Barring injury, can't see Perry achieving match fitness until about 5 super league games, might be better to judge him then just before the Easter period. Sia Soliola is showing his potential now, Perry still needs time to up his game in what is a long season.

Hopefully Perry will improve, but Ive got to say Im not impressed at all.
Looks lazy in defence, giving away too many penalties.
If this is due to fitness hopefully that will be sorted because looks like he could come up some handy offloads.

hes no james graham the other aussie laffranchi is it? looked good for you tonight seems solid

Re: Perry : Fri Feb 10, 2012 10:48 pm  

Thought he had (perry) a good second half, took the ball up well with a few offloads.

Re: Perry : Fri Feb 10, 2012 10:49 pm  

With Perry looks a case of getting his fitness and confidence up. However he is a good offloader of the ball and does make meters in the collision.

Made plenty of tackling when he was on as well.

Laftranchi is looking a very good buy. Very much a high quality workhorse

Laffranchci looks like he's going to be very very good player for us this year.

I think perry looks very suspect in defence and teams are going do spot sets on him and I think he could be a liability in defence. When teams work hints. The likes of burrows or tomkins runs at him he will struggle.

I know I occasionally extract the urine, but I thought Perry and Laffranchci both looked very average tonight. That Saints pack looks poor apart from Roby and Puletua, although Dixon was my mom.

Sia was top class again tonight, he's started the season with a bang!

Laffranchci when he's on the field is good but for some reason he's led off the field for long periods. I think he'll be good player.

Perry was a top class prop when we signed him and was first choice Aussie prop but he looks very very sluggish and is flat footed in defence which concerns me. I just wonder if he can get his fitness back. At the moment I have to say, I honestly can't see him getting back to what he was.

I think we defo need a good quality prop.

Re: Perry : Fri Feb 10, 2012 11:27 pm  

I thought he looked a bit heavy.

Re: Perry : Fri Feb 10, 2012 11:30 pm  

Perrys shirt got lifted up part way through the second half and he's carrying plenty of excess weight by the looks of him. In fairness to the guy to keep yourself in shape whilst injured must be tough so if he has a run of matches now he should get in to better shape.

Dixon looks to have come on leaps and bounds and I thought Laffranchi was pretty good.
