Player
movements since season's end, 2001 - 2002 (latest news at top):
19
Jan: It has been confirmed that Trent Barrett will captain Saints
in 2002. Saints On TV had previously reported this as a rumour last
November (see old news, SOTV 2001). Barrett replaces Craig Smith
who left for the UK after season 2001. Barrett's representative experience
saw him getting the nod ahead of Lance Thompson.
15
Dec: Leo Clarke has been seen training with the Dragon's first division
side. The popular winger was a try scorer in Saints' first division Grand
Final win.
11
Dec: Saints have signed ex-Magpie's second rower, Shane Millard.
This completes the Dragon's player roster for 2002. Millard debuted for
the Roosters in 1996 but joined the Western Suburbs Magpies in 1997. He
was shown the door by Wests at the completion of season 1997.
24
Nov: Mark Simon and Andrew Bobbin have been released from Saints
and are now invited to look elsewhere. At this stage, they are without
a club.
