Walmesley til the end of 2018

Great news

Swift was the player I was on about in the rumours thread few weeks back.

Oi cheeky.

Always good news when we sign up young English players. Where is Swift going to play long term? Are we convinced by him as a winger? Not that he doesn't play well there, but he doesn't look a natural winger. Could he not be our missing 6? Centre maybe when he's a bit older?

I would have potentially waited a while on Walmsley to see how he started this season. He went on a rapid rise last season, growing very quickly into a tremendous player, but then crashed a little towards the end as he suffered physically.

He was carrying an injury at the back end of the year that progressively got worse and eventually meant he missed the world cup, no negative to this deal at all, bordering bonkers to suggest there is

And Swift himself says he isn't a 6, how many times has that been discussed? He could easily play 1 too but nothing wrong with flexibility, stop trying to find a problem where there isnt one

Its looking good for Saints I must say.
Cant wait to see them getting stuck in this year.
We have some excellent young talent now and getting them signed up long term is great.

COME ON SAINTS

If you actually read what I put you would see there is no negativity anywhere in it at all. It's your insecure paranoia causing you to believe there is

Sorry could not help myself.

Great news for the club, both potentially brilliant players.

What makes it even better is that on the day we sign up two of the best young British players in the game to 4 and 5 year deals, Wigan sign a fat 33 year old Salford reject. Fantastic.

Jordan James is a very strange signing for the pies!

On paper their front row looks very very poor but I expect them to be very competitive. Wane seems to get something out of players that are pretty average.

Look at the player he's turned Flower into. Don't under estimate those buggers.

That's my point, I'm not under estimating them.
