I'd be surprised if he went back to St's to be honest but then in sport nothing would come as a shock especially RL.
He's playing the best rugby he's played in SL at Hull FC and seems to be settled so maybe rumours are just that especially with St's losing Bentley to Leeds.
As others have said it wasn't long ago he signed a new deal.
Matthew Shaw & Aaron Bower both say the Savelio rumour its nothing more than that just a rumour
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

A few weeks ago the list came out of players who still didn't have deals, this was about 4 weeks ago, so he has either signed a new deal at Hull or he signed for Saints 4 weeks ago.

Think we are ok with this one.
On the Red Vee rumours thread its been mentioned about a player of interest to St's but no one knows who or if its FC or KR. I wonder if its Mau with Woolf being an ex Tonga national coach and Mau having played for Tonga? Obviously its all just guess work.

on red vee it mentions Sau, Mau, Satae, Savelio and Conner....???? and could be FC or KR.....looks like nonsense. Hope none of them leave. It would be nice if FC make some announcements pretty soon.

Which in turn is based on a RL patreon (aka behind a paywall) which said we’re also after a marquee centre from the NRL to replace Naiqama with Welsby replacing Coote at fullback (all perfectly reasonable).
One of our more reliable “ITK” posters suggested it was Savelio, but suggested it was also alongside Kevin Proctor who were also linked with. We’re losing both Thompson (retirement) and Bentley (Leeds) so it’s possible we would sign two backrowers, but think it’s highly unlikely as Batchelor is starting to make more regular first team appearances and Wingfield really shone early in the season - so I can’t see us signing both.
Only other position I can reasonably see us signing is prop, which would maybe suggest Sao (and I had heard earlier in the season we were interested in Satae, but obviously he has since signed a new deal).
Saints over the years have been very good at keeping their cards close to their chest for new players, and so we’re just left with these snippets for speculation.

Just need another forward and I think we can really challenge next year.
Cant see us doing much player incoming apart from a front row which supporters and the club know is needed. Just dont understand why the club are so quiet releasing confirmation of contract extensions as the ones involved are hardly fringe players
