For whatever reason when I heard Fages wasn’t on the bench I felt happier. Whatever his strengths/weaknesses he brings energy and potentially an element of panic in the opposition.

By all accounts he's handed in a transfer request and won't be at Saints next season.

Out of curiosity for the Saints try, at what point would it have to have been different to successfully argue that Ratchford was tackled without the ball?

Is that why he wasn’t picked,or was the transfer request after? Genuinely think it was a very important call not to pick him, but I was glad he didn’t!

He's far better than that cocky average so and so who plays half back

Since we missed out on Hastings, is Fages worth a punt? Might be the partner we need for Austin - and Brown won’t get as much game time with his head injury record I’m sure...

When I say missed out, I mean missed the chance. I would have liked to see him here. I have no inside info on whether we made a move for him.

We do need a half with a decent kicking game to replace Roberts though.
