    There will be plenty of movement in Super League in the coming weeks and one player moving on is St Helens half-back Danny Richardson.

    The talented youngster has found game time hard to come by this year and we understand Castleford Tigers have paid a significant fee to take him to West Yorkshire.

    The Tigers were on the lookout for a half-back with Luke Gale heading back to Leeds Rhinos and have secured his replacement in Richardson.

    The 23-year-old will partner Jake Trueman in the halves in an exciting partnership.

    I think he will be a good fit for them, suits all parties

    We seem to have given up very quickly with him.

    He has the potential to be a very good player.
    I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.

    Not going to be good enough. He's ••••ing 23 not 17 and still looks a player playing his first game. If he could learn from mistakes as quickly as he gets miffed then his potential might start to release itself. He's little more than another Lee Gaskell and the club have a better 'potential' player waiting in Dodd.

    I had heard he was moving on. How old is this Dodd? Is he realistically going to be able to play 3/4 of the season if we get an injury? Or would we need to be signing a replacement if Danny left?

    A swap with Trueman would be nice.

    I agree. Even when given his opportunity this year he never really did enough to pressure Fages return.

    It's a bit of a Lee Gaskell situation, he'll have a career but I don't think he's good enough for a top side

    Spot on, he was a protest vote because we had Matty Smith at the time and as a result was vastly overrated along with him being a goal kicking scrum half who often took headline moments despite doing nothing for the rest of the game. Nothing more annoying than when people say he’ll learn with experience. 53 Super League games and he hasn’t improved at all. I said within the first two months of last season he wasn’t good enough and I got slated by half the forum. He’ll go on to struggle at Cas.

    Leaving a team that regularly challenges for honors to go to a club that scraped into the top 5 (again) is only a step down and of course has less pressure.

    Staying at Saints, with a new coaching team as well, fighting to be part of the squad and it’s future successes will be much more difficult but ultimately more rewarding.


    It’s up to Danny but if he was my lad I’d be telling him to give it another year under Woolf.
    Can't stop the spirits when they need you.

    This life is more than just a read through.

    We also have jack welsby who will be wanting game time.
    Maybe coote to cover half back an welsby to full back with injury crisis. If the rumour is true.

    Interesting. I know Dodd is highly thought of but if he’s only 17 I’m not sure how likely he is to be ready to step in if we get a long-term injury in the halves.

    You can tell from that he’s not happy but he does say he wanted to see what the new coach thought.

    Writing was on the wall when he spoke at the CC final interval, it was always going to be a "bee in his bonnet" that wasn't going to go away. Truman + Richardson could be an exciting partnership, I,m glad he hasn't gone to the Goons or Wire to create that "Lee Briers" scenario, wish him well its a short career in super league.

    Maybe it depends on how close Dodds is to playing a part in the first team squad. If he is good enough he is old enough. In my view Fages is better than Richardson, Welsby could play at half back and Dodds sounds like he could be very good.

    If he is good enough he is old enough, he was good enough at 13 but not old enough, I have never agreed with that saying
    It suggests just throwing a player in based on promise, some players are ready and some are not, some need more nurturing than others.
    For me he is brilliant and will be a great player, I don't know if he is ready but he is certainly close and will soon be knocking on the door

    His comments in the St Helens Star basically say that he wants to play regular rugby and will have to see if he’s in the new coaches plans.
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    Dodd is up and coming , but there is also Welsby who can take more game time.

    Richardson has had a good opportunity. Just not kicked on.

    Don't see the big issue with letting him go.

    Only worry is Fages is only contracted for another year, but I can't see Richardson waiting another year to see what Fages does..

    Sometimes you've just got to bite the bullet and hopefully it doesn't come back to haunt us

    Theo extended till the end of 2021. Richardson needs to play regular rugby and the move has probably earned him a few quid as well so fair play to him. Not sure how much he was on but we have some money to either get another player or upgraded some contracts.

    I am sure he will be getting a substantial pay rise & regular first team rugby under a good coach, the lad would be daft to say no tbh Roy.

    I hope we have a buy back or first option clause. I do rate Richardson and, while I understand the frustrations people have with his game, I think he has the quality to be a good super league half back.

    I cannot understand why so many of our fans rate DR , Theo was in a different class last night , apart from the knock on that is .
