[quote="jonh":2lvuiz8a]Looks like we are doing business early again, in and out which is very positive. Focus needs to be on a secondrow for 2026. Faz and Isa are well past their prime. Jury still out on Walters. Outside of Nsemba couple of youngsters starting to kick on but we can cope with losing Byrne with what we have already at the club.[/quote:2lvuiz8a] Agree re priority must be on the secondrow and it must be someone with some good experience in terms of years and playing at a very good standard.

For me I think Faz has got 2 years left in him as a starter. Obviously not the player he was but still a work horse, fit as a fiddle and has the immeasurable asset of being our leader. Hoping for a massive year from Walters.

[quote="The Yellow Giraffe":3h1znmza]Not at all. I’m referring the person on the other forum who started the rumour. He/she will soon look silly.[/quote:3h1znmza] Fair enough, I apologise. Another person in the know is stating that Lees is going to Wire. I take it, by your comment, that you are confident Lees is extending his stay at Saints?
