| Graham and Puletua starting, Fa'asavalu and Fozzard off the bench and Hargreaves in reserve is a good mix. Hopefully we will see Frodsham or Emmitt (or both) make a breakthrough aswell.

As long as he is offering something that we have'nt got, then its good business.
And, in this case it is a hard work ethic that will take the weight of James Graham's shoulders as well as professional experience that will benefit the promising young forwards that we have.
A good signing by Saints

| Why are we signing him for next year? There is one simple answer: because we missed him this year.

Agreed.
Knocking the signing of an experienced prop, when we're short there, is madness.

| If we sign another prop I'll be made up with this piece of business. Letting Foz go was a gamble that has backfired big time, so I can see no harm on having him back for one season, assuming he's not on a big wedge.
If this is all the firepower we're bringing in up front, however, we'll be in exactly the same boat next year that we're in now. Foz, at this stage of his career, should really only be our fourth choice prop, and I don't see him as a replacement for Cayless.

The key here is that it allows us to move Bryn down to 5th choice. I hate bagging players, as he does give his all whenever he plays, but he offers nothing going forward whatsoever. Now we have Fozz, a man who loves the club and the fans and will respond.
People moaned when we signed Anderson and Kevin Ward, look how they turned out.

Just said on our board your adding an experienced workhorse prop to more explosive ones in Graham, Fa'savalau and Puleutua. He will help those guys get that bit more rest so they can add more impact whilst they're on the field.
It seems a shrewd move.

I do believe this is your second warning for talking sense on this board! One more and you're gone!

| Size and experience in one signing. Exactly what Saints have been missing.

| I'll be glad to see Fozzy back in the Red Vee. Hopefully be able to put in some of those big runs that we have missed. Will be a shame for the salary cap though, spending all that money on tape.

| Fozz still had a year of his contract to run in Yorkshire. I wonder if Saints had to buy him out of it. If not then why were Rovers in such a hurry to get shut of him?

The pre match injections were costing a fortune
Seriously though, i think he'll do a job for you.

He'll have been on a big chunk of cap and has struggled to get a start at ours.
