on a serious note, it will be interesting to see who Saints sign this off season
they've lost Makinson, Dodd and not renewed Matautia and Blake (god i bet the saints fans are glad he's gone - one of their worst ever signings i'd say), plus a couple of fringe/ squad lads gone
so i think they still have some quota space free, to bring in an overseas star or 2? but must also be looking at the props as Walmsley isnt getting any younger, and need a bit more depth there.
Their backline may look very different come the start of the season with the 2 Ozzies already signed Sailor / Feldt, so could that see Welsby playing 6 with Lomax, and Sailor at FB. Feldt to replace Makinson. So for me still weak on the other wing with Bennison / Ritson, plus another centre unless they stick with Hurrell for another season
Lewis Murphy has been signed for the other wing. If he stays injury free he'll go well.
We are in desparate need for a centre and I agree with you, we need at least 1 if not 2 props. Its going to be interesting to see if we do sign a centre. Last season we only signed Blake in the January which apart from him being god awful also meant he missed most of pre-season and arrived unfit.
I'm at least happy with the two Assistants. Its a proper shake up with them having no affiliation to the club (Briers obviously played as a kid but that was a long time ago)
It seems that O Carroll is highly rated as a coach so it does seem as though we are willing to embrace new ideas next season.
