Makes you wonder why that's not on the website doesn't it?

It is a cunning plan to confuse Widnes when we play them.

If Hughes & his menagerie have a cunning plan, they must have employed Blackadder & Baldrick as doubt the Simian is capable of producing one.

What is your squad size up to now, think ours (Leigh) is 20. We must be borrowing a lot of Saints players.

We have 29 Budge as Jaybs says but it’s the detail which tells the story. 4 are Academy graduates, 2 are Grads from last year, our 6 & 7 are promising but have played only a handful of games since graduating from the Academy in 2020 and we have recruited quite heavily from low end L1 sides such as Skolars so, objectively, the squad is thin. May do well but I fear the game against Leigh won’t be as competitive as either side would like.

It was earlier in the week but last time I looked you can only see the staff list so maybe they are tinkering or adding in photos of those whom did not have one. Maybe we have re-signed Walters and the are adding him in.

That wouldn't be a reason to remove it though.

Hope so - the squad announced is undoubtedly the weakest on paper that I have seen this past 25 years. Adding/ keeping a player with Walters experience would be a big plus.
Anyone know about Hindmarsh? Again, another experienced , decent quality player who could do a decent job for us in the Championship.

Egodo has gone to Rugby Union in Birmingham - Moseley. Interesting move for him.
