I agree with you. I feel the same about Brett Delaney at Leeds, I think he's a poor player too.

Soliola was hyped up to be the best thing since sliced bread when it was announced he was signing for Saints by a few Saints fans too. He's failed to impress me, as of yet, as has Delaney.

Delaney makes Soliola looks like Tallis.

Potter hyped Soliola too, I remember him being really pleased to get him and about what he'd add to the backline. In fairness, he got a bad injury but he's just not a centre, but I guess it's a case now of Saints trying to find a job that he can do now.

Maybe the best is yet to come.

Shaping up to be a good game, lets just hope for no injuries.

Monaghan M now announced in squad

Please please Bluey, listen to this, Soliola is rubbish and should not be picked.

Add to that Puletua is a pile of steaming horse dung and also should not be picked. Please please please pick someone else and save us from those 2 players.

Irony not even needed

Soliola is far from rubbish. He's had a very good season in the second row. He is playing far more minutes than he should be IMO, and that resulted in him playing poorly against Hull. But that game aside he's been very impressive.

The Exiles squad will suffer loads of injuries. The majority will happen before the game begins I feel

2 players of ours will have to come out of the final squad

Is the limit of 3 players or a strict one, or could all 5 players play if Tony said it was okay?

It is funny how there are a lot more NSW player in SL currently that there is Queenslanders. You could almost put a team out consisting of NSW players that have played for the blues over the last 6 or 7 years
1 Hodgson
2 king

I wonder why that is?


13 Fitzgibbon

B Cross

Monas (M) will play as well as Buderus. I think England will havetheir booty handed to them on a plate.

because the queenslanders are too good to come over here, they keep earning a wage over there.

Depends how the Exiles approach it. If serious I reckon they would give Australia a decent game. They could just as easily go into it half hearted and lose to England by 30.
