Omari Caro to St Helens? : Fri Jun 22, 2012 2:53 pm  

Just heard that Caro is likely the next Saints signing. He's been okay in the couple of games I've seen him in, just a little green, but I think this is probably a good move for a young player, surrounded by more seasoned SL players and coaches he may well thrive.

Any thoughts on what we've seen so far? I think he's been in the U20s more so has anyone seen him play those matches?

I really hope there's nothing in this rumour, I think he's got plenty of potential, maybe a better London coach could turn him into a good quality SL player.

I am somewhat amazed, he seems to have no killer instinct that the best wingers have. Still maybe be better eyes than mine may have seen something, Dixon is the better prospect! At least it will free up a place for someone else.

Hope we don't loose any of our young players. They are the way forward for the club.

Saints would have to buy him for a fee I believe

The cost of the Youth squads is not cheap. I would hardly think Saints will give us much for him and it wont cover the cost of developing all these kids. Most dont make it and if we lose the ones that look like they have the potential we will not move forward. We can't persuade Northern players to move South and we are being restricted each season on the players who can come on quota. If we want quality players to compete this is where we have to find them.
Having said that i think he is far from the finished article but has the physique and pace to make something of himself.

Fully agree. Caro is weak and lacks confidence.

This rumour came to surface 2 weeks ago and I still find it hilarious.

If (Big if) this is true then Offiah is clearly the best agent in the world.
