Are you not expecting to sign anyone then? does that mean Ian Thornley, Josh Vievers, Ben Davies, Liam Farrell, Chris Tuson and Joe Mellor will get a chance next season ala Sam Tomkins and Mark Flanagan?

Bit of a risk if thats what your doing but can see why McGuire was chosen as its like what Melbourne did.

There's a possibility of other signings, Josh and Ben are possibly going out on loan to Wakefield. I'm pretty sure both Ian Thornley and Joe Mellor still qualify for the 18's so I don't think they're ready yet. Liam Farrell's a possibility though of seeing next season.

Afraid not. I will be very shocked if we do.

I think Josh Vievers and Ben Davies are going on loan to Wakefield.

Ian Thornley might get a chance but he still only 17. Same applies to Joe Mellor.

Expect to see the introduction of Liam Farrell and more from Lee Mossop, Sean Ainscough and co!

Lav' it when saints lose gutted we wernt there, they have done better than us.

Had to laugh laste night, in Walkabout in town, the bloke behind us was cheering for stains then eastmond scored the first try, he was giving it some, then turned around when eastmond lined the kick up and said bloody hell he's taking the kick aswell, quality fan ,

You know something? I really don't care who won the reserves grand final! We won the academy grand final last year, seven of those players were signed up to our first team and played in the defeated reserves grand final this year. It means precisely nothing to win one of these grand finals but if you have to cling on to something then go ahead. I shall be waiting with baited breath to see which of your stars breaks through into the first team with success and which are let go due to the change in rules. Hopefully there will be enough good players stepping up for Wigan to stop signing Aussies all over the spot. However, if you're expecting a cohort of Sam Tomkins then you will be disappointed. It just doesn't work that way, regardless of whether they win reserves grand finals or not.

btw: obviously you were the better side on the day. You won convincingly!

no mate, he did't have a clue about the game or the saints team overall, imo it was as though it was the first time he had ever seen a game .

Ah, I see.

I was sat next to some saints fans at the grand final and we had some good banter and a good chat and then as we got to the game they kept asking me what was going on

They also said it was their first game of the season so I asked if they lived far from St Helens and they live round the corner from the GPW

Shocking.

Careful, you've nearly lost them. RL only started 14yrs ago.
