| Quote ="SFW"Chris Hill should have been playing SL 3 years ago, whether he could adjust to the top level of SL now though is another matter - I'd have taken a punt on him sooner with a view to bringing him in gradually but even now we could do a lot worse. I would say he's the most attainable of all the young British props out there for next season, apart from maybe Paul Johnson (assuming Wakey don't get a franchise) but despite his good performances this year he obviously wasn't rated highly enough in the first place.
I've resigned myself to Graham leaving, surely he would have signed by now? As a result we must keep TP - Perry, Puletua, LMS, Clough and another prop plus a youngster knocking on the door is a minimum requirement IMO. Pryce will be off too, anyone would miss a player of his calibre but I think Hohaia's signing speaks volumes and it's hard to justify giving him another big contract when the team is playing extremely well without him.
We don't have a single player in the back row contracted beyond 2012 and this is somewhere I would like to see us pick up a top line player in the next 12-18 months. I'd say Flannery is the best of our lot so far this season but is he worth the quota place? Hopefully Sia can get a good run of games together and really kick on, he looks to be the only one with a real physical presence on our edge and it's something we need more of. The young home-grown back-rowers, well none of them are really standing out whilst not being poor and we need more from them going forward - Wigan have a boat-load of young forwards who look much better than ours it has to be said. A big 12-18 months for all of them.
That leaves Gardner and Frodsham up in 2011 and I'd be very surprised if either are regular players in our team this time next year.'"
Hands off he`s ours now!  . Seriously though he`s been outstanding for us so far , his work rate in both attack and defence is class. Suprised you let him go. |

Trent Waterhouse would be a great signing to replace TP. As for Frank Puletua, no thanks!

He hasn't played any where "regulary" for years. I doubt he is even listed in Penrith's squad for this season. |

Also heard of Matt King from Warrington but doesn't appear to have much substance.
Saints are working on one more forward and the ever elusive outside back for next year, a current SOO outside back is a possibility although I have not heard any names as of yet. Plus I thought we was full on Non-Fed Trained, however the system is so complicated about who counts and who doesn't then we may not be full.

Im a bit surprised by Warrington letting Riley go out on loan news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 529188.stm ( ok its only 1 month but what message does that send to him ? ) Would it be worth looking into IF he is surplus to requirements at Wire ? |

No, not at all. Riley is the typical Super League youth product, solid and reliable but ultimately limited. I did think he might have kicked on after the wondertry he scored at Odsal but he hasn't. Looks to be well down the pecking order at the Wire and I am sure we could promote an academy player of similar ability levels if we needed to. |

I wouldn't personally go for Riley, his career seems to be panning out as a carbon copy of Kevin Penny's.

Much better all round player than Penny, imo. Shouldn't have any trouble completing a 10 year SL career with some club. |

I definitely agree he's a much better player, it's just his career path seems very similar. I'd imagine he'll and up at the likes of Quins, Salford or Wakefield long term. Should they stay in SL of course. |

I wouldn't particulary take him over Ade (whom I expect to be on his way out of saints reasonably soon). He's more pacey, I suppose, but no star. |

Agreed, I hope the two more signings we're reportedly working on are of a really good calibre. Especially the back. |

The Chris Hill one seems to have legs, in my mind. I know its been implied that Lafranchi is going to play prop to replace Graham, but I'm kind of thinking Royce always starts a prop at 13, so he, along with TP fill this role, so we'd have -
8. Perry
10. Hill
13. Puletua
14. LMS
15. Laffranchi
or such like.
I really don't know what interesting english backs are available if we've got another signing lined up. |

Karl Pryce and Gareth Carvell were the players we were looking at.
