Wigan do it and get criticised for letting youngsters go! Saints do it and ???????????? Nothing said!
I think You may have misunderstood my point, I have no problems with Gidley/Meli/Flannery etc as at the moment there is a dearth of Young Available talent out there that can come in and IMPROVE a side.
IMO NONE of your youngsters are good enough to take the shirts off these established SL & International players week in week out, What I cant get my head round is that if Wigan do it We get slated Yet Saints are doing similar things.
How many foreigners have Wigan got in their squad? How many have Saints got in their squad?
What quality are our overseas players? What quality are yours?

Personally, I dont think they will, but I think the gap will be a lot closer this season.
Cant see them beating us this season to be brutally honest,i can see us winning all the games between the sides this season,i can also see us sticking 40 past them on at least one occasion as well

You need to read what was written, rather than what you think was written.

Dean was sent out to Widnes to see how he shaped up playing against men rather than boys in the U21s. He's played both friendlies so far in the centre position, so he has been blooded in some respects. Tyrer was picked before him when both were in the squad earlier in the year, neither were going to shift Talau when he was fit.
I would hope that he would be picked there instead of Gilmour this year, though I don't expect him to play every match.
And I can't believe you're defending the selection of Phelps over Goulding tbh.
Oh, and both Meli and Flannery are very average IMO. In some respects I'd like to see someone like Foster given a go on the wing to get him game time in SL before moving him inside.

If they finish anywhere near or beat us consistently this year, then everybody at Saints need to take a hard look at themselves.
That's a very naive perspective based on the opening 40 minutes of their first game of the season.
As we saw in the game on friday, the opening games of any season will see teams struggle against lack of competitive match practice, christ knows we've struggled ourselves in past seasons from the same thing.
Much as i don't like them, i wouldn't be so quick to right them of based on one half of rugby.
