| Quote: Saddened! "Terrible trolling. As if Waterhouse is some kind of superhuman monster. He won't be better than Puletua, I'll guarantee that. If he's as good you'll do well. And with a salary cap system Puletua can't earn more from Warrington than he can at Saints. He will also be playing at a better stadium in front of more people and with better training facilities.
Now tell me again why Warrington is so much better?'"
It isn't a troll. It is a genuine question. With Matt king leaving there would be a massive packet for TP if he came to Wire (who have won more while he has been in super league than Saints) and will most likely be more than Saints can offer. Especially having biscuits such as Perry in the team.
Waterhouse is considered better than TP. We will see how well Trent does and there is no guarantee that he will be as good as he has been in the NRL but if he is then he will undoubtedly put more in than TP. Saying that I mean that TP is good at the line against Myler but has been anonymous during the tough spots recently. Puts in the hard yards but rarely in his own half (from what I have seen: I haven't seen as much as some Saints fans. I have probably been more Saints games than a lot of their fans)
If I answered why I think Wire is better there will be a stupid tit for tat. How about you tell me why TP would stay at saints (4th) instead of current challenge cup holders and top of the league WArrington (who would pay him more) instead of cause they were the only top 4/5 team offering please.

He was giving it large at Warrington and was fundamental to our game against Hull. Stop talking out of your arris.

I unfortunately couldn't get to the Hull game. However, I gave a balanced view of him in the many performances I have seen. I would like him at Warrington but he hasn't been amazing from what I have seen. If we had signed him I would have been optimistic, though.
I would be interested in what order you *edit* ranked your forwards. And even more so where you ranked him out of the forwards in super league.
However, my point was not about the quality of TP; we can argue about that all day. My question pertained to why TP wouldn't sign at Wire and instead stayed at Sts.

Agreed. Maurie was another good example. There would appear to be a good number playing RU that seem to be ideal for RL - especially in the backs where the transition is less of a problem. I suspect the salaries may be a little less as well. They also seem to like the lifestyle offered by Eccleston.

| Quote: Saddened! "We were terrible. There were large chunks of the game where we were dominated in the pack, which was not helped by us only having 15 players and Josh Perry getting injured.
Whenever we did reach the half way line we knocked on. Roby was terrible in this regard, every offload or pass he attempted ended up a knock on. Hull were no better mind, knocking on whenever they got the field position to take control of the game.
TP, Sia, Meli and Moore did well for me.'"
Roby was very doubtful for the hull game. Royce didn't want him to play but robes put his hand up and played.
His eye socket injury has got infected and causing swelling around the eye. I was talking to him last week and he looked like the elephant man.

Look as far as I'm concerned, TP was offered a 1 year deal from Saints, he had trouble at home and so was not sure if he could stay, so starting looking at options in Oz, because of this, wire tried to come in with a steal and offered a 2 year deal. With a 2 year deal better than a 1 year, he had to consider it. So Saints offered a 2 year deal and that gave Tony what he wanted. He either did not get the offer he wanted from Oz or did not get an offer. So he took the Saints 2 year deal. At the same time Saints were looking at Trener house and Laffranci. But we could not have all 3 due to the overseas ruling. With TP signing, that's a prop on the books. Laffranci offers Royce the balance he wants in a loose forward, so Waterhouse was not an option as we are pretty ok for 2nd rowers (Moore, Wilkin, Soliola and Flannery). I would expect Flannery to get another 1 year rolling deal after this years performances, Moore and Wilkin have been really good.

His eye infection does look awful. I would imagine he'll be rested for the Wakey game to give time for it to heal. It will never heal on a rugby pitch, that's for sure!

That's what Royce told him, if he plays against hull and his eye is not better then he'll be left out of the wildcats game but knowing robes he'll insist on playing.

Robes doesn't get the final word on that though so if Royce puts his foot down then Robes will just have to take a seat in the stands! I hope he puts his foot down. We want Robes fully fit for the business end of the season and infections need time away from grotty places like rugby pitches. Besides, we don't want to be a one man team. Surely we have the staff to win a match without Robes on the field? We do on paper anyway.

Royce wanted him to sit out the hull game but robes insisted on playing.

It doesn't matter. The coach is the man to make the decision. Robes can insist all he wants! Honest. The final word as to who plays is down to the coach.

Yep. Royce allowed it. He made the final decision, not Roby.
