Is Mark Flanagan looking anywhere near 1st team level? He's been with us a little while now and I don't think he's had a sniff of 1st team yet?

Know he had a good stint at Fax last year, just wondering if he's still classed as 'one for the future'?

It was the same Adam Davies that was released by Wigan who played for Celtic reserves on Saturday.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Like you said 2 1/2 years out he just needs simple game time and confidence building. I honestly can’t see him with his current level of fitness doing anything at SL level for the moment and It could seriously hinder his development if goes out on loan and fails for this reason.

He defo needs to go out on loan next season tho. Either SL or hopefully we will have our NRL links in place that IL talks about. A guy with Karl’s size and talent would defo benefit from some time down there

Loan spell at Leigh training 2/3 nights a week on top of his FT training at Wigan should suit all concerned, ie game time at a level above SL academy, yet retaining conditioning/coaching from Wigan FT set up.

I agree that would be a better way to get him back into condition. Some of his footwork, passing and kicking on Saturday was very good, but he is a mile away from being fully fit.

He's a good player with plenty to offer and i really hope he fulfils his potential in Cherry & White.

Everyone knows he’s been poor when in the first team but on the opposite side of the scale is this not five tries and about four assists in his last two academy games?

The skills/potential is defiantly there we just need to get him super fit
