A more likely scenario is that Manu may have verbally agreed in principle but one of the parties has got cold feet. :wink:

No he didn't. Warrington had to pay a transfer fee for him to be released.

Re: Rumours thread. : Wed May 16, 2012 5:47 am  
Just a thought but With Shenton reportedly leaving. Lance homesick. It could be that the club has recognised poor signings and adjusted suitably. People love to bag the club for making poor choices, but when we signed Shenton he was a nailed on international, doing great stuff at Cas. Who was to know he would stagnate with us.

Perry too an NRL prop still doing the business when signed but then after being signed got injured and never really recovered.

Lance was a bit of a bad one, but once again whilst the wrong length of contract for the wrong position, you would think an NZ international would offer a bit more than we have seen, for example we signed scully in a position of LF, he then played alot at half back.

It's what happens when you make such poor choices with your coaching staff recruitment. Everything post-Anderson has been a nightmare, both player and staff recruitment.

Lance was an awful signing. He's never been a good player either. He survived in the NZW side for so long in the NRL because he was versatile. He could play reasonably well in several positions. Most seasons he wasn't first choice anywhere but second choice in so many positions that he ended up playing almost every game. His performances at fullback for NZW over the last few seasons should have been looked at by Saints, he was absolutely woeful. His lack of experience in the halves was also a big concern that the club ignored and is paying for now. People point out the fact that he's an international, but again, it's only because of his versatility.

His best position is clearly hooker for me. People say he's a fullback, but he was terrible in the NRL at fullback, youtube is full of Hohaia Meli-moments. But we've got Roby, so why he was signed is an absolute mystery to me.

Recruitment, has gone out the window since Eric Ashton died.
