    Just out of interest, but why is Leigh Sports Village not available?

    5 weeks without a home game ! Gets relayed every year because 2 MUFC teams use it, looked perfect last sunday. Bet United pay for it, as they like wasting money
    Saints season ticket holders can attend this game for £15 if any of you are bored on that night...and want to watch some biff !

    4 Saints players in the Leigh squad v Barrow on Wednesday night. Luke Douglas, Josh Eaves, Josh Simm & Joe Batchelor.

    I would swap him for Lees. Richardson got a lot of flak for his tackling last season, Lees is even worse i think he needs a spell at Leigh.

    Lees has the dubious honour of topping the stats for the whole of SL for missed tackles with 80. Something that he clearly needs to work on and I'm sure hasn't escaped Justin's notice.

    How Amor gets in over Douglas is utterly baffling to me, as he stands out to me as just not a Saints standard player and has for a few seasons imo.

    Call me picky, but I have a sneaking suspicion that that picture isn't actually our home stadium

    (although kudos for using the Langtree Park name, not the stupid one we have now)

    Any idea why Toronto and Toulouse are allowed to play in our leagues but not the 1895 cup? Without knowing why, it seems a strange decision.

    They're not full membership of the RFL, nor are Catalans

    I don't doubt what you are saying, but it still seems a strange decision, especially considering Cats play in CC. Thanks anyway.

    Just watched the game between York and Batley on the Our League app. Very good game. Neither side looked like they was holding back with it being a mid week game.

    The live stream on the app has got a lot better. Just needs a few tweaks , some polishing and it will be grand.

    Douglas is one of those players who gets better without actually playing for us. Let’s be honest, he was bang average for the most part during his spell in the first team in the past couple of years, and did pretty much nothing of note in his 59 games, despite being on the overseas quota and presumably earning a decent wage.

    He can’t be blamed for Cunningham signing him but he isn’t good enough and a few good games in the part time leagues does not mean he should be back anywhere near the top of SL.

    I know I'm biased (now) but Luke Douglas would get in most SL squads, maybe not as a starter, but he has some engine on him. Saints don't need him which I fully understand. He had another very good game in our lucky win over Barrow tonight. Also Josh Simms was excellent, made 3 long breaks, and by far our most dangerous 'back' on the field.

    Thats great to know, as we know in our group of mates who try to watch the Academy games before the 1st team games, he is probably the biggest threat with the ball of anyone of his age in the country. Playing with Leigh should help accelerate his progression quicker too.

    I agree, he did not particularly shine when he was playing regularly for us, but look at his stats in Australia, most consecutive appearances in the the the league, in the voting for best ever player not to play in the State of Origin. Possibly he was burnt out when he came here, similar to Perry, but you never know, playing under Holbrook regularly might have resurrected his form, but we will never know, I do know one thing though I would put him in the team before Amor

    Douglas was never going to be a barnstorming prop, skittling defenders hither & thither, and catching the eye in games. He's always been a no-nonsense grafter of a prop that does all the basics of propping very well and very consistently. And that's what he has been for us, especially since Cunningham left. He does the hard yards, gets quick PTB's, works overtime in defence, misses very few tackles, and organises the middle.
