There's a huge contrast between Paul Wellens and Matt Peet when they are interviewed. Peet has always come across as relaxed, secure and comfortable in himself and not hugely affected by the highs or the lows.

Wellens seems the exact opposite. He looks nervous, on edge, insecure and very affected by the highs and the lows.

Percival has had issues for years and you'd imagine he'll only get more niggles as the years go by. I believe Robertson had a run at centre yesterday but struggled a bit. It feels like they may end up in a position similar to us in 2020ish, with second rowers needing to fill in there pretty often.

Toby King's agent can smell money again!!

He comes across terribly Wellens, looks like he has no faith or conviction in what he's saying. Clearly under massive pressure.

Matt Shaw saying Morgan Knowles looking likely to go to the Dolphins with Kristian Woolf for 2026.

Full on Cpl Jones time

Matt Shaw isn't normally wrong either. Nightmare for Saints if he goes. Hope he stays - SL needs to keep as many of its better players as possible and a strong St Helens is good for Wigan.

Im on the fence

On one hand, i hope he goes to:
a. screw Saints over
b. have other teams lose players like we seeminly do regularly
c. improve the England team as he will be playing ina much stronger comp

but i agree with what your saying about SL

Stu M/Reacher seems to know something but the folks on redvee are sceptical

Hope he stays as well. The league needs all the good players it can get.

It's a funny one. Matt Shaw doesn't get many wrong but he has covered himself in the article by saying it'll be tough for Saints to retain him and it's thought it might be too good to turn down, rather than he's definitely going. Guys like YG seem to be on the money also, so it's difficult to call.
