Reading an Australian forum regarding his departure and the posters there reference his mentoring abilities. States his influence on the younger Burgess'

Still rubbish.

Played in 14 out 15 games for table topping Souths this season, but apparently he's past it, injury prone and will be taking up a huge wedge of the cap. Gutted we didn't get Eddy Pettybourne instead.

Asotasi looks like a marquee signing compared to what the Wigooners have just signed.

Asotasi has lasted less than 12 minutes for Souths against the Warriors today before being substituted and during that time looked out of it

I don't think he even touched the ball? Appears to have struggled this year however I am sure he will turn the corner.

He always plays a short opening stint and returns again before HT. Stats of 10 carries for 94m and 20 tackles with none missed over 35 minutes. No errors or penalties conceded and no line breaks or offloads.

I would have said a good and solid, if unspectacular, performance from big Roy and the stats supports that. A similar type of player to Gaz, but I'd say he'll take Mozza's role of the experienced pack leader next year. He's only missed 1 game so far this year too so hopefully with any luck his serious injuries are well and truly behind him.

This threads name should be changed to 'Roy Watch.'

Virtually all our signings come in on a wave of hysterical excitement, Roy seems to be getting washed ashore like a piece of unwanted flotsam.

I have never seen him play, but surely TS knows what he is doing ?

I smell Rauhihi Mk II here. And I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

Was thinking the same myself

. He will go down with the other flops who Smith has signed like, Solomona, Brett, Atkins, Myler, Atkins, Mathers, Higham, Ratchford, Hill et al.

Atkins so good they named him twice lol

You know the words, join in, "If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere, It's up to you Atkins, Atkins".
