Speaking of Feka, will be interesting how he goes at Hull next year, has anyone seen him? Unbelievable difference since he was seen in SL last, he looks like an athletic second rower!

Masoe looks a different level than Feka to me - Saints have made a great buy there.

His performance against Australia was really impressive. Being able to make hard yards AND offload against their pack means he should be a real asset in Super League. I saw him against Wales and against Scotland earlier in the tournamant and was pleasantly surpirised. I thought he would be a second rower and I couldn't see him fitting in to our team, but he looks a real handful who I don't think dropped the ball once, even against the Aussies who paid the USA respect by playing properly at Wrexham. EP came out with reputation enhanced.

SW seems to like props who are mobile and not TOO big. EP fits in well with Taylor, Flower (who also had an excellent tournament even in a beaten team) and Dom Crosby. If these are fit and adding Gil Dudson I think Andy Powell might be spending a lot of time back in South Wales!

He looked ordinary yesterday I thought. He hardly touched the ball when he was on and had little influence on the game. He's played better then that in the tournament though and should do well for them.

How well he does do will depend on his attitude and fitness. If he stays at a similar level to now he'll do well in short bursts. If he thinks superleague is a bit of a holiday for him he could end up a poor piece of business by Saints as his weight will balloon but if he's here to work hard and Saints get him in better shape he could be a sensation.

It's going to be interesting viewing anyway.

EP is Waney's type of forward.
Lots of minutes on the field, vast meters made, few errors and a high tackle rate.
I do think he'll be in the first 17 most weeks.
Who goes out on loan will another matter, hints in today's trade press that we might be loaning players to London.
The Broncos could end up as Wigan "A" which could be a very good thing with most of our 34 man first team squad getting a Super League game each week.
As for EP, his performances for the USA have been impressive and we can all now see why IL & SW signed him.

I wouldn't like to tell Tony Clubb that he's going back out on loan, to London

I have a feeling it may be one of Wanes motivational speeches to him.

London will need players from somewhere if they're to continue so it would make sense. If you look at the lads they could potentially loan- Gelling, Manfredi, S Powell, Lloyd, Burke, Williams, A Powell etc they'll be getting some real quality.

I'd rather see them do that then fold, that's for sure!

Not a bad idea, we could send them the best part of an SL quality side just from our reserves and still not be too worried about injuries:

1. Tierney
2. Manfredi
3. Sarginson
4. Lloyd
5.
6. Williams
7.
8. Clubb
9. Tomkins
10. Greenwood
11. Hughes
12. Lever
13. Burke

14. A.Powell
15. Lauaki?
16.
17.

How many players are one club allowed to loan from another?

LOANS (TEMPORARY TRANSFERS) & DUAL REGISTERED LIMIT ON NUMBERS

C1:2:15

LOANS

No Club shall at any one time have more than five Players on loan (irrespective of which Club they are registered with). In addition, no Club shall enter into an agreement which would result in either it or any other Club being in breach of Operational Rule Section C1:2:15 (even if that would be at some time in the future).
