Saints tend to have a policy of never go back. Also we are rumoured to have to signed Waqa Blake to play on the wing next year, and Ritson is going to be a backup.

Two running halfs with Westerman on a years contract that might work

Good luck against Jordan Abdul if you have signed Blake, bombs are his weakness, but he is a good runner of the ball and can cover centre too. Surprises me that no other NRL team would want him, bit like Opacic, playing regular first grade for Parra - even in the finals, then ends up going to Poorhouse Lane.

Wakeham isn't much of anything, at Wests and I hope we'd not blow our beans for his signature, better to go with Morgan Smith if Wakeham's all that is left. Just my opinion, having seen him a lot over the last two seasons. Turpin, as hooker would certainly add some defensive steel, although he isn't the biggest threat with ball in hand, he does have that aggression we have lacked at times, but I thought he was nailed on for Canterbury, although it is NRL merry go round time for those players not playing finals rugby..

Exactly. The half back signing is key, lets just hope we get lucky like we did with Clifford.

It doesn't look like a top six squad as it stands but hopefully a team that will put the effort in every week and as we've seen with teams like Salford and Leigh over the last couple of seasons that can often be the answer.

What Academy products do we think will feature next season?

Looks like we're about to announce Walker

Now confirmed as a 2 year deal

Is Oli Pratt the centre that John Davidson is linking us to? Behind a paywall and I'm tight.

the two running halfs i meant Sailor and Hoy but for that to work we need someone like Westerman at 13
We are very limited at 13 and if Westerman was available would be a good move for the club on a 1 year deal

He'd probably want a two year deal .
