I've seen more go forward in Reach Truck Forklift

I've been watching Warrington since 1987 and I can't think of any prop forward we've had in that time that doesn't get involved in fisty-cuffs. If you watch back any of the games from this season he stands away from the pushing & shoving and looks dis-interested.

A few posters on here have likened him to Paul Rauhihi for coming over from the NRL with a big reputation, yet failing on the pitch. But at least Rau got involved and backed-up his team mates.

When we signed him I thought we were signing an enforcer, like Morley. Fail. He's a poor player with no visible passion for the club.

Many posters on here were wetting themselves at the prospect of Roy coming to SL even before he signed for the Wire.....just shows the best policy for the English game is a good youth system & let the over the hill Aussies retire to Bondi Beach instead of coming here for a pension.

He wasn't that bad, he made a few tackles... THATS HIS JOB! He has one of the simplest jobs, take the ball and run. And to flatten an opposing player with the ball. I am not congratulating someone who took the ball in 5 times. He stands away from a first receiver, he doesn't run with another prop backing up, when he does get the ball he immediately tries to get rid of it, Rhys Evens took the ball into the middle and made more yards in the tackle than 'Big Roy' has made all season, he doesn't acknowledge the fans and he backs out of fistycuffs.


An utter waste of time, space and money

Could it be he's playing still half fit and he's taking it lightly after a major op that saw him withdraw from the world cup?

While I'm not defending him the people who should be getting stick are the management who sanctioned this signing and as I've already stated in a previous post what the hell did our so called scout see in him what we haven't seen?

The talk was he went missing then hey presto he's having an operation.

If he is still in recovery from major surgery he's shouldn't be playing matey nice try though

I reckon you all need to watch him a bit more closely then, makes yards after the tackle and stops runners dead when they collide, what do you want him to do, that's his job and if you take the blinkers off you'd see it too, maybe even try to encourage the guy.

Asotasi is just the latest in a long line of established, first grade, international props who have treated our spectators, club and our competition with disdain, arrogance and apathy.

History tells us that the best signings from overseas are hungry, young, promising emergent talents with something to prove, and the desire to up-sticks and cross the world to do it. We have been served well by such players, whilst Asotasi joins the elite club of Roach, Teitzel etc. whose wages are only matched by their laziness.

Asotasi does not make yards after a tackle, and that's only if he ever takes a ball in. Ormsby and R. Evens made more yards and carried more ball in than him last night.

If Asotasi does a Steve Roach in the CC then I'll be happy.

He won't though, unless we fly Sir Leslie Boyd over to do what Boydie did to Roach and point out to him that he is a disgrace to his country.

I used to be a fan of Roach and am surprised that Boyd had said that to him. What a grisely pack we used to have then-Boyd, Tamati, a Roach, Davidson, Roberts, sir Mike Greg.

He runs hard and tackles what more do you want . Don't think he has dropped a ball yet. Don't think I have seen him go 80 yards yet but there is time for those people on here who expect this from a 17 stone 31yrd old forward.
