Hopefully with the season still 5 weeks away Holroyd and Hudson will be good with lisone there abouts if that's the case but yes prop options could hold us back this year.

You would hope Hudson fit for the start of the season. I know its probably minimal cap space however he's been out for a year and has only signed a one year deal so surely there must be a confidence in him being fit otherwise it looks a strange deal

If we suddenly have no props again, Kassiano on a short term loan ?

He's a liability and wheres the quota spot coming from?

Saints have signed Waqa Blake (centre). Is he any good? Better than Momirovski?

No

Blake was a very good player. Similar to but better than Macdonald when at his best - a big man with plenty of speed. The question will be what sort of form/fitness he can get to. So in that respect similar to Momirovski.

Thought it was a two year deal.Contracted until 2025 according to playing squad list.

Yes. No.

So I’m saying fairly confidently that we have finally turned the corner now after many years drifting.

Our first grade squad is good enough to be top half, possibly top 4 now. We have a load of young talent coming through (Gannon, Sinfield, Edgell, Smith, Lumb, Webster, Frater, McCormacks x2, Qareqare, Simpson, Cassel as well as Ruan, Warren, Hudson, Tom N-W etc.).

I reckon if we can tweak and shape consistently from here we’ll be alright. Hope this season proves me right and we’re tough to beat now.
