Only poor performer for Saints tonight imo. His either carrying a injury or he cant be botherd. He runs the ball in like a lady.

Very dissapointed with him this season.

I think thats harsh. He's not a prop and is being used through the middle. He is getting ball from a standing start with little roll on at times. But he is still putting in the effort. He isn't going to put the barnstorming runs he does out wide against props but I bet if you could find the OPTA stats he'd do well in metres per carry.

Are you watching the same games as me ? Puletua is not being used as a prop this season from what ive been watching.

His been playing out wide this season and it's been very dissapointing. If he plays any wider this season he'll end up in the stands. Infact i'd say last season when he played 'prop' he was one of our better players..

I dont expect barn storming run but i do expect effort.

I'd agree with your opinion on him.

Not because of lack of effort thou mate. Fozzard is just not the same player anymore but we all knew that when we signed him.

If we had another prop like Tronc we'd be a really hard team to beat.

While I agree about Puletua, I commented at the game about his running, he should be skittling people. But Foz he runs hard and often, we would have accepted the help last year that's for sure.

Tony p is being used in the back row and he's playing outwide. IMO he's played his best games for saints at prop and should stay there.

He has a very laid back attitude(lazy) which means when given the chance to go outwide he sees it as a way of going missing.

When he's prop he has no choice but to stay in the middle and can't hide. He makes good meters when he's prop that gives us good go forward.

2nd top metre making forward for Saints this year, behind Maurie.

What Fozzie is doing is making yards by running onto the ball fast, then going down easy to ensure a quick play the ball.

Personally think he is doing a fine job, and is taking a lot of the pressure off Graham.

That's his most important role IMO.

Foz is just a barger but we so needed a barger all last season when Jammer was ground down to an ankle bone carrying the squad week in, week out.

Tony P, however, strikes me as lazy and should be put in a position where he can't avoid working.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG



I think we are really looking at these players with 3 different styles. Foz with his in your face style, Jammer with his gain momentum style and TonyP with his "big tanker" style. Big Maurie being a combination of all three.
TonyP is quite impressive on defence, he,s probably the best we have in stopping the opposition gaining momentum, once we get the drier grounds he will get better offensively.
Thought Jammer was brilliant Friday night and all our props did OK, can,t remember any of our props being forced backwards which we did with the wakey front row.

I agree with this, tony p has the kiwi laid back attitude(lazy at times), so he should be played prop. He's played his best games at prop IMO.

I on't think he had his best game the other day, but he seems to have been playing well in the previous couple of games in a wider role. His offloading game outwide gives Pryce in particular extra space to break the line.
