Players for 2018 : Sat May 20, 2017 7:29 pm  

There are a few players OOC this season.

Jonny Lomax - Apparently not been offered a new deal by Saints in order to sign Ben Barba. We have a good record getting players fit and can play in halves. Excellent when fit.

Tony Gigot - Apparently wants to move to England. Can play Stand Off and Full Back.

Richie Myler - Girlfriend has just given birth and apparently wants to move home. Improved all round game since joining Catalans in my opinion.

Niall Evalds - Young, lives in Huddersfield and can play Stand Off, Full Back and Wing.

Would you take any of these?

A lot of fullbacks in there....

I'd take any of them. I think Myler is an older Brierley with a better all round game. Lomax on his day is class but fitness is a problem. Gigot is a massive talent solid across the back line. Evalds would be a good back up player.

In my opinion we need a left centre, a half and a nasty prop..... Still our errors, penalties and composure letting us down. More than anything we need to sign players with a winning mentality.

Tomorrows game is enormous, for me it's our last chance of scraping into the 8. Lose and it's too much of an ask to make up the deficit

None of them. Three of them are fullbacks and we are fine in this area. Myler is a good supporting half back but not an organiser which is what we need to prioritise as a successor to Danny Brough.

Apparently a player for 2018 has already been signed up... Hopefully last season has taught the club many lessons and they can use their mistakes as lessons and build the club back up
