| Quote: The Chief "I do tend to watch alot of the NRL games too and being completely honest, this season, he doesn't stand out like one of those unbelievable talents that make you lose sleep at the thought of seeing him in the redvee. That said, knowing the strength of the competition, I'm sure it will be a different kettle of fish in SL.
As people have said, his experience will be invaluable to the young guys and he will have a new enthusiasm for the game which will see him step up a gear.
Going slightly O/T if you wanted to see unbelievable freakish talent at FB, Josh Dugan played in the City v Country match yesterday and outplayed Hayne. He's made a handful of appearances for Canberra and may make the NSW team after that performance. Uate (winger from Newcastle) played too and carried on his club form. Look out for him on May 25, Fijian born, built like a brick SH and fast as F - you want to see him return kicks! Michael Jennings too was simply sensational.'"
Let's face it. If he was an unbelievable talent, he wouldn'tbe coming over on the current climate. The best value players are those who aren't at their peak but have the potential to improve to levels we have seen before and know they are capable of. I have mo problems with saints following this strategy . |

Exactly, noone will be getting top tier NRL players in their prime over here unless its exceptional circumstances ala Lyon |

2007 was a rubbish year for Paul Wellens. But last season he was outstanding. Players' form can vary, including by the season. I have no idea whether what people are saying on here about Hohaia is accurate because I haven't watched NRL matches this season but assuming what is being said IS accurate, form comes and goes but class is always there and he showed some class in the Anzac test, and in a position he said he was 'made' to play in rather than one where he feels he is strongest (6).
Based on what I saw yesterday I'm very happy Hohaia is joining us. |

That might change if the Aussies abandoned the policy of banishing all who play elsewhere from rep honours. And in turn that is probably why they don't abandon it! |

its more to do with the salary cap and exchange rate, the top players are creeping towards £400k down under, which is roughly a quarter of the cap here, a team would be mad to spend that on one player |

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 |

Hohaia certainly seems to be a player who divides opinion.

unlike the free speech we allow (to a point Rogue and others!) here, some boards are considerably more "right wing" and would ban me in seconds lol!

Cherry and White is like the Soviet Union - you tow the line or you disappear 
Can they actually ban other mods? |

I can remember the threads , Richards was useless (which he was as a centre), then there was the O'Loughlin out threads too (quite popular IIRC). Funny how things change.
If you wanna test the ban situation just pop on there and create a thread about them cheating their way out of relegation  |

In fact I seem to recall some saying he was the worst import Wigan ever had!
