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.'"
a) Jones has become and out and out pack man rather than a centre/ utility. The club tried hard to keep him, but it's entirely possible we'd of still brought Peryoux in, with Jones taking Flanagans spot. My point is more Peyroux would have never played for Samoa if he wasn't any good. I think Saints have clearly changed their tact in signings recently, and so far they've been proven right regardless of what's written online before hand, I trust that the right people have seen enough to have made this judgement. Peyroux may well be that 3/4 you want.
b) I think the club now has the intention of: Amor, Walmsley, Tasi, Savelio, Richards, Haggerty (and Nzongou). Who is available who could have performed better than Savelio in the semi? Good enough = old enough as the saying goes.
c) that doesn't mean we don't need to bring someone else in - and the club has said so. We will sign another player this year - but I don't expect a superstar, as cap will still be tight (losing 100k due to the removal of various allowances, walsh no longer being split with Penrith, major upgrades to several youngsters), but another solid signing is expected as far as I'm concerned. Whether that's Trex (God help us) and Savelio as a front rower, or whether we've found a front rower (Kopczak still hasn't committed to anyone, or were breaking the transfer fee record to bring the ginger home ) and Savelio will be moving wider next year I don't know.
d) the only player in the team I posted earlier who was 20 was Savelio, and he was the best player we had just about on Friday? Him, Greenwood, Thompson, Percival and Richards have all played enough this year to be considered solid first team members, despite their age
e) more than happy to accept we haven't made any superstar signings this year, I'm excited to see Percival, Thompson, Savelio, Greenwood start to push for England, and Walmsley and Makinson to really shine as superstars. Hopefully the academy will throw up the next few gems as well. Surely that's better than a broken superstar from the NRL whose as likely to flop as be brilliant? Maybe the club feels like it's been burnt one too many times like that before?

You said that Thompson, Richards and Sav shouldn't yet be first team player week in and week out didn't you due to their age ? We both agree that Richards and Thompson have had a little 2nd season syndrome and need to be manged still? In that case a good experinced prop would do us for one two seasons while the young props mature and get more experience.
Sav Imo has put in some awesome performances this season against good teams like wolves, wigan and leeds but he's still very young and will be a little hit and miss but I've said for years he's the real deal.
Clubs need to build on on success and champion teams and I just feel we will be weaker next year and few teams will be stronger in which is very tight super league.

I don't think I've ever said that? The team only needs 2/3 of them in the side each week, which would leave them each on about 20 games next season which is in line with where 3rd season kids need to be. They still need some management, but should be getting closer and closer to permanent members - the debate is when the training wheels come off I suppose. I think we're near enough to agreeing, 1 more signing, who is more solid than spectacular and we're all set to go!
I think we have a lot of players who will be better next year than they are this year, and are stronger with just the same group of players! One year we might even get lucky with injuries and now be in constant crisis! Hopefully Walsh can recapture some first season form (and defence) in the off season (but that's a whole other debate!) and burns can find some attacking fluency as a result. The only qualm I have is why we gave Dawson another 2 years (and who will be first choice fullback)!

| I have been trying to remember who Peyroux reminds me of. A leggy runner with a big upper body build.
It has just occurred to me Tawera Nikau.
I think he is a good player and someone I have liked while watching the Warriors. A good signing by the club.

But he doesn't play? I've taped every Warriors game since he was rumoured to be joining us and he's not played once. I've watched several before that to see how Tomkins was getting on and again he wasn't there. I can find some vague references to him him playing from the bench sometime in early 2014, but that's about it.
A lad I know who spends a lot of time in Australia reckons he's a slow version of Gelling.

The Warriors are the only NRL team in New Zealand. That's the kind of monopoly which makes even Brisbane fans slightly envious. Given the enormous competition for first team places I imagine there are a ton of players who'll never play a single game and yet could easily do a job in SL.

What does that make Josh Jones?
