Max Wood is also in the wire 21, not sure what to make of that!
This lad is contracted to saints till the end of the year I’d be going after him now because in the 40 mins he played yesterday he showed what we’d been missing he was unpredictable a strong go forward runner and a nice long kicking game, he’s still very raw at 20 years old but he’d be a welcomed addition into that squad

Got a feeling he wants to play Super league, but if wants part time with another job he is a must signing. The type of player missed for years.

The ideal situation would be to extend his loan (if possible) and hope the lad falls in love with us.
The rest will just fall in place.

I thought he was excellent yesterday!! I hope the injury isn't serious.

Fit for Sunday! 😎
That’s good news , but we need to try and get him till the end of the season.
Good to have will back and I hope it’s for the season as it looks like Tom and Jack will be outbforvyhrvrest of the season, not sure about joey though.
also would like to know of the halfbacks who are contracted after this season - I am sure Tom is, but Dec and joey ?
I think Patten is contracted for this season only.
Where we currently find ourselves id keep Lyons as 3rd choice halfback as I’d assume he doesn’t demand a huge salary and he plays for the jersey, he might not be the most gifted player but he always gives his all for the club. It’s like Liam bent, he deserves another contract maybe just a 12 month deal as he puts in big minutes in the middle.
@mckviking I don't agree with!! So you resign Lyons who isn't good enough for year 7/8? So your losing a space and money with people you know aren't good enough again yes he tries hard and yes he's local but really how many chances? I'd sooner spend that money going to Leigh reserves and try to get mannion or stankevich to show your new academy set up local players of ability a pathway and us something different to watch and get behind those young lads should be at Widnes not Leigh reserves
We don't have the balance right at half back, we need a running number 6 to play alongside the organising and kicking game of Patton or Gilmore.
Lyons may be satisfied being a squad player as both Gilmore and Patton miss a lot of games through injury, as he covers for both he gets a lot of game time. Also as has been said he won't be a top earner. But we need someone to take on the line at stand off. Williams and Mikey Lewis are the best. Going back for us at Championship level, Paul Manson and Dennis Moran
