Solid back up centre on a minimum wage, its a fine bit of business. If they were lining him up for a starting berth next year I'd be worried, but he's a decent go to when you need a man rather than a boy and will come in handy when Jones leaves.

Totally agree!!

He's a good lad, Dawson. Same with Flanagan. You can't have a squad of superstars with a salary cap....Does my head in when people slag them off and want the club to offload them, why???? They've got a brilliant attitude, they feel privileged to play for a team like Saints (thus putting 100% in on every opportunity) and they don't cost much. It's a squad game. Every team suffers with lots of injuries cos it's a tough game, so the quality of your squad matters massively. So keeping these lads signed up is great business.

Shame Jones had to go, but the deal is a no brainer if the stuff on here has been quoted correctly.

I'd be more concerned about players like Jones leaving to Union than I would be about superstars, if it happened on a regular basis.

I think jones Is a big loss. He fills both centre and Backrow very well. I hope we actully repłace him. In fact I hope we repłace all the players going out or the squad will lack quality depth player like the pre Brown times when we filled the team with to many youth players that just wasn't good enough.
