i commented the other day in a discussion with some Saints fans that my criticism of the club this year was the lack of recognised centres - 2 (Hardaker included in those 2) and Thornley who we knew to be injury prone. That has led to 2nd row playing there virtually all season, so hoping that if we get both signings completed, that we don't need to rely on Isa, KPP, Farrell or Bateman to play there at all, and they can focus on playing where they are specialist players
