I do feel Flanners keeping Dixon out was a poor decision last season, we could have seen if Dicko was the real deal

Dixon was on his way out and got a lot of game time. I would have rather Saints played a young lad who was staying like Greenwood last year.

Young players have a small window to impress until the next batch come in, if you persist with Dixon then Thompson staying in the academy until he is 20.

I quite liked both of them, but neither will turn into top class players and neither will really come back to bite us on the bum.

Ahsurst is not good enough and I've not given him a moments thought since he left.

I thought Dixon did enough in his last season to earn a new deal. He's playing well at Salford but I've lost no sleep over him not being here.

On the subject of Salford, it seems they have been very busy behind the scenes and will have some new faces next season.

Hock's reportedly turning his back on the Eels to sign for Salford.

Correct

What with this Hock rumour and the talk of Briscoe not going to Cronulla, I can only assume that there are new salary cap rules in place for next season - a marquee player allowance, perhaps.
