Exactly that. He would start every week in our backline but not for Wigan and we have loads of cap to play with. Dodd and Makinson have been replaced with Sailor and Feldt but that should still leave Blake, Hurrell and Matautia leaving with probably at least one or two of Bennison, Royle, Ritson and Davies

That said and judging by how highly rated he is I'm sure he will sign a new deal at Wigan.

I do believe we will have made enquiries though.

Eckerlsey is not ready to start every week IMO.

He missed a few tackles against Hull and I’ve yet to see classic centre play from him yet.

He’s in the perfect position of being 3rd choice winger/centre/full back so will see plenty of game time.

He should continue in that role for the next season at least.

Agree, although I'd be surprised if game time comes into it to be honest. He should know that he'll get plenty of that. It's not so often that you have a fully fit 1-7, and I think that's the only situation where Eckersley doesn't play. Maybe if we're a half short Farrimond gets the nod now, but we're just as likely to play Zach and move Keighran. And that's just where we are now, in 12 months it's very possible that he'll have taken either Keighran's or even Miski's shirt.

But financially he's definitely at the point where he shouldn't have to sell himself short, and like you say Saints have got plenty of cash to play around with.

He is under contract mate.

Extension announced for Douglas. Really glad about this as he's a great prospect who I think will be pushing for a starting spot in the next year or two.

'NRL veteran' Kyle Feldt to Saints, then? Another short-term move, going for a 32 year old?

Risk of injury obviously increases for any player approaching mid 30s but looks to be a great finisher.

Shame he'll never get a pass

[list=[/listBut great at bringing the ball off his own line.......

be 33 at the start of next year too

He’s still a cracking player.

Good injury and try scoring record.

Great finisher close to the line come up with some freakish finishes, will strengthen them even if they are losing TM.

Hang on. A few days ago we were “in talks to sign him” and now it’s “I do believe we made enquiries”. Just give up this persona like you have sources. You don’t. You are just trying to look cool and it’s embarassing!

There's literally no one on here more embarrassing than you (you can't even spell it correctly) you are a grown man regularly changing usernames and randomly arguing with strangers. You're an absolute whopper who should've been banned long ago

But back to the point, when did I say we were in talks to sign him? I literally repeated a rumour that apparently his brother had said Wigan were struggling to fit him under the SC and we were interested.

Will we see Bevan in the squad tomorrow?

Wouldn’t be opposed to him playing instead of Forber on the bench.

Not sure if he's got any inside knowledge but the bloke from Wigan (but lives in France) who posts as Catalans media on X is hinting French has travelled with the squad (he said they were flying over today).

Harry Smith said they're travelling on Friday at the Hull game. He isn't going though so he could be wrong

Guess he's got no inside knowledge then



Hopefully he's right on the main part and just has his days mixed up.

Not sure if it’s already been discussed but I’ve seen a rumour on twitter that we’re looking at Zac Fulton from Bradford (well, from Sydney originally). Could be a straight swap for Isa considering he’s likely a quota spot? https://x.com/thegamecaller/status/1829 ... 42525?s=46 (Also ignoring that the poster is a bit of a clown, he’s usually well informed on Bradford info)

I do think we need some competition in that second row and even if a lad like that pushed the likes of Walters and Nsemba on, you're gaining from bringing him in.

You’re extremely wide of the mark here. Stu speaks to a couple of people who will know what’s going on and we’ve passed each other bits of stuff over the years that have all turned out to be true.

I can 100% vouch for his source and what he’s said about Saints bringing a NRL centre over with Briers.

I was browsing Facebook the other day and came across an article saying we are linked with an NRL player as well as an addition to the coaching staff with years of experience. I then lost the article so have no clue whether I’d read an old article, anyone heard anything?

Not a rumour or shock really but puts to bed the speculation, Rocky leaving at the end of the year as confirmed by his agent.

Right move for both club and player. Frees up some cap and with developing Farrimond very little scope for him to get game time moving forward.

I was channel surfing today on the dodgy box and it was a New Zealand channel that was covering NRL and Phil Gould was discussing how much he rates Nsemba. So he’s obviously on their radar. He’s the type of player we need to keep in SL
