The fact remains that they have Pryce who is 27 and is going to be playing a bigger role in the team as the likes of Wellens get older, Cunningham, Long & Gidley leave so realistically he's gonna be around for at least 4/5 years minimum which takes up one spot and after that they've got;

Eastmond
Wheeler
Lomax

All to fit in other HB position. Wheeler may get a little game time at Centre but with Soliola coming over they are again limited with the options available.

You also have to take into consideration Scott Moore will be fighting for that bench spot when KFC retires so it's not like they can give one a run out like we do with Tomkins off the bench.

I'd love to know what one of the few Saints fans who comes on here think about each as a prospect and how they think they are going to fit into the squad over the next few years.

We may not get one of them from Saints but IL has to be looking at opportunities like this and exploring them just so we have all the bases covered.

I am in no way advocating that sighing Eastmond is a possibility, however if it came between us signing either him or myler then I would go for Eastmond every time. The lad is just sheer class in is IMO second only to Tompkins as the greatest young player in SL. his turn of pace is frightening not to mention he is as smart as they come.

Why don’t we get Steve Mac at Bradford to sign him before sending him this way?

Sorry to disagree with a lot of people but Myler before Eastmond every time.

I'd agree, Myler for me is more of a ball player and would for me suit partnering Tomkins better than Eastmond would, but then again I'd be happy with either.

Saints would definitely have a job on there hands keeping everyone happy and accommodated were they to sign Myler.

We will sign neither.

We will get some message about how we have tommy and sam and that we also have a number of player who can play in the halves.

Just like the message we got about a prop last off season

More inside info, TD, or simple annoyance than none of your more extravagant predictions ever came true?

His deal is up end of 2010, he needs a big year next year in my opinion as Saints will probably have a few bid decisions to make on who to retain in the half back position especially if they bring in a replacement for Long.

He's a Wigan fan as well by all accounts!
