the knives are already out for Fitzy on twitter over this
"why hasn't this been sorted, why have we allowed it to get last 12 months"
I'm gonna guess Covid has knackered revenue, the reduction in Sky money this year, and the uncertainty of a TV deal going forward probably played a big part, that may be why we've got so many players coming off contract this year, we may have had one eye on this .

It's surprising that saints are in for him at all, considering how we keep getting told how they have an academy and bring players through, like lomax, makinson, roby(2004) bentley, walmsley and regan grace.

I more meant that Gildart has been on the radar rather longer, I haven’t bothered looking up their ages!

As I said elsewhere, they have the best players in every position.

Controversial opinion, but he's better than Bateman. Nearly 70 tackles in the Grand Final last year with two broken ribs. Played the full 80 and yet he was the only one chasing the ball at the end other than Welsby. He gets in every starting 13 in Super League. I'm amazed the NRL clubs weren't circling for him. His injury has come at a bad time for him as I think he'd have had a long list of offers and a nice pay rise coming his way and a World Cup spot.

How come he hasn’t signed a new deal at Saints yet or has he?

I've no idea. I think in 2020 Saints wanted to give him 4 years, but he wouldn't accept anything longer than 1, hence his contract being up at the end of the season. I think it's common now for younger players to accept short term deals so they're more attractive options for NRL clubs. The same has just happened with Regan Grace, signed a 1 year deal when Saints were begging him to take a longer one. The NRL cap is now at a level where the average NRL salary is three times the average for SL.

Almost all fair points but does he offer anything creative to the team?
