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

To be fair, I rate Mason very highly. Always did.

I think the mod's need to look into who MacBlondie really is?

My thoughts exactly

He's only played 6 games!!!

We know who he is, and as far as I can see here, he's done nothing wrong but offer an opinion to which you don't agree. If that was a bannable offence, well, I'd be talking to myself on here.

You having a laugh?

Perry is a top class prop, he's big, tough and can play in good spells. IMO last year and the start of this year he was in top 3 props in the world.

Thrown round like a rag doll! Ask ben cross what happens when you try to throw the rag doll called perry about.

He missed the bank end of the year and only came back for the last 3 games.

So? In the context of 2010 season, that's probably a lot!

Well, for a start, he won't be fully match fit until next season. Personally I'd give him next season and see where we stand then.

Yeah he hasn't done anything bannable. And i wasn't referring to his difference in opinion. I am referring to the fact that nearly all of his posts are putting saints down, always criticising the players or the team. He always puts other clubs before his own. I'm not the only one who's picked up on this. If you know he is a genuine, pessimistic Saints supporter i will make no more mention of it because i'm sure we can trust you to sniff out any pretenders.

Josh Perry a top class prop? Take it from someone who watches him almost every week. Perry is anything but top class. He has never been in the top 3 props in the world at any stage of his career. Even at Manly both Jason King and Brent Kite are far better props.

In the past two seasons, Josh Perry hasn't averaged more than 80m a game and hasn't made more than a 100m a game since 2005.

The fact that Perry has represented Australia and NSW is a travesty and is indicative of selectors policy of picking players from winning teams regardless of ability.

In his two games for NSW he has only made 113m in total, including the first game of this year where he only made 38 metres in 7 runs as a starting prop, before Bellamy benched him and then dropped him for Game 2.

Perry will do well and will no doubt be a useful asset but don't kid yourself that you are getting a world-beater.

I think what we've (hopefully) got is a big, tough defender in the middle of the park who's sheer size will help dominate the ruck and trundle the ball up for solid yards in attack.
Not that its hard, but I seem to remember him looking pretty good for the Aussies. He's a good age as well.

Its interesting that you also mentioned Brent Kite, as we were rumoured to be chasing him on more than one occasion.

Interesting post.
Could you please post your views (maybe on the Wigan board) on Lima, Hoffman and Finch, as you obviously have seen far more of them than we have.
