At the moment it just a loan for a month it isn’t permanent, not yet anyway.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the deal lasted until the end of season.

I also wouldn’t be shocked if we brought in another back row forward at some point soon if we can.

Has someone at the club won the lottery or something?

Another back row forward...to add to...

Ashurst, Kirmond, Batchelor, Horo, King, Crowther...Randell as a 13.....

Wouldn't say we was short in that department and would be spending money we didn't really need to in my eyes?

Sau is a centre
We have no outside back cover at all, if mcb got injured for example who would replace him
He's the perfect signing
Tonnes of experience too

I’m well aware where Sau plays musson, and why we signed him...I gave my thought on it a few posts back...

Maybe I should have used the quote feature but I was replying to sacred cow about signing another back row forward!

Isn't he the guy that Reece had in his back pocket the other year?

If Pauli can manage the minimum, if not the bare minimum on the field, has anybody else wondered what his attitude is like off the field?
CC might just want him out of the camp.

We appear to base our opinion on PP because of one performance and criticism. To make it acceptable to some we suggest he may be a problem off the field. We forget that not that long ago he played 76 minutes. I watched him against Widnes, I don’t remember him missing any tackles and in return was difficult to actually tackle.
I would say let’s not get carried away and take it in face value we needed a centre and we needed PP to get game time. If he had a problem we would not have signed him again last season.

Good bit of business I say.

I think that we have got all we can out of Pauli and our patience has run out

Ahhhhh right

Yes please use the quote function
It looked like you thought Sau was a back row

No he's the guy some said that about but many thought it had either been the other way round or at best a very even match up. I'm sure the posts are still available.

Excellent post

It makes sense certainly in the short term I think we can all agree on that.

PP will always split opinion but we are not short in the forwards especially with the imminent return of Huby and Ashurst and the rise of Crowther. Also Hirst now looks competent at this level whilst King imo has been a great all action signing.

The backs are decimated. TJ and Arundel won’t play again this year. Tupou will but how long will it take for him to find his form? MCB is a winger, he’s to much pace to be in the centres. I think Kershaw is doing well but he’s still green and will need resting.

We need that punch in the wide channels and Junior has been offering that for years.

What happens after the month who knows but this looks one hell of a good sticking plaster for now. Shrewd I’d call it.
