ALTHOUGH Saints have been linked with a number of targets, they have as yet, not secured any further addition for the back end of the current campaign.

When they released surplus half back Travis Burns two weeks ago - freeing up some cap space — the common view was that a signing was imminent.

And although they were in the hunt for Manly forward Tom Symonds, Huddersfield had already made all the running and secured his capture.

Although Australian press linked Saints with a move for Kiwi prop Frank Paul Nu’uausala — at the moment that appears unlikely.

Without mentioning any names or potential targets coach Keiron Cunningham said: “You never say never, the thing with moving Travis on was that it did free up space.

“But what I am not going to do as coach is jump in feet first and sign an old player on three-and-a-half years and then be sat there there in 18 months, paying him massive money, thinking what have we done this for because then I would be a fool.

“No matter what people think, that is right for the club. If someone is going to come in - they have to give us added value this year and be an asset for the next two or three years.

“If they were right, that would be made in a heartbeat.

“I am looking - and if one comes up then we would be straight through the door

“You’re always tempted to bring someone in to help the situation but you have to be smart. If we do bring someone in it will be the right person and they will be here for a long period of time.

“Everything is evaluated and assessed.

“The club isn’t where it should be so there will be some changes for next year. The extent of that will be decided in the next few weeks.

“We are in the market for lots of players, but you have to do that as it isn’t guaranteed you will get these players.

“You need a Plan A right through to Z.

“When they fall and land for us though, they have to be right for the club.

“At times like this you see the genuine leadership in the squad or lack of it.

“We will take a different avenue for next year and things will be different.”
