I always think overseas signings need a grace period to settle in,different cultures etc.McKenna didn't light up the team in his first year, in fact I think he had a chest injury in the first year.He did ok in the subsequent years, so Fuzzy should be accorded a little leeway imo.As it goes, on the spectrum of disappointing overseas signings,he's nowhere near a Paul Bell,Ben Waker,Ben cross ,Joe what's is name,the winger who made minus meters when bringing the ball out.Even Merrin was a disappointment to say he was a marquee signing.Concussion protocols and disgraceful disciplinary calls have not helped Fuzzys case.

Great humility shown sir.
It’s a miracle really what’s happened. I still don’t think a team who finishes 5th would be in the Grand Final, but we’ll take it with both hands…..

Do think Peet and Smith have a lot in common. Both don't get carried away in victory or defeat, both give credit to the opposition and don't bemoan bad luck, both would never dream of hanging their players out to dry. In short: both class acts.

Wow. What a great solid performance last night.

I must say, this season I have quite 'enjoyed' watching the pies. Peet has got them playing some decent rugby.

Smith. I never ever thought we would have such stark contrast in performances. It really does feel like a Bruce / Howe situation. Smith seems extremely grounded and humble. He's got the lads fitter and grafting and the whole spirit in the camp looks great.

Congratulation on a great performance now go ahead and stuff Saints next Saturday.
