Have you watched him play/defend ?

Could go better with a familiar coach in Woolf but I’m sure Saints will have got him on the cheap as cover. Hopoate and Percival will be starting.

weve signed a centre whos worse in defence

The rumour is he's been offered to other clubs due to concerns over his attitude.

Peet has stressed why he’s trying to get good people into the club. So this was a non starter.

There are ways and means I suppose but they must be pushing the cap very hard.

They have to start favourites next year and after investing so heavily there will be a lot of pressure on the players and coach to deliver.

Never mind, he’s there this week. Hopefully he stays and we see the best of him.

I don’t know him at all but I find this attitude thing so strange. If you listen to his episode on Hastings “behind the athlete” podcast, he comes across as somebody so motivated, hard working and down to earth.

He talks about driving 1 hour 30 each way every day to train when he wasn’t getting paid. Think he also mentions something about getting offered more money by Leeds at the last minute but he wanted to honour Wigan etc.

Good listen.

You can get 11/2 on Bet365 if you fancy them (can get same price for Wigan). Joint third favourites behind Saints 15/8 and Warrington 7/2.
