Deal confirmed I'm told.

Correct

Difficult to imagine who he might be replacing.
I reckon Ratu's commitment to the army may be a stumbling block.
Shame if that turns out to be the case.

Currently we have 3 first team wingers, Faraimo, Dawson-Jones and Naulago. Naulago has some other commitments which prevent him being available all the time so it's not difficult to see Radders wanting another proven winger. Direct replacement for Talanoa.

Was at the training ground today I’ve heard .

Been a while since we had a winger with poor ball control so should at least provide some excitement. Complete wast eof money if we keep ratu and faraimo

Kieron Buchanan must be thrilled!

jeez lets give the kid a chance, hes got pace and injuries do occur,

Kieran is not a natural winger. Centre but in a few years will end up backrow if he stays at F.C. give Swift a chance he’s a brilliant finisher with decent pace. Something we don’t have a lot of.

I've already given my opinion on him in previous threads. Now he is coming I will get behind him though.

He was at the training ground today, seen a picture of him

Welcome Adam, hope you enjoy your time here.

...do the biz kid and they'll love ya.

I can't see him leaving the best team in the comp and dragging himself across the other side of the country for less money and to play reserves and I can't see us spending decent money on a back up winger so I reckon at least one of ratu or faraimo must be on their way next year. Complete waste of money spending valuable cap space on 2 back up wingers otherwise

And he's still garbage

Welcome squad depth in my opinion

Agreed, welcome Adam. Got pace, hasn't he, something that many have said is lacking in our squad.

Squad depth wasn't that the mantra for this season. I thought we wanted quality over quantity going forward? Can't say I'm over excited by Swift's imminent signing. We need a new pack.

Given how many of our successful signings this board has been critical of initially I'll reserve judgement until our recruitment is completed and I've seen him play.

If we spend big on a world class winger then some would complain we were wasting cap on wingers and if we get in solid players then we are signing rubbish.

Spot on - some said we were wasting money on Connor as a utility player. Let's see the squad in the round.

Were linked with some good overseas signings plus sign josh jones, we mention squad depth and people pounce on it. The joys

86 tries in 126 appearences for saints.speaks for itself.

Any chance of [iouting[/i them?

Complaints about signing an English winger who was Saints first choice till Eden Grace’s rise to prominence? Some saying we need to build the pack, Josh Jones done and dusted, Savellio to come in like a new player? Ligi Soa and another Aussie prop or 2? Probably one of Faraimo or Naulogo going to make way for overseas signings, or am I being stupid again????

no just talking common sense

On here, silly me.

I think Naulogo confirmed in an interview that he has a British passport.
