Pipe down you

You've signed yourselves a good 'un in Lama, regardless of what Neil Barker says.

I suspect the vast majority of Saints fan dont believe we've signed a world class player. In fact I bet the majority have hardly seen him play and are just hoping he will do a good job for us. For starters I'm more hopeful than expectant

Not worried about his form at Salford where - along with several other players - morale seems to have taken a nosedive.

A change of environment will do him a world of good. Seems physically capable. Unfortunately he'll have to live with incessant comparisons with Mose which will likely be the making or end of his Saints career.

I think I'll like Tasi, he seems to have a bit of spark and aggression in defence, which is something we miss. He'll not bring the massive plays that Masoe did, but they didn't happen every set.
Perhaps SAvelio will have developed sufficiently to now bring the magic and Tasi will be the extra grafter we missed at times last year.

It's not like we're pinning all our hopes on Tasi - after Walmsley Amor and Savelio , I see Tasi being the 4th prop in our starting 17. Battling with Greg Richards for his spot

I'd put walmsley into that impact role. He can do big minutes but walmsley and savellio coming on after amor and tasi have soaked up what the opposition can do will be a threat to any side.

I would also make sure Vea is on the pitch when Amor and Tasi are in tandem to beef up the forward attack.

I got torn to shreds when I said this last year. I said use Alex as impact and start with mose as mose had no impact for 90% of the season.

However, I've changed my mind as we need Alex on to start as he's the only player with any go forward

Amor for me gets lost in Alex's shadow when played together- he showed at Leeds that he's still 'got it' . I'd like to see them interchange with each other more next year with Savelio and Tasi doing the same

I don't know, but I suspect that Amor played much of last season with an injury that was hampering him. I'm hoping to see him back to his old self after a full off-season.
