The way I see it is this. Blooding young kids is something you have to get right. The way to do that is to bring them in to cover the odd first teamer whilst there are still plenty of experienced players around them to help and mentor them. Throwing them into an already down on their luck side is going to do more harm than good and I'm kind of glad they aren't being thrown to the lions like that

PS, we play Sunday

I don't know his contract situation but I've always liked Tom Davies and think he would be a good replacement for McIntosh.
Catalans have 3 good wingers who are all good enough for SL and will be expecting first team games. They may be prepared to let one go, or Davies may be looking to leave if he's not getting in the first team when Yaha is fit again

Think Davies is contracted until 24, but you're right 3 doesn't go into 2.

He won't be the most glamorous signing bur Lee Kershaw at wakey is OOC. Always looked good when I've seen him

Lussick was great at Salford but hasn't been anything special at Saints. Saints fans don't have a high opinion of him from what I've read. Mind you they have very high standards in that position!

Clark looked like he was going to be world class when he was younger but has never really fulfilled his potential.

I think we will need a hooker next season as I'm sure Houghton will retire and Lovodua will not be retained. Question mark about Dwyer as well.

Davies is better than yaha

But yaha would still be a upgrade on mcintosh 100%

Agree , If all their wingers are fit , Then Yaha misses out . That said , Johnson will probably miss some part of the season .
