Everything seems very surreal with this. It quite excites me.
Without seeing the back I won't pass comment, but when your 6'7" and 19 stone, you're certainly on the way to being a half decent prop!'"
Sounds to me like the back is the Dom Feunati in all this. He apparently lacks pace.
It's the prop we're really after IMO. He's apparently good enough to play Union for Ireland, but hasn't made it because he's unprofessional, lazy and has a poor work ethic.
Just some opinions I picked up on the tinterweb. Anyone who knows the truth feel free to correct as necessary.

From what I've been told both lads could have made it at union but came a bit disillusioned at the lack of first team opportunities, so decided to give rugby league a go. I think if he'd had a poor work ethic played in the back row in union it would have certainly shown up already in training etc

| Do you think they're likely to feature in Friday's U20 game??

| Would they count as non-fed trained or would that not apply for Irish players?

I'd assume they'd fudge them through as fed trained.

Yeah that would be my guess. Welsh/Scottish players are fed trained so I'd imagine its the same for Irish.

| Given that they are being trained in RL at Saints, surely this makes them Saints academy trained. But at the very least they would be federation trained.

| Interesting the boys have not commented on their signing for Saints anywhere as yet that I've seen?

If they was any good they wouldn't have been allowed to go to league. IMO they will be rubbish at league and will never play first team.
Size dosen't automatically make you a good player and I don't think they will be any good.

If that's the case, why sign them in the first place? It's not like there is any money to be made in Ireland or mass publicity to be made from their signings. Paying them and sending them to France etc is not something the club needs to be doing if they're no good. It's not like United signing Park just for the economic impact or anything like that.

Bloody hell Pete. You can be a right depressing sod at times!
I want that big bloke in our team. I don't care where he came from, so long as he can play the ball, catch, pass and bash the living daylights out of anyone in front of him, he will be a success in my book. What a beast to have in the front line!
(So long as he's not a big soft mummy's boy under all that meat)

I'm doing few weeks off the booze so I'm little depressed.

It sure helps in a prop forward though! If he's an aggressive bar steward on the pitch as well then that's half the battle won without him ever playing the ball!

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Do you remember Stuart Evans?
It didn't help him.
That aside I think it's something to be applauded and worth a try, but I remember reading on here how some fans were excited about Dom Brotherton.
