True but some Saints fans were saying Jamie Foster as well (a good bet for this year),

I am looking forward to seeing how good Mellor is at Wigan and Lee Gaskell is at Saints. The Burgess twins at Bradford may get a crack at some point too.

Yup, Fev, who have delivered Rob Burrow and Joe Westerman

For Bradford I'd expect Whitehead and Donaldson to continue getting game time and continuing to improve. Also the Burgess twins are on the cusp of the 1st team and given their pedigree, big things are expected of them

The force is strong with this one?

...

Saints - Sean Magennis

Without doubt imo.

Outstanding whenever i've seen him.

I expect to see Lee Mossop really kick on next year aswell. He's a huge lad and has had a very promising start.

In terms of breaking into the first team at Salford, Jack Spencer and Lewis Palfrey appear the most likely.

I also think that Luke Adamson and Steph Ratchford could break into the England set up this season if their development continues as it did last year.

I think Elliot Kear will be an established first teamer once he cuts out the mistakes.

Gil Dudson also one to look out for.

Big unit who can play a bit too.

In fairness briscoe, kirmond and rooney have all gone on to play sl rugby after coming from fev in the last few seasons.

Whilst cockayne and westwood are from normy.

Are there any players that come from knottingley?

Speaking to Sean the other day. His in pre season training after his knee operations. Still very rusty but hopes he can improve.

I think Bartheau will get his chance. I also fear that it's about time for Bosc to get a long injury and without the simply majestic Perry to fill in we may see Guash or Gigot come through as well.
Andrew Bently is due a shot in the squad, with last year's injuries behind him we should see him back in the squad.

Widnes - Anthony Mullally and Danny Hulme.


Mullally is a monster of a lad and his position is prop, Danny Hulme is the spit of his dad David and play in the same position of scrum half.

Not next season but Saints have two awesome prospects that every club in SL wanted to sign. Both are being touted as special by coaches who have seen some of the best.

Dougie Charnock - Signed from Wire age 15

Matthew Fozzard - Signed from Widnes age 15

He is good you stealing gets.

Dougie Charnock is a star but I would never get too excited about players that age. They change so much. I have heard quite a few new players at saints are overated having played in great teams at a young age.

Of course. However speaking to the coach of Saints u15 Development squad. The two are really showing signs of class and at 15 they're developing very nicely.

There will be a fight for kicking duties as both can kick from anywhere. Dougie kicks for Rylands and Fozzy kicks for West Bank. Might try and get to a few games see what they're like for myself.

There are tonnes of young players around who are great kickers so that does not impress me. At that age the most important attributes are desire and passion and hard working, that will convince me that they can become a great player when they get older. There have been so many players who are highly rated even up to the age of 20 and then flopped. Goulding was rated as the next great GB centre but has never really impressed in the Wigan first team, lets hope next season is different.

Looked very impressive at salford, how many first team games has he had at wigan?

This season not too many as he started poorly he has also been injured but over the last few years since 2007 some would say he has had his fair share and should go.

Well if you diont want him i'm sure cas would be willing to take a young hungry centre with a good try scoring rate. Do you not think it may have been team tacticts holding him back at wigan considering how well he did at salford?

Salford fans would love to see Goulding back. The right club and the right amount of responsibility seemed to do him the world of good. If you don't want him, we'll have him.

On another note, Jordan Turner has shown some sheer class in his time at Salford, just not consistently. Shame he left as I thought he was one for the future. Good luck to the guy though, and hopefully he can produce the goods for England/GB one day.

If we got into a bidding war I don't think Salford would come out on top. Although if I take the Jackpot on this weekends Euro-millions I'll stump up the transfer fee.

Your spot on with that so he might be better under the new coaching team. I hope he makes himself a success but with Carmont here for even longer and Gleeson here for another few years he will not be starting for quite a while. He is competing with Karl Pryce who could improve also if he gets fit. By the time he has a chance of being the starting centre Thornley will also be in with a shout. I can personally see him going to Hudds, Cas, Wakey... and making a good career.

Can not understand what wigan are playing at, Carmont is not bad but defo not a super star and for a club of Wigan size giving him a 3 years deal i find this very strange i would rather have goulding learning is trade.
