1. Have been our top 4 most influential/performing players this season.
Jammer and Roby are the expected and obvious two. The unexpected players would include Lomax who started as utility, Gaskell who started as second team and added what a have heard is called a "kicking game" , LMS added such great running power to what was a weak front row the season before and Meli has had his best year in a Saints shirt at centre.

4. Meli
2. Have been our 3 most disappointing players this season.
Hard not to say injured players like Pryce, Wheeler, Perry are disappointing but that is not the question. I thought Wellens and Flannery were cr@p last season, so they did not surprise me with their lack of quality this year. It would have also been nice to see what Forster could have done if he had been fit enough as well as (yet again) Frodsham
1. Eastmond: The year that should have been his was ruined by some grade A money grabbing. He then proceeded to play half arsed which was reminiscent of Gary Connolly in his last season in the red V. On the other side of the coin maybe Kyle is just not physically up to Super League and a move to a less strenuous sport is a sensible and understandable decision.
2. Shenton: used poorly but showed he will get better, this has to be an improvement next year. There was enough to feel that he is still a great signing. More the coaches fault than the player I would say.
3=. Ashurst and Dixon: did not take a step up to give our squad genuine depth. They have both showed in the last few weeks that this could happen next year.
3. Our best top 2 young and up coming players for the next season.
Lomax and Gaskell have been amazing. Gaskell has to me been a bigger improvement that Lomax as Jonny has shown his class in previous years. Gaskell possessed a kicking game that has been missed for some time. His short passing near the line is nothing short of majestic.
