With respect to all concerned, our needs are not the same as Saints and, let's be honest, any player on Saints radar is unlikely to sign for us, so for Ferres to pretend we're in the same market and compare our situation with them is a little bit disingenuous, imo. There must he halves who are not good enough for Saint Helens who would nevertheless do a great job for us. It may be true that they are also not available of course...
Saints have been finding it hard to find players who would qualify for a work permit. This makes our job even harder because any players we try to sign will be even less likely to meet the criteria the UK border agency are enforcing even more this year.
