No offence to the lad but if he’s stalling then get on the blower to Jackson Hastings.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
His form this year has been good up until his injury so I'm sure the club are working on it, however given that he only played a bit part last year it's not entirely surprising that the club has not secured his services earlier.
If he had been a regular performer in previous years then I am sure that the club would have looked to offer something sooner.
All the ‘noise’ a few weeks ago were positive from JH about wanting him to stay. I can only think the stalling (if there is one) will be on Fages side. I wonder if Danny Richardson’s performances have made JH rethink. Or do Saints have their eyes on someone else. Those mentioned above, Drinkwater IMO is nowhere an improvement. Hastings? The jury is out for me. I worry about his baggage. Personally I will made up if Fages stays. But the club is bigger....as they say.
Humans are more concerned with having than being.
This is a strange one mainly because Holbrook obviously wasnt sure about him last season by the way he chopped and changed his position and left him out of the play off semi final. He's obviously done well this season but is he worth an extension? Personally, I'm not sure. If i'm being honest, i'd rather we signed a 7 with a good kicking game who can take us around the park which would complement Lomax and his style at 6.
He has been good at HB this year but the lack of kicking ability has always been a bit of a concern, something that someone like Hastings would bring. I have always thought he was worth a spot due to his versatility, but now we have Smith coming through at 9, and Bentley looked OK there on Sunday, so maybe Fages value has depreciated a bit. I would still like to keep him but we do have other options.
My old Granny had a saying if it ain't broke don't fix it I said well your mantle clock is broke she said yes but it's right twice a day. Fages is still young as is Richardson doesn't anybody think there is improvement in them or do we just bin them and let someone else reap the rewards?
On the Back foot looking for the front one.
Trust in JH.
Lots of people complaining about The Coote signing before the season started.... best full back in the comp!
Can't stop the spirits when they need you.
This life is more than just a read through.
Theo is doing a great job. Richardson at his committed and focused best is worth his place and Lomax is almost the complete RL player.So you have to be good to get anywhere at Saints in the halves if Theo does fancy a stint down under. Is Hastings that good?
Learned comment from The Don
The lads that Saints have are doing very well so keep them if Fages wants to try somewhere else well lots of people change there place of work , Richardson as improved by being in the team and no doubt will improve more so andleave well alone. other lads who are well thought of are coming through the system , wait
I like the way Hastings plays in an average Salford side. With better players around him he could be really good. If he is a stand out player how long would it be till the nrl come knocking ? That's my main worry,we could be back to looking for a half every couple of years.
For what it is worth, I was surprised and very happy that Fages wasn’t selected for the semi final against us. I think it would have been a different outcome with him on the bench.
I tend to have the same thoughts, Richardson has shown the right temperment for that No 7 shirt and Lomax has the no 6 shirt for a couple of seasons.
Although Welsby has been operating at full back he is also a half back and is progressing at a fair rate of knots.
I,m not sure if Drinkwater is a good fit for our style of play, hopefully Fages will stay but we do have future options within the club for 2020/2021.
Would rather get Thompson and Holbrook signed up than Theo. Atm the way Richardson has been playing can you drop him
For Theo?!
