| Simply outstanding tonight. Sia won us the game, stopping Phelps scoring a certain try by snapping him in half and then teeing up the Mako shark with some sterling centre play.
The more I see the Meli/Sia centre combo the more I like it. Poor Turner got to Meli everytime but could do nothing about the big man scoring. He's doing really well at centre and were it not for a few patted down passes Foster would have had a ton tonight.
The Island boys are just fabulous for us at the moment. TP was like a tank again tonight.
In future we should go for big Island boys instead of Australian's.

I think Sia has looked more like the player we signed two years ago. His first season was complete mess but he's got over that now and looked pretty well.
TP is just pure class.

Absolutely. How important was it that we managed to re-sign him for 2012?

| Do you think the TP signing for you was a saints dominant decision or a Wire rejected deal.
By that I mean Warrington have signed a younger, arguably better, NRL player where TP was going to be played. Do you think that Warrington lost interest or that TP decided he wanted to stay at Saints.
This isn't a troll question and I would like to know your opinion. I know he mentioned he wanted to stay at Saints.

| The thing about signing overseas players is they could be flops, however we already know that TP is a good solid forward and we are not going to be let down by resigning peletua whereas we may have been let down by signing an Aussie

You've answered your own question mate. I genuinely think he wanted to stay and only some family issues were stopping him commit to us. I'd be very surprised if we could match Wire's offer and if that is right, then it's testament to TP for the loyalty he has shown us.

TP made it clear in the press that the only SL club he wanted to play for was Saints. He had to sort out issues at home for which he was granted compassionate leave during the off season. He sorted out those issues and re-signed for Saints. Regardless of what Wire fans thought and whatever money your sugar daddy was throwing around, TP clearly wanted to play for Saints over here and so he is doing.
I wouldn't exchange TP for Waterhouse or anyone else for that matter. He was magnificent for us last night and that isn't the first time he has been so this season.

| I know he mentioned it. But rugby players say things in the press they may not mean. I believe King wanted to be a one club man here and in Aus. Well a nice contract from the bunnies and a reason to return home and he is now a two club man.
Situations change and I can't see a reason TP would stay at Saints over a nice Wire contract if it was on the table; other than loyalty (which has no place in the business of sport).
I am unsure of my opinion. If it was anyone other than Waterhouse I would assume it was TP's decision and not Wires. I just don't know know.

Soliola meli combination definitely looks better than a shenton combo. We don't appear to miss him at all, soliola is a better centre, and we have enough second rowers to cover his change of position.

Terrible trolling. As if Waterhouse is some kind of superhuman monster. He won't be better than Puletua, I'll guarantee that. If he's as good you'll do well. And with a salary cap system Puletua can't earn more from Warrington than he can at Saints. He will also be playing at a better stadium in front of more people and with better training facilities.
Now tell me again why Warrington is so much better?
