Think Dixon had a bit more about him that Ashurst, but I wasn't too bothered when they left. There is far better at the club now.

Like I said, they're good players. But we're strong in the back row - we haven't really missed them and I don't think Saints will be regretting letting them go. Kyle Eastmond and James Graham, on the other hand ...

Personally I would have kept hold of Dixon. Was really coming along well. From what I have seen of him at Salford this season he has impressed me. One that got away in my book.

It s about what you gain or lose. Manu for Dixon. Flanagan for ashurst. In the end an improvement. You can't say Dixon for Perry. If we did not have Perry or lance it would not have saved Dixon or ashurst.

Personally I would have kept Dixon and not signed Manu but thats my opinion

Manu is a class player and there was more than enough room for both.

Manu replaced Flannery

Dixon was offered the same contract at Saints as he was at Salford but he decided he wanted more game time so backed himself by going to Salford, think its working out well for him .

I thought Dixon would have improved and took on the role similar to Gilmour ....but he didn,t. Thompson and Greenwood look as though they will have better impact and more consistency.

I do feel Flanners keeping Dixon out was a poor decision last season, we could have seen if Dicko was the real deal

Interestingly enough, Dixon got in the Opta Team of the Week on that Boots N All stats pack show.
