I am delighted that both he and Smith are staying. Hopefully this will strengthen the England set up and encourage more young players to rebuff the Aussie dollar. The domestic game will only get stronger if we can hang on to our developing stars. And I think that the myth that going to the NRL makes the England team stronger has been busted a few times in recent years.
And as a Wigan fan I think it’s fair to say that the Saints will be fine in 2024. They are a very well run club.
