nothing in that you wouldnt expect to hear, and true we do have a great 17, but after that we're relying on our kids

Well, no. We do have some great players but not the whole 17! Some of 'the kids' put the first teamers to shame IMO.

He's correct, we swill struggle this season.

Re: Long - Saints might strugle. : Sun Jan 24, 2010 1:30 pm  

He never said we will struggle, he said we might. It's true we might. But looking at some of these youngsters coming through I don't think we will struggle. We'll finish in the top four and I think this team will only get stronger as the season goes on. Hull will run out of steam, they're too old.

Saints should be starting to come together by the time the play offs start. But being realistic I think 2011 will see a new era for for Saints and another 10 years of being the team to beat.

Trouble is for many short sighted fans, finishing 3rd or 4th will mean a disaster.

Last season with the worst injury crisis i can remember we finished 2nd. Those same kids who did so well are a year older with alot more experience. We've lost a non existant Cayless and gained a workhorse in Fozz. We've actually got 2 centres this year. I am very positive about our chances this year, and why not?

finishing top 4 would be great for us this season. This is the year for the youngsters to make their mark. Leeds, wigan, warrington and hull all look strong. This is a transistional period for saints. New half back, 'new' hooker, new centre. Hopefully we'll get better as the season goes on then next year kick on with the 'youngsters' having gained all the experience this term. Next year new stadium, new era, new saints! C.O.Y.S

Why did we move Gilmour from centre last year?

I thought he started well at centre, hopefully Soliola will be the man
