A few years ago Saints I think was looking at Jarrad Stack who played like Chris Joynt but he wasn't the right age and we got Batchelor instead.
We missed a few good players as well Liam Halliwell (Barrow) and a player ???? Seed (Whitehaven) because they had good jobs. We also looked at Ade Gardners brother Matt Gardner but I,m not sure but I think he ended up at Huddersfield.
Barrow is also a target for Saints ex players as well, last season Carl Foster, Gary Wheeler, Matty Costello played for them last season.
