Aye, but what does DA know when you've the like of Saddened and co on here ?

So he must be be top class player If DA put his name forward. Funny he can't get selected for parramatta and no other team has taken him ?
I just feel we need some players that have proven quality and not so much bargain basement signings. SMD peyroux and Tasi don't really fill me with joy tbh.

I'm not saying he must be top class because DA recommended him, I'm saying the club took the opinions of people they trust to give an honest judgement before deciding to proceed. It's not a case of signing anyone because they've done xyz.
Hohaia was as proven as they come, yet by the end of his contract nothing more than backup.

That's what happens when you sign and World Cup wining NZ fullback on and play him everywhere apart from fullback. We have super Royce to thank for that.
Regarding DA, we could do with him doing a few sessions on defence with us. He really tightened is up in his spell at the club

With a full strength team Josh Jones can't even get a game on the bench. Which means he's a reserve grade player.
The only people here suggesting Peyroux is one of our headline players are the usual dingbats best ignored.
I'll say this again WE ARE REPLACING JOSH JONES.

Crying out for top class prop. Strangely saints also feel we need a prop and last out to 3/4 for next year.
I know Peyroux is to replace Josh Jones but we are replacing squad players. We should be looking a better quality of players who will put pressure on the current first grade players to perform.
The 17 picks it's self as you suggest but that Imo is a bad thing as coaches need healthy competition.
I'll put money on that 17 next year winning zero.

Jesus were not even out of the running for this year and you're already writing us off for next year.
Jones puts absolutely no pressure on the centres this year, and Peyroux will next year, that's an improvement - If he turns to be of similar quality to Quinlan, than Turner may find himself moving as I suggested. SMD can also play in the 3/4s and adds some pressure - and Grace and Wellington will probably be looking for a game or two next year as well. When you compare that to Dawson this year it's an infinite improvement.
Savelio moving to the front row seems like the current plan and he certainly came of age last week. Him, Thompson, Richards and Greenwood are all going to get better and better, and Haggerty is an unknown in this. Davies and Knowles again will be looking to push through and anyone who doesn't perform will see them nipping at the heels. TRex was also rumoured, though I'm not a fan, he'd be an infinite improvement on Flanagan in terms of ability.
Will still have room for another relatively big signing I believe and KC said there's another one to come in, we're not as bad as some people seem to believe.

Can I ask where you have seen Peyroux play and how many times ? I imagine you've been to the games and seen jones the last three seasons?
Just wondered how you can compare?
Also, how many u19s games have you attended this year ? (Or you going is saints website game reports) ?
You wanted us to sign Clare from Cas few month back, im pretty sure that couid happen as nobody wants him next year

Clare signed for Bradford and most Cas fans were very disappointed he didn't get more chances in front of Channing and Gibson but hey ho.
Given Long will have worked with Peyroux in the Samoa set up last year for the 4N I'm trusting him to be far more aware than anyone on here to be able to compare and contrast him with Jones. The fact he was selected for the Cook Islands (I think) for the 2013 World Cup and then the 2014 Samoa team aren't bad credentials at all to have, and are seemingly completely ignored by those already desperate to write off Peyroux as a signing before ever seeing him. You know the same that happened with Vea last year. Wondering how you think that Peyroux is a terrible player and still repeatedly be involved with international setups - it's not like Samoa were uncompetitive.
As for the 19s, you're the one saying Grace is getting a first team contract next year. It's standard practice at saints for a player to have his debut 1 year, 5-7 games next, 10-15 the year after and then full first grade after that.
This in danger of becoming "I'm a better fan than you" so I'm gonna leave it there.

| Who gives a damn about who's seen who? Will the answer make Peyroux a better or worse player?
The only question that matters is - has the club seen Peyroux?
It appears so. What's more, it appears they are more than happy to give him a contract - [ias the replacement for a player who has only ever been a replacement.[/i
Oh, and offering to bet money AGAINST your OWN CLUB is bad.

I've not once said Peyroux is terrible. Can you please show me where I wrote this please?
We tried very hard to keep jones. If Jones has signed then we wouldn't be signing Peyroux so that suggests to me that we rate jones higher than Peyroux.
I'm pretty sure I was told he's played 3 games for samoa which isn't enough time to see how good he is really is it ?
I hope he turns out to be a world beating player but his record doesn't look great tho, I'm sure you'd agree on that ? You can get lucky with these types but if he's half decent Id imagine he'd be playing for someone in the NRL wouldn't he?
The team you've picked earlier in the thread contains players that you have posted need another year next year as still only 20 yrs of age. What makes them suddenly good enough to play week in week out in 2016 ?
I'm just not very excited with what we brought in so far for 2016. Tasi will be o ok replacement for Mose as he will give us more game time but not the impact mose "can" give but I'm ok with tasi for mose.
I'm not thrilled with Peyroux for jones but only time will tell on this one. We've also lost lance, wello and flash that also need replacing. They might have not been the force they once was but they are experinced players that have there and done it.
Id like a good 3/4 added who can attack but more importantly I think we need a good hard experinced prop.
