Maybe, but if everyone is fit, you have the likes of Scott, Mitch, Walker, Litten, McNamara, Barton, Hookem, Ferria, Mitch, Hookem, Burrell, Fash, Brown, Severs, Staverley, Cator and Balmforth outside the 17 (plus a couple of others coming through).

That's how Saints do it, IMO Bowden, Shaul and Johnstone will all be on decent money and think there place in the squad is easily replaced by youth players.

Our academy is also unbeaten this season, finally seeing some progress with youth players coming through.

I don't know his contract situation but I've always liked Tom Davies and think he would be a good replacement for McIntosh.
Catalans have 3 good wingers who are all good enough for SL and will be expecting first team games. They may be prepared to let one go, or Davies may be looking to leave if he's not getting in the first team when Yaha is fit again

Think Davies is contracted until 24, but you're right 3 doesn't go into 2.

He won't be the most glamorous signing bur Lee Kershaw at wakey is OOC. Always looked good when I've seen him

Lussick was great at Salford but hasn't been anything special at Saints. Saints fans don't have a high opinion of him from what I've read. Mind you they have very high standards in that position!

Clark looked like he was going to be world class when he was younger but has never really fulfilled his potential.

I think we will need a hooker next season as I'm sure Houghton will retire and Lovodua will not be retained. Question mark about Dwyer as well.

Davies is better than yaha

But yaha would still be a upgrade on mcintosh 100%

Agree , If all their wingers are fit , Then Yaha misses out . That said , Johnson will probably miss some part of the season .
