Due to our quota, I don't think we were in much of a position to sign anyone else, although I would have preferred to sign Griffin or even Lynch who, I think, are both off contract.

| Decent signing and a solid player, did well for us before heading to Oz. I'm not gutted he has signed for Saints, don't think he'd get in the Wigan team now.

| I thought he was Viking bound. Suprised he has gone to Saints; then again he will have a couple of years NRL experience behind him.

| good signing, utility forward who will have benefitted from his time at Wests, would have liked to see him at Widnes and not Stains like

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

| Good signing, I would have liked to have signed him but we have an abundance of quality second rowers.

Would have been no reason for us to sign him, we are over subscribed in that position already like you said!
Fell away in OZ never got his place back but i think he could do well if he gets a chance, depends how over a year of reserve games has affected him
At least hes english!

| Think he'll be a good solid Super League player but nothing special. When he left Wigan he could have been anything but for some reason its just not worked for him over there. If I was a Saints fan i'd be abit wary of the fact that hes not made it over there and is coming back, players off the top of my head who I remember doing that: Richie Mathers, Jordan Tansey and Chris Thorman.

Our coach has coached him and knows him so I doubt any of us will worry about that side of things. It's more the fact that he is a second rower. We have an abundance of them at Saints already, home grown. We need a prop and not yet another second rower, regardless of how versatile! Still, I suppose it's wait and see time.
Has he been injured all season? It's just that that is generally a prerequisite for joining Saints these days.

Thats exactly what we were saying about the Hoffman signing last year. Maybe it will turn out the same for you and he will become a fans favourite

| Useful squad player for us in 2009, but would never have got into the side ahead of Hansen, J. Tomkins, Bails & Lockers when they were fit (though he did a great job when Bailey was injured). I think he went to Oz mainly for personal reasons, though, so maybe something's happened there that has made him decide to come back?

| The fact he's going to Saints won't cloud my judgement on him that he's a quality player. We simply don't need him bit that doesn't mean he isn't a good player. He's a workhorse but has got superb hands and he'll get stuck in.
I'd liken him to Lockers or Wilkin in that he does the tough stuff but with some skills thrown in. He's not in their league but he's of that type and he'll go well at Saints.
Good luck to him.

| Hes decent and I think if we didnt have so many SRs we probably would have signed him back ourselves.

Better player than Flannery would you say? That's who I would see as his main opposition for a starting spot - not going to displace Soliola or Wilkin in the back row.

I would say so yes but obviously doesn't have vast expierence which Flannery has.
