Andre Savelio : Mon Mar 28, 2022 8:12 am  

How good is Andre this year? He's the first forward on the teamsheet for me. He's stood out in every game so far. His form has got me thinking about whether an NRL team might come looking for him again.

It's also got me thinking about who he might play for in the world cup. He turned out for the All Stars which suggests he has ambitions to play representative rugby. He'd walk into the England team but his name never gets mentioned. Has be said no? His dad played for Samoa. Could he get in the New Zealand side I wonder?

I was thinking about this yesterday. He has been outstanding, and the doubts over his knees when he first signed are now completely in the past. I don't think there is a more destructive 2nd row in SL than him - eligible for England.

Always liked Dre but his consistency has got better and better as has his fitness

Another fine performance against the pies last night.

Wonder if he’ll get pinged for the scrag on Partington, drove his head into the ground as he spun him down? Mind you, someone needs to give him a good clattering, he’s the new Paul Sculthorpe.

I thought Partington was really good for Wigan, though a week or so back he would definitely been binned.
