| Don't forget there is another rugby league side with the same hashtags who play in a better country than ours in a better competition. How confident are we that it's us?
Are we happy with this signing? Despite his undeniable pedigree he's a player who at the end of the day isn't performing well enough to be playing in the NRL. Motivation will be key, get him fired up and we'll have a good signing, but he'll need to be more professional here than it seems he has been at NZW.
And if he has leaked the signing himself, McManus will be soooooooo annoyed. This would no doubt have been his big on field announcement signing when season ticket renewals were opened.

| Ah Meli, those were the days of roll a dice catches.
Our current crop can catch a ball but apart from swift we don't seem to cover the distance we should even with vast quantities of space infront of them.

Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.

| Quote: The Chief "The guy is clearly a unit but having watched a lot of him in the NRL, he has one fundamental flaw in his game and that's his lack of consistency under the high ball. He's as bad if not worse than Meli in that regard. For someone to command a 3 year deal on big bucks, I'd expect him to be a bit more secure in what is a wingers primary job.'"
Super league is inferior than the NRL so I think he would do a good job at centre with another signed big winger along side him. We need some very big quality players for centre, wing and prop position.

I'm not disagreeing for the sake of it but if we need a centre, let's sign a centre, not some guy who's played 215 games over 10/11 years in the NRL on the wing. He clearly doesn't have the handling skills or evasiveness, let alone the lateral movement in defence to play centre, exactly the same problem as we saw with Soliola and now Peyroux.

| The only way I would be an advocate of this signing is if it meant one of Swift or Makinson to fullback and we were going to use the unreliable Lomax as a utility player. Otherwise it seems an incredibly short term thinking panic buy. I remember at the start of 2014 when Lomax, Makinson and Swift were all fit and were getting praise at how good they were as a back 3. I'm not suggesting any are Ryan Hall types, but I feel this amount of money should be spent on a proper centre, a prop or a hooker.

| For some reason Saints seem to be missing out on players like Denny Solomona, again on fire last night.
