We need 2 things, strike and yard dog. Since the likes of Scully, Hoops and Talau have left, we've not had enough bash & niggle.

When Perry arrives next season we will have more than enough bash!

I was just thinking that!

I hope we are not going to be disappointed. I've not been that impressed by Soliola and he was supposed to give us some bash. He misses half the time! Hopefully Perry will be more accurate with his bash.

Our pack is excellent and will keep us competitive, but without strike players we will always be 2nd best in the Cup Finals.

I think you being little harsh on Soliola, he's not played much rugby over the last 18 month with pretty bad injuries. I think he showed signs of being a pretty good player for us.

Perry is a top class prop and hard as nails, he loves a punch up!

Soliola was an absolute joke in the Grand Final.

BUT in his defense he has endured a terrible time with his injury. With a proper off season and some proper coaching he should settle down into a quality player. His defense in the game against Warrington at home early in the season was superb.

In the game against Huddersfield he made some massive hits. If he can combine that impact with fewer air shots through picking his moment and being more calm about things he could become a big weapon for us. He mentioned a few times in the press he was desperate to prove himself and he was out to do that.

He will also benefit from the fitness a proper pre season brings, provided he has the self discipline to recognise he needs to get stuck in and not just bloat up in the off season.

He's prob trying a little to hard at the moment, he's missed all year and prob wants to show his team mates, coach and fans what he can do.

Injury is the main factor tho, he looked pretty good against hudds for a guy that's been out for nearly full season.

The clips of him on you tube do tend to be of him punching people!

Yeah, but he does do it with a certain flair, doesn't he?

And this is all he does. He is hired muscle. Bit like keith mason except mason has a bit more go forward. He was like a rag doll at the end of the NRL season, was getting embarassing watching him being tossed around by other props.

This is Josh Perry, the guy who's been selected for NSW and Austrailia, right?
Well, its a good job we've signed LMS to back him up, then.

Are you sure you dont wear Cherry and White underwear? Your comparing an Aussie test prop with Keith Mason? LMAO I now even more convinced your just some dodgy troll posing as a Saints fan
