Explains why we lost.

He's still a waste of an overseas spot.

How many Saints fans were sorry to see him leave?

Not his biggest fan by any means, but some people need to be careful what they wish for.

Gives 80mins week in week out, and at times performs better than higher paid, more reputable members of the squad

Granted, he hasn't shown a lot of penetration in attack, (who has?) but is second in the tackle count at Leigh this season, and hasn't got injured or suspended. On those criteria, he could be argued to be one of our better signings!

Just my opinion Col, and I'm not privy to the rankings of the pay list.But again I have my thoughts.

That'll be why we're bottom

He is high on the tackle count, but a lot of those will either be 3rd man in, or tackles were he is dominated and puts us on the back foot, because his tackling technique isn't great. He might be better if he played in short spells in the middle.

Sadly, plenty of others have gotten even worse this last few weeks

Re: Vea : Tue Jul 18, 2017 10:23 am  

Everyone should be on a high tackle count - Our completion rate is low, i.e poor discipline, drop ball, Poor kicking game, it all adds up.

Re: Vea : Tue Jul 18, 2017 12:04 pm  

Never/Rarely first in a tackle, opposition look for him close to the line as he waits for someone else to take the impact - just watch the 3rd Huddersfield try as an example of many more this season. Easy to do big minutes when you take nothing out of yourself or the opposition. On a par with 2005 imports imho, when we reach hey lads hey time soon then you would not want to rely on him keeping your job for 2018
