will all depart Franklin’s Gardens at the end of the 2024/25 campaign."A bittersweet time of year" – Dowson opens up
“This is always a bittersweet time of year for the squad,” Dowson admitted.
“While we’re excited for the business end of the season and welcoming our new Academy cohort, it’s tough knowing we’ll be saying goodbye to players who’ve given their all to this club.
“Every one of these lads has had a Saints-first mindset, whether they’ve featured regularly or supported from behind the scenes. Their impact on our squad culture and preparation has been immense.
“They’re a special group, and we’re incredibly proud of them.”
Eyes still on silverware
“There’s still a huge amount to play for. These players will remain fully locked in as we prepare for what could be a historic end to our season.”

LATEST COMMENTS
- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
