coley always was good at salford had a dip in form in season we signed him, but this guy just nothing but a penatly machine for me

I don't know why I'm getting involved in this and perhaps it's taking this slightly off topic, but I do despair about some peoples opinions about RL. Lima didn't set the world alight in his first few games but since then he's been excellent. 90m+ per game is not a plodder.

v Warrington
Metres - 115m
Tackles - 20
Missed tackles - 1
Carries - 13
Errors - 0

Mossop made 1 more metre than him in 4 more carries. Is he a plodder?

He's an impact player because you think he is. No one from the club labelled him as a direct replacement for Feka. He does 60mins. Against one team earlier in the year we had no props and he played 70+mins with a strapped up calf in the second half. Now don't think I'm saying he's as good as Fielden in his prime but he's certainly a lot better than you're giving him credit.

Rant over. Back on topic please

hes done ok last few games but needs to do alot more for me

Like what? What more would you like him to do? Burst through every tackle and make 40+ metre a carry? Grow up. Jeff is our 2nd best prop behind Mossop.

He doesn't feature in the top 25 for penalties conceded. www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2011 Just give him a chance.

Woeful signing. I hope to God it's only a 1-year deal.

Just been looking at the stats also. If you don't rate him as a player fair enough, but why label him as a penalty machine, when the stats show us he isn't. As RG says, give the lad a chance. It's roundly accepted that Agar is a poor coach. With a better coach you may well see a different Lauaki

Is Noble back in charge.

If it's true (I'm not accepting it until it's confirmed by the Wigan club) then we have to give the lad a chance. He's not the penalty machine some make him out to be, and under a good coaching team in 2012 (anything is better than Agar) I'm sure he could be a shrewd signing.

Can't see him displacing anyone already here without massive effort though.

He'll be at a more disciplined environment (I'd imagine) at Wigan.

So long as he can keep his cool and do what he does best, he'll be a good signing.

god people do get jumped on here for having a differing view,
terrible signing in my opinion, and its not even confirmed so its not happened yet

We have enough props, and each are better than him.

We also have 1 retiring, and 2 who will be coming back off long term injuries.

n they are still better than him,
