Been here 3 years hasn't he? Can't even get in the salford team

Yes because the current Cronulla head coach was going to step down and come to us as assistant

Just to be clear I’d much prefer we used the quota spot elsewhere but for perspective we will finish the season rock bottom as the worst team in the competition and Cust is obviously a decent SL level player. I don’t know the ins and outs of budgets and who we targeted before him but maybe someone who can’t get in the Salford team is just our level now. It’s a shame we couldn’t get him in for whatever for the end of the season.

I say decent player because he seemed to play pretty regularly in a good Wigan team, and I’m sure he played a fair bit at hooker for them in the run in last season. Also he played nearly 30 NRL games by the age of 22 with a decent try scoring ratio, most of which while Cartwright was his assistant coach at Manly. That’s better than many players who have ended up doing well in SL. I think it’s the coaches recommendation and It’s not exactly blinkered to think he might even still have a bit of improvement at 25.

Lewis Murphy signed for Saints from next season. He could go one of 2 ways, constantly injured or make a really great winger

Think it's a really good signing, was saying a while back we should make him an offer, although if Barron and Martin can continue their development, then I'm happy with our wingers fir next year.

saints have clearly identified a need for pace and added it in sailor and murphy

Only one can be an Aussie on all coaching staff, Delaney must have a UK passport now.

Ritson has supposedly got speed so the sky commentators keep reminding us….he hasn’t got a try this season and is a championship player only

Gutted we missed out on Sailor and the speed he’d have brought to the side. Still people moaned when we were in talks that ‘we don’t need another fullback’ shows how hard it would be nowadays to make a signing that would please everyone. Murphy just looked like a natural try scorer Saints will be back with a bang next season.

I think Ritsons days are numbered at Saints , Hasn't kick on and only gets in to the side to cover injuries .

Would definitely be looking at George Hirst at Oldham - young, big back rower. He will be a SL player IMO, and still think we need a big body or 2 in the pack.

Luis Roberts a centre is OOC at Leeds?

He's bab

To be honest whilst he may have some pace, his overall skill levels suggest he is still pretty much a Championship standard player, as you say he just hasn't kicked on. Think St's possibly rushed in to signing him on the back of Grace going to union, when a couple of clubs showed some interest including ourselves.
