Straight from the horses mouth,Cunningham's first press conference as Saints coach. Good news though.
Great news. Any ideas on lomax is he back in training?
It's been a long time since we started a season with 2 proper half-backs. Gaskell, Lomax, Hohaia are not half-backs for me so it's probably the season we started with Pryce and Eastmond whenever that was, 2011?
As others have said, IF we can keep our key players fit then we won't be far off in both competitions. There isn't a squad in Super League that I look at and think it's any stronger than ours.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
I would even argue that Pryce and Eastmond weren't out and out natural half backs who can organise etc. Eastmond would probably be a full back in my opinion in the present game.
Really excited and desperate for us to get to Wembley this year. If we don't have our usual injury nightmare we will take some stopping, can't see any of the other squads matching us!
Very excited to see Burns. He's got that 'mongrel' in him that Saints have been missing for a long time. He's also a damn fine half back. Walsh is just a very classy half, the best 7 in the country by a mile and we're fortunate to have him. It's easy to forget just how good he was in the early parts of last year. Him and Burns make up what for me, is easily the best half pairing in the country and behind what is a gigantic pack of forwards, it makes for a great season. Can't wait.
I spoke to Jonny Lomax a few days ago and he is fit and raring to go well ahead of schedule.
Just had a look at our 2015 squad and I reckon 65% are home grown.Excellent.
Learned comment from The Don
Ade must be doing a good job along with the medics and rehab
Like having 4 new signings this season; Walsh, Burns, Lomax, Wilko. Excitement of old is back, for good I hope.
Big season this for Lomax, if he stays fairly fit he can rip some trees up. I do agree about the half back combo its the first genuine one for a long long time. I just hope Hewitt gets a bit of game time whilst these guys are around.
I think this season will prove that our best signing in the off season was Sean Long.
Same here was right in front of us too, never thought he'd play again. The news has just got better and better, at first he was rumoured to be out for almost a year, then it was announced it'd be around march/april and now to hear he's going to be fit for the first game is just brilliant!! Just hope it doesn't affect his game mentally, which it could understandably do.
