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.

If anyone's a cart horse this year then Fozzard needs a mention as everytime he run's it in he goes down like a bag of e

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.

Bone idle if you ask me

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.

and that very important. he has a job to do and does it well

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.

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.

He's like a lot of Islander forwards. They play when they can be d.
