We want a replacement for Meli and thats why we've inquired about Richard Owen. Saints dont see any of the youngsters at Saints as naturall wingers.

Foster, Armstrong and Lomax are not wingers.

And Owen is a fullback who can play on the wing so I imagine we would be looking to groom him as Wello's replacement .....

Owen is .. 19/20? Of course he's not up to our standards yet, he hasn't fully developed his game

He's also got a badly broken leg that he hasn't proved has healed properly.

I think there'll be a couple of clubs after him. Good player with his best years ahead.
If we also sign Perry, then Hargreaves would be down to 6th choice prop (including Tony P and)? I think he'd be moving on if that were the case.

I think he gets hyped up a bit because he's from London, personally I think he's a good, but not great player, similar to Cloughy. They have very familiar stats as well, but it is possible that he would do better in a better performing team LMS v Clough http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2010

Cloughy's hard yards are impressive in support of our front row, but if he was asked to play prop full time at this stage of his development, I think he'd start to struggle. LMS is a full time prop. I'm sure if we had them both, then in 5 years time they'd be a cracking pair of props. I don't like quoting stats, but for props its a decent illustration. Here he is against Bryn. I must say, although promising, his high tackle count is a concern.
