Speaking to a friend who plays at saints, Sia has been told to stop going the gym and doing weights cos his arms, shoulders and chest are to big

For me we need to be signing some key players like this long term if we can. I'd have no issue with sia getting a four year deal. Same for lomax and if gaskell continues the same for hime next year.

The NRL may draw sia back but if we can keep him we may have a cracking forward for years.

I cant say that there are many key players given our youth structure but big hard hitting forwards are hard to develop and we have lost three half backs in the last year so we can really afford to keep letting other teams poach them.

ekk spelling

Sia doesn't seem to be a player who is too concerned with the bright lights and big stage, it's more about his family and whether they are happy. He seems to be at the moment.

If he ever thinks about leaving, we can just tell him he can't get Xbox Live in Australia, he won't know it's not true.

He's got better as the season has progressed, this has coincided with him apparently stopping thinking that every tackle has to be a big hit.

True but he still knocks em about a bit and legally too.
