Very good player, but we do have two highly promising scrum halves.

A lot of Clubs have 3or 4 ,this lad is pure class,and kept Matty Smith out of the Saints team.

Hi Ian.

We possibly aren't in a position to have luxuries like that at the moment. (we could do with a winger for instance) Don't get me wrong, he's a class act, and it would be wonderful to watch him, but how would it impact on Woods and Russell? I know 'needs must' for us this season, but I would hate there to be any damage to our team spirit - which is arguably our best asset at the moment.

Not a fan of DR but understand that it has been necessary this season for obvious reasons. A player such as Richardson can be the difference between winning and losing a game and therefore we should snatch the hand off saints if he is available. It would be for the short term and for that reason, should not affect team spirit if handled correctly and I have every confidence in Duffs to do just that.

If Richardson is offered it would be absolutely stupid to say “No thanks, we don’t need him.”

Don't suppose they can spare Makinson for a couple of weeks, if Pownall is banned?

Woods or Ridyard to miss out this week i feel . Russell may figure to but woods was poor last week imo .

Well if he comes in it means one drops out does it not - with the current Saints players primarily being forwards, which is what we need IMO

It would mean two dropping out would it not?

Higham to miss out possibly? Half on the bench

I agree with the Ref's decision, he was in the SL dream team, not much difference in the halves and hookers these days, shuffle the pack and make room for him.

Danny Richardson was training with Leigh last night.

The loan deal could be longer than the initial agreed period if it works out for both parties.
