Interesting to see that none of the selected Saints players are from St Helens.

And the Warrington players aren't from Warrington

Isn't golbourne part of warrington officially?

I'm surprised Connor Farrell has made the squad. Standout player that I have seen is Stevie Ward from Leeds, certainly one to keep an eye out for.

It might be, I don't know. But its Wigan in my eyes!

And how come Andre Savelio isn't in, thought he was a monster?

I'm guessing that he is in the younger group. I would certainly have had Ryan Hampshire from Wigan in there, but he too is younger than most of those selected although overplayed Yates in the recent U18 game at Orrell.

He is a monster and very highly thought of at saints.
