Without being uncharitable to Hohaia - McDonnell backed up more plays from the full-back position in ONE GAME than Lance did in his entire Saints career.

Support play really wasn't Lance's forte. Which leads me to believe some injury or a succession of such took a lot out of him in the NRL. If you watch him playing aged 17/18 for the Kiwis he backed up everything. And he was Rapid.

Yes, in place of Roby apparently.

I knew we was working on this so it's mo surprise. I can see the reason behind it but I thought he was pretty poor when was here last season (I know he grabbed few tries but that don't make you good player). His kick returns was worse than Wello with a broken hip and his last man defence wasn't up to quality either.

We do need a fullback and he's cheap, let's hope he gets some form and has good season. Best part of the deal, is its only to end of the season.

Before I went away it was for this season. If it's for next season then we have well and truely lost the plot and give in to a avg players demands.
