Quote ="Saddened!"No thanks from me. Hodgson was a fantastic fullback and I'd take him in a coaching capacity, but he's making errors frequently for Warrington now and has had a few real shockers this season.
Makinson doesn't need anyone to hold his hand, Wellens or otherwise. Just give him the shirt, in fact I'd give it him now so he can build up some confidence in the role with less expectation than there will be next season.'"
I agree with Saddened. (Something's not right...
I feel ill....

Seriously though, do you really want to replace a full back who is an excellent player but whose pace has sadly deserted him with another talented player who is also at the wrong end of his career? Unless you're bringing him as cover and to do some coaching this doesn't make sense. Are Saints trying to recreate the stupid errors Wigan made in the early-mid noughties? You don't need to bring in overseas players at the wrong end of their careers, either get your home grown players in the side or if your youth policy is failing recruit Warrington-style from smaller clubs.
