Sav needs game time to get his fitness up to scratch.

Absolutely, should get around 5 games from him this year, 15ish for next year before becoming more regular in 2 years. Having Manu to help the kid and using Manu slightly more sparingly to allow more game time to Savelio would work out for all imo before Manu moves on/ retires and Savelios ready to step up

I think Saveilo is a super league now but he just can't do enough mins and the only way to get him up to fitness is to play him.

He's been a little off colour in the 19s, I think he's finding hard to get up for those games.

Won mom today according to twitter for the 19s vs the wiganers

As with Thompson, he's ready, but having an older player to win the shirt off will make him a better player in the long run - have Manu in the squad next year, tell Savelio to win his shirt off him, and if he does, we won't need a replacement for Manu the year after as well have a ready made one!
