I wouldn't be surprised to see Dodd go to Aus in the near future.

We did well to keep him 2 years ago. Melbourne were sniffing and have been for some time. This was before he was even playing first team regularly. He has been on good money at Saints from the off due to interest from Australia.

It’s such a shame that all the clubs with good academies look to be getting targeted for raids from down under now. Losing the new breed of stars, like KPP, Pryce, Dodd etc would be tough to take. These are the guys who should be driving this league forward.

The only upside of it is that the international side should see the benefit and we need to ride that for all it’s worth. It’s tough to do that though when the country who is picking these lads off has little interest in competing.

The Aussies have been after KPP and Havard for a while. Harry Rushton is doing well down there. Dodd knows his "value" and won't be afraid to ask for top $. Whether Saints will or can afford to match it only time will tell. It's a shame that we have to lose top talent but I never blame players for taking the opportunity, they're only a couple of injuries from seeing their potential earnings nosedive.

Dodd is a very talented and confident lad - he''ll back his ability in Oz soon enough I expect.

They can't, I didn't know what age and division the other lad played in. Not every scholarship player comes from the top division.

no but he said the team and they are from the top division, thought you'd know that as both team won awards that night and you were there presenting

U16's play Huddersfield tonight at Ince Rose Bridge, I'll go down and have a look. Some outstanding talent in that that Wigan team. Kick off is 7 p.m.

Let us know how Noah Hodkinson plays.

Top prospect for wigan

Is he a centre? he was excellent v Saints.

Just read the game was abandoned after a bad injury to a Huddersfield player after 20 minutes.

Best wishes to the lad, hope whatever it is, that he’s ok.

Yes, a neck injury to the Huddersfield player as he went into make a tackle. Wigan were 16 - 0 up when the game was stopped.

He wears a skull cap. I think he played centre against saints. Has played half and full back also

He played fullback tonight, did well.
