Another good win today for the lads, beating the Central Coast. Next game is Cronulla at the weekend.

Percival and Swift scoring again!

Andre Savelio MOM

How far is Savelio off playing first team? I take it he's the guy who has a look of Jarryd Hayne about him? He looks a foot taller than the Saints coaches already.

I watched him playing against Wigan at Ince and he looks a big unit but tired to quickly for me?
Suppose fittness can always get better? Yes he is massive for his age?

He could have won that game for Saints (undeservedly ) but for a great chase and tackle from the Wigan winger Joe Burgess.

It's always difficult at that age because some of those players are so much bigger than their opponents, but in a few years don't grow much more and then find the game a bit more difficult.

Ben Kavanagh was a prime example.

Savelio is certainly a big athletic lad, and it'll be interesting to watch his progress.

You think Savelio looks big? You look at Luke Thompson and Greg Richards who are both the same age. Absolute animals.

Greg Richards a Cumbrian from Barriw who's been selected to represent England.
