I feel the club will 100% get Sivo dispensed from our 2025 cap he is also one of our marquee players so can’t see Blease & Hetherington just allowing Sivo’s salary and place being wasted.
It’s so unfortunate for Sivo I think he would have been great for us hopefully he can recover as best as possible and his start with us is just delayed a year.
Can’t see us rushing to replace him so late into pre season and don’t think it’ll be like for like as we do have plenty of cover for the wings at the moment.
Handley, Hall, Edgell, Lumb, McCormack & Simpson can all be options on the wing.
I can still see Miller possibly being used there as well this season.
But we now effectively have a 25 man squad for the season and I don’t think it’ll stay that way so can definitely see Leeds putting Sivo’s place to use mid season.
Think I've said that I'd have gone with Handley and Lumb on the wing with Watkins and Newman in the centres. It would have been for that exact reason, to get (or try to) us on the front foot from the start of sets. I think Saints will try to kick us to death and dominate field position.
I've just been informed that Paul Wellens is no longer the Saints head coach. Only a rumour at present as nothing has been officially announced online yet by the Saints club....Watch this space tho
