Does specific recruitment matter if we're not full-time? The part-time payer pool is competent and we can grab our fair share of good players, but they're not exceptional players in the context of this level. It seems to me at least that the next logical step for us as a club, in terms of visible progress is to retain our academy prospects and allow them and the wider squad to go full-time, and compete at the right end of the championship next year pre-grading.

Cue all the cloth cutting responses

Eliot Peposhi has signed a one year deal. I guess he's England's replacement. Far less experienced but has shown plenty of potential in pre season.

Played a lot for Saints reserves last year.

Wonder what the fall out was sounds like it's turned nasty

Thanks

Peposhi has been there for at least 5/6 weeks now, trying to earn a contract, well before any talk of England leaving. Eliot is a really exciting young talent, played really well in the reserves last season at Saints and will add to the squad. But he's not Brad England's replacement, someone else is coming in.

Sound like someone with insider knowledge?

That's annoying. He'd be ace for us but TBH he's better than Championship. Wankfield beat off Leigh to sign him!

Thanks
