Poor. Made an impression v Wigan playing in the 2nd row for Hull that seemed to spark Wigan's interest enough to give him a three year deal with the option of a fourth. We he arrived he was played at prop as he had been at Hull for a while and he never looked as effective in that position for either club.
Has an offload but never really hurt the opposition going forward, nothing special in defence and struggled to make the squad here behind some far less experienced players. Apparently he had personal issues that may have affected his performance but if that is so, I think he must have had them all the time he was here so I am not 100% convinced that can excuse all his time here.
If he ends up playing well for Manly good for him but I would be surprised if he did. |

That said, seeing how Sam Moa went from waste of space to superman at the Roosters, maybe Manly will find the key to unlocking the potential.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

I've read that about Moa on a couple of occasions and I think the Hull FC fans would confirm that not to be the case. He was excellent in his last season at Hull and was being chased by Wigan and a couple of other superleague clubs as well as having a good deal on the table from Hull. He'd come over as an overweight average Joe but had worked hard on his fitness and really turned his career around whilst in superleague.
He has kicked on to the next level at the Roosters but he didn't leave the UK as some useless pudding only for the Roosters to work miracles with him. |

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain
coach.
