Don'e get me wrong i'm not sat he thinking hes playing particularly well. I'm just thinking he has not played bad enough to warrant his own thread. And yes I know hes probably one of the biggest earners and with the biggest rep. But he seems to tackle well , He's scored more tires than the other forwards and he's not really put a foot wrong.

So for someone who's not really playing 100% I can safely say he's going the right way about playing into form.

If he wasn't the big close season signing he wouldnt have this thread. Silvertail wolf was (i think) suggesting that we should be grateful to have such a big name player join us, rather like Morley etc.

The problem just goes round and round for most and that is that he hasn't ripped up any trees. Whereas Cooper appears to be giving it a good go as did the Burgess boys. I guess most of us just want to see some fire in that huge frame, a hurtful tackle or three and/or a few good off loads per game. Not a lot to ask? Its a given that this is not expected evry minute of every game.

I agree with the "first year syndrome" comment, is a pure cop out. There is nothing to stop these guys going on the field and ripping it up other than their mindset. A twenty year old relative newcomer at this level you could cut some slack, but a guy of this stature nah, he's having a holiday pure and simple.

I hope you are right Bobbie as do most on here, plenty of "I hope he makes me eat my words" type prefixes rather than people wanting the guy to fail to prove their point.

His problem is he looks lack lustre, has a big reputation, big earnings, made a daft "lesser intensity than down under" comment when he arrived and a majority view that would have kept Carvell if we were an Ebbsfleet

Perhaps somebody told him not to bother until we get around to July / Aug ?

He hasn't helped himself by getting off on the wrong foot with reference to a holiday.

Can someone post this reference to a holiday Please ??

Yes, where did that rumour about him 'taking a holiday' come from ?

Its seems everybody is going on about this "holiday" comment but no one seems to be able t point us in the direction of it ..

He said it on the radio

I doubt Roy Asotasi stated on the radio. "I've come to warrington , Tourist central of the universe. For a holiday"

On his first interview. Radio Manc I think it was.

In this interview by any chance ? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/23145002 Roy asotasi . "My main reason to join warrington was for a new challenge " If it was headed Roy asotasi "my main reason to join warrington is Danny's Kitchen" I think we might be getting somewhere

Well, there is nothing like a good piece of investigative journalism.

So it was all made up then ?

He did say it was an adventure for him and his family. On the same note I didn't hear Sam Tomkins saying I'm just coming to play rugby. I'm not even going to entertain austrailia and New Zealand. I'd take Wigan pier over Sydney harbour anyway ..

I didn't realise Sam knew Wigan Pier, and he will be mortified to learn he want's to drop him in Sydney Harbour.
