Short bursts of action shouldn't be a problem as long as there are others who can put in longer stretches.

Maurie only played short spells really but had 3 other very effective props in the 17 with him which allowed that.

That was the difference with Feka at Wigan, at the time he should have been the 4th Impact prop but was in fact their main man but couldn't back it up with enough minutes.

From the videos I would be more than happy to see him at Saints playing with LMS, Walmsley, Clough etc

I think he will do well at saints a other big monster , that hits and tackles hard and by the looks of it he don't care who it is

Can you amagine him hitting rat boy , we can all wish

Would make my day if he put in a big boomer on Ryan Bailey.

He could be the impact player we've been missing since Fa'asavalu. As always with Saints though, I'll believe it when it's official.

...which, at the rate this Walsh deal is taking, could be sometime in 2017.

Visa applications take time. Don't be so miserable.

Having just read the Leeds game stats, it would be nigh on impossible for him to be less effective than josh perry.

Agreed but many people were salvinating about Perry before he came.

And I was one of them. I even thought that in his first season, between his injuries, he was a lot better than people were saying, but as we've got further through his three years, he's given us less and less.

On Monday he gave us 2 drives for 8 yards. Now, as has been posted, its not his choice to sub him after 15 mins and not bring him back, but still, a signing would have to be f wonderous levels of e to make less impression than he's currently doing.

He is truly shocking and needs a gigantic kick!

I can say with a very high level of confidence that we could get an amateur player out of the National Conference who would make more than 2 drives for a massive total of 8 yards and who would be fit enough to last 15 minutes at SL level. Quite frankly the guy is a disgrace to his profession at the moment and he really needs to take a look at himself.

His stats are shocking but on the other hand he only plays 15 mins.

Have you got a good, disciplined conditioner?

That's the saints fans way, they can't wait for us to sign a player, then a year later slag the board off for poor recruitment. I'm Manu, walmsley and turner we did some great business, ok, we really needed a hb but you can't magic one out of thin air.
