winner?

Wellens didn't do himself too much good in picking out Robertson letting Marshall go around towards the posts for his try as the example of them not doing the basics. It's not that he's wrong but there were many examples of players making silly errors and picking out a kid who has been your shining light recently isn't overly wise.

I believe Robertson is more of a stand off than a full back from his academy days. I'm not sure but I think you can see that in how he's played. His footwork is startling and he's going to be some player as he fills out but there has been the odd error here and there. He got picked off by Farrimond with that try by rushing up and leaving the space in behind. The quick thinking and vision from Farrimond to see that though was outstanding. I sense those two will play in some huge games against each other in the coming years.

The biggest problem is that both players are likely to be in the NRL before too long! Two new clubs to be added to the NRL, we all know they are going to look to entice our top talent.

17 tackles and 4 runs for 23m doesn't strike me as impressive?

and more talk this morning about the NRL being in loose talks to invest in Superleague. They won't be doing that to help us, that's for sure!

When I watch Robertson play he reminds me of Kalyn Ponga. Maybe without the lightning pace but he is no slouch.

I think Sailor will hinder his development tho because welsby 1 Sailor 6 is highly likely to be first choice next year

In how many minutes?

Ponga is what I said too when I first saw him in May 2022 against Wigan scholars. First time I saw Farrimond too and they were the best two on the pitch by a distance

Agreed NK. I think he’s a 6 too and that’s where he has played the majority of his youth rugby.

From the brief bits us non Saints fans have seen of him if he can bulk up a bit IMO with his footwork and hands he might be an option at centre for you, definitely looks like a great prospect whatever position he ends up in if you can keep hold of him (NRL, not another SL club)

Best we can do is try and stop them increasing their points difference by 50?

Saints are going to have to throw some money at him and quick.

Did you see the Broncos/Eels game, Stu? Sailor was solid at the back, and scored a lovely solo try, Clint Gutherson couldn't lay a glove on him.
