Eckerlsey is not ready to start every week IMO.

He missed a few tackles against Hull and I’ve yet to see classic centre play from him yet.

He’s in the perfect position of being 3rd choice winger/centre/full back so will see plenty of game time.

He should continue in that role for the next season at least.

Agree, although I'd be surprised if game time comes into it to be honest. He should know that he'll get plenty of that. It's not so often that you have a fully fit 1-7, and I think that's the only situation where Eckersley doesn't play. Maybe if we're a half short Farrimond gets the nod now, but we're just as likely to play Zach and move Keighran. And that's just where we are now, in 12 months it's very possible that he'll have taken either Keighran's or even Miski's shirt.

But financially he's definitely at the point where he shouldn't have to sell himself short, and like you say Saints have got plenty of cash to play around with.

He is under contract mate.

Extension announced for Douglas. Really glad about this as he's a great prospect who I think will be pushing for a starting spot in the next year or two.

'NRL veteran' Kyle Feldt to Saints, then? Another short-term move, going for a 32 year old?

Risk of injury obviously increases for any player approaching mid 30s but looks to be a great finisher.

Shame he'll never get a pass

[listBut great at bringing the ball off his own line.......

be 33 at the start of next year too

He’s still a cracking player.

Good injury and try scoring record.

Great finisher close to the line come up with some freakish finishes, will strengthen them even if they are losing TM.

Hang on. A few days ago we were “in talks to sign him” and now it’s “I do believe we made enquiries”. Just give up this persona like you have sources. You don’t. You are just trying to look cool and it’s embarassing!

There's literally no one on here more embarrassing than you (you can't even spell it correctly) you are a grown man regularly changing usernames and randomly arguing with strangers. You're an absolute whopper who should've been banned long ago

But back to the point, when did I say we were in talks to sign him? I literally repeated a rumour that apparently his brother had said Wigan were struggling to fit him under the SC and we were interested.

Will we see Bevan in the squad tomorrow?

Wouldn’t be opposed to him playing instead of Forber on the bench.

Not sure if he's got any inside knowledge but the bloke from Wigan (but lives in France) who posts as Catalans media on X is hinting French has travelled with the squad (he said they were flying over today).

Harry Smith said they're travelling on Friday at the Hull game. He isn't going though so he could be wrong
