I'd say loose now. Probably end up as prop if he continues to get bigger, but could play anywhere in the pack.

i don,t think the club really knows, he can,t do really long minutes what might be required at loose forward, we,ve been using him as prop behind Amor, Walmsley, Richards and Mose, prior to injuries second row was Vea, Greenwood and Thompson. He,s not really nailed down a position for himself and has been used sparingly.
A really fit Sav playing a bit smarter probably loose forward, trouble is he seems to be a bit laid back and needed to be more dynamic and energetic.

| The big problem Savelio is going to have to contend with is weight. The kid has one hell of a physique and the sky is the limit if he treats his body like any other professional sportsman.
Unfortunately that frame could very easily turn against him should he fail to manage his diet. In many ways he reminds me of David Solomona. A bit bigger. Not as quick. Similar hands.
I mean, Solomona was still a good player. But he could have been so much more had he managed his weight professionally.

| Similar hands to Solomona? Not sure I agree with that, that guy was a magician with the ball. To me, Savelio reminds me of a more mobile version of Kylie Leuluai.
Your point about his weight is valid, but I think your advice would be more appropriate for Greg Richards, the kid is becoming a pudding.
I also think Walsh and Burns seem to be developing a belly surplus.

Savelio is capable of much more with his hands. He's dialed his ball handling back significantly since moving up. Once he gets himself established I'm sure he'll start to cut loose.

Richards is a squad player who will be quickly replaced by the cohort below him if his performances aren't up to scratch. His future is in his own hands. I'm certainly not concerned about him. Walsh hasn't had any kind of pre-season to speak of so it's hardly surprising he's out of shape. The guy's lucky still to be playing after that injury. As for Burns, he's always been a tubby little bugger. Even back in the NRL.

I don't know enough about Sandow to comment.
I still, as a young prop forward, wouldn't be leaving Saints for Wire unless there was a substantial pay increase.'"
Monas is staying from what I'm led to believe.

He'll probably end up playing half under the shambolic management that is Warrington.
Saints will move on and continue to win. Warrington don't know where their next championship is coming from. If the guy wants to forfeit what's good for his development in place of the cheap dollar, then on yer bike pal. Enjoy the RL wilderness.'"
What nonsense. You are awae that Warrington have been more successful than St Helens in the last six years.

We're throwing out arbitrary time periods to suit our own agenda? Oo goodie, Saints have been more successful than warrington in the last 3 weeks. As equally valid and meaningful as your statement.

No not at all. STS called Warrington 'Cheshire mediocrity' when, in fact we've won more than you in recent years.
X3 Challenge Cups, X1 League Leaders, 2 Grand Final appearances is pretty good going from 2009 I think. Certainly not 'mediocrity'.

You can't list a GF appearance as a trophy. Warrington are the RL version of Arsenal. You'll become relevant when you win the GF.

Whilst I agree with Saddened on GF appearances, our "worst" run in living memory, is 1 trophy (if we could gf appearances as a trophy) behind your "best" run in everyone's memory ... Not really a lot to crow about... but again, we might as well be comparing the last 3 weeks for all this matters...

| Haha, talk about using an argument to suit your own agenda.
Warrington haven't won a trophy for 2 seasons whilst we've won a Grand Final and LLS since.
We are also 2nd in the league, whilst Warrington are 6th, which is mediocre.

| The difference between Warrington and Saints is very simple.
At Saints a BAD season is a Grand Final defeat.
At Warrington a GOOD season is a Grand Final defeat.

The point is that in the time that Savelio has been at Saints Warrington have been the more successful of the two teams, both at first team and academy level. That is fact.
IF Sevelio signs for Wire then Saints will receive a fee for him even though he is out of contract. I did ask someone who would normally be in the know at the Wigan v Leeds academy on Saturday and he said that he hadn't heard anything about the Sevalio to Wire rumour.

| Haha, Grand Final appearances are now an achievement to be listed. In that case, our barren spell between 2007 and 2013 included five GF appearances. Our worst two years were 2012 and 2013, where again we were 40 minutes from another GF and a drop goal away from another semi final. This is considered Saints' worst spell in years. Worst.
Warrington would be over the moon to come anywhere near a six year period like it. Saints in 2014 won more championships than Warrington have in nearly 60 years. You don't get much more of a wilderness than more than half a century without a league title.
Even forgetting that, you'd have to be potty to leave the present champions, semi finalists and 2nd in the table again for a club currently lying 6th. Potty.

Also we can add:
When Warringon hammer us it could be between 20 to 30 points
When Saints hammer Warrington it could be between 40 to 80 points.

| You can't take a club serious who haven't been champions since 1955.
If RL only began in 2009 then Dire may look a big club. And even then we've been champions more times than them in that period!!

| We beat you 78-3 in the era of 3 point tries...somewhere around world war one so ner ner and that equates to a bigger victory than 80. Agreed our mentality needs to change and become more like saints. I'm never happy with our fans settling for gf or semi final defeats in our current position. One grand final win and hopefully this will change. I remember a season mid 90s when we dubbed you four times in one season and it wasn't long after that you rose up. Had the salary cap not coincided with our new dosh then I'm sure we'd have one or two champs with more to come but it never falls right for us.

| Also add how many years we went unbeaten against them pre-Langtree Park, it was getting to embarrassing levels how many times we looked in a losing position only to pull it out of the bag at the death with goodness knows how many minutes or seconds left in the game.

Saints honours in the Super League era:

Warrington's honours in the Super League era:
0 SL titles, 0 WCCs, 3 CCs, 1 LLS.
Yes, for a change.
