| Whilst Pryce and Tony P are both good players either are replaceable, pryce a bit harder I`ll grant you, I`m looking more at the next five years at least.
Roby , Graham and Eastmond would be very difficult to replace and can be the backbone of our team for the majority of the next decade.

| Quote ="Blobbynator"You mean one year? We still qualified for the Grand Final last year and have reached the Challenge Cup Semi Final two years on the bounce.
I've no great concerns replacing squad players and players who are replaceable with some of the younger players and a few external recruits, it's when we start releasing and selling the key players that I'll be overly concerned.
People go on about Warrington, but what kids have they got coming through? Their best players are in their 30's, they'll have to recruit a helluva lot of quality players in the next few years or start bringing the kids through fast. Our best players are Roby, Graham, Pryce and Eastmond, the majority in their early 20's. Get them signed up long term and we'll be fighting at the top for years to come.'"
Warrington now have one of the best youth set up's in SL and in 3 or 4 years these players will be coming through in their droves,all in their early 20's with at least a decade ahead of them as wire first graders. Watch this space.

The point blobby was making is your team is full of 30+ players next year and without huge turnaround by the time these youngsters are filtering in they are going to be 33/34+ and it would be highly unrealistic to expect a whole team to appear at once 1 or 2 a year maybe make and stay in the squad.
Warringtons recent work on their academy has been excellent but we all know even hugely promising at 16,17,18,19 takes a big step up to be a fully fledged top class pro.

But its these people who are often the engine of the team.
Its great having a sexy red Ferrari on the drive to look at, but if there's nothing under the bonnet it won't go far.

| No big deal if Flannery or Meli go. I think both have played well enough to stay however we have youngsters coming through in both positions that can fill in admirably. Meli's finishing is something we'd miss badly, however I'm happy for us to give youth a chance because no matter what happens next year we're going to be up against it from the start with playing in Skidnes.

| It's a shame we didn't give Meli a run in the centres a little earlier. He's looked a little unsure from time to time in defence in that position, but he's given us a bit of pace and strike power in the line, which is something we've been missing. As it stands I don't think we'll have enough time to see whether he'd ultimately be a success in that position. I'd be pretty happy if Meli stayed, but not particularly gutted if he went.
I've got plenty of time for Flannery, but I think it's fair to say that our selection of young back rowers, combined with the fact that he takes up a quota spot, will see him move elsewhere.

I would say the same for both Meli and Flannery, and indeed Hargreaves and a couple of others in the squad.

I think teams need to better themselves each year and improve the squad if it's possible. If meli and flannery leave and and are replaced with lomax and ashurst then imo we are already weaker next year.
Lomax and ashurst are few years off the level of meli and flannery yet, IMO flannery is the best of a avg bunch of backrows we have at saints.
Lomax looks like he'll be a very good player and could do a good job on the wing but meli is a tackle breaker and a great finisher and i think we would miss his attack.

| the immediate future looks quite poor for you lot.
The one thing you can gleen from our recent woes and your success is that you dont fair well when you change half the team each season.
Shame, as the derby matches were once again becoming competitive, now I expect us to dominate again - normal business is resumed.

| Why does it look poor ? Meli and Flannary haven't gone to Bradford. And we've signed Shenton and Perry, plus some good young players coming through. I'd say the future looks reasonably bright.

You havent dominated the derbies for the best part of 15 years. Normal service is resumed lol.
As for the immediate future, we will have one of, if not the best squad on paper next season
