Steve Menzies is 37 and must be most influential player currently in SL - PW will carry on,if he wants to.....age isn' a barrier

Hohia is a great signing and can play almost anywhere

paul wellens is no steve menzies lmao

of course,but age isn't a barrier - yes Paul has lost the pace but I still feel he has at least one more season at FB in him,unless injury or someone more consistent comes along



Back to SM - any chance of him being Man of Steel on current form ?



this is a serious question btw !

This is precisely the reason why we have a lack of options for the England across the board.



Jonny Lomax is just getting settled in the No.7 jersey and looks awesome and then they go and sign a Kiwi to play in his position next season.

I think Leon Pryce has got more to worry about than Lomax.

A



Leon is out of contract this year so its more likely to be him that leaves, Jonny will stay and get a starting spot in the team.

Personally I rate the Huntley Hurricane, good signing. OTOH another overseas signing <sigh>

At least it's a top class signing rather than the dross that we used to sign up a few years back. I'd assume that Meli will be off at the end of the season? Which leaves Saints overseas players as Soliola, Perry, Hohaia, Flannery and Puletua.



Compare that to 2005 when it was Gray Viane, Maur'ie Fa'asavalu, Darren Albert, Vinnie Anderson, Jason Hooper and Willie Talau.

Not a very good player, and old. And a four-year contract. I reckon if we signed him, we'd be slated.

He's 28

Give over, he would have been a great signing for Widnes.



Whether he's a good signing for Saints depends on where we play him - don't rate him as a 7 and would rather Lomax was given the shirt.

So poor he's represented NZ (world champs and four nations champs...)
