Lowdesert Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Media that SMc has been speaking to Fages who’s off contract this year. Best place for him imo. Also that Escare (whatever happened to him) is interested as well as Seb Teaia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only downside is he's prone to a couple of unforced errors or penalties pretty much every game. Generally makes up for it with the rest of his game though. As for Fages, he's having a good season with a solid run in the team in the same position. Not sure if he'd be looking to move back to France but it's quite different to the NRL move which was being mooted not so long ago. Cas was rumoured as a done deal too but some Cas fans also thought they'd signed Walmsley from us a couple of years back too. Would be interesting to see the approach Saints take if he does go. Richardson to get another chance with Welsby waiting in the wings? Or maybe bring in a more experienced organiser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Stay at saints in a heartbeat if he has the chance . Not better off at Catalans . And mixed record at best with players who go there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris22 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I've heard that he's signed a new contract at Saints now, after stalling for quite a while! Maybe he was waiting for an NRL offer that didn't materialise! Edit: Holbrook confirmed that we offered him a contract months ago and all that has been said since is that it remains "on the table". We haven't held back on offering him a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyXIII Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I thought there was bad blood between Theo's family (father) and Guasch, which was why he went to Salford rather than Catalans. Seems like an unlikely move for Theo, but money talks. Rethymno Rugby League Appreciation Society Founder (and, so far, only) member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigan at times could do with a change of pace and the option of putting the ball behind the line. He offers that well And surely merits a bench spot some weeks at least. With Escare at the Dragons unless he plays half back a position he's not really suited to, I don't see him at FB with Gigot, Tomkins and Mead about, unless Mead is off and then there is a need for more depth? Fages seems to be doing very well at Saints so wouldn't make sense to Leave unless an NRL offer materialises. Zeb is a very good SL player and a team can not have enough good second row talent so would not be a bad signing at all. Only issue is what would it mean for some of the French lads coming through with getting a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackknife Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 This is just typical agents putting there players out there to try n get them a better deal, fages will stay at sts n get a bigger contract after interest from Catalan n Cas.

I think Wane used him well, as a impact player off the bench who would then mean Tomkins would go to HB, with Escare at FB. He would also get used on the wing if injuries occured. Wane is too good a coach to be out of SL imo. Wigan miss him. Escare too good a player to not be a first 17 regular in SL. London for one could do with him.

Chris22 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I wouldn't anticipate that Saints will be signing too many players for 2020, with a lot of key players signing new and probably improved contracts. I don't have a great problem with that. The squad is strong as it is and the club deserve praise for being able to retain players like Walmsley, Roby, Lomax, Makinson and Fages at times when other clubs are losing key players.
