He didn't do to bad. He looks decent with the ball and made a good off load which nearly set up at try. Looks more of a forward than centre to me.

I usually agree with you, but don't on this.

If I had to describe his performance in one word, it would be 'fairy'. His name is very feminine and his performance was as well. He seems like a big lad who is unaware of his size. He tackles weakly, runs it in like he's Danny Arnold. There was one embarrassing moment where he was brushed by the Penrith hooker and span round in the air on the way to the floor.

Looks a very poor signing. I just can't see where he can play? He can't play in the backrow, he's not tough enough on that evidence. If he played on the same edge as Walsh and Turner we may as well give in now. He's not dangerous enough with the ball to play centre either.

It speaks volumes that Saints fans can spend SEVENTEEN PAGES whining over whether or not a SQUAD PLAYER is good enough.

Can you guys just answer me ONE QUESTION?

Given that Peyroux is Josh Jones' replacement - can you please tell me precisely which players you think are good enough who will play for what you think Josh Jones takes home in his WAGE PACKET?

Bear in mind that Jones is leaving because he's not being paid a great deal.

I thought he looked decent with the ball when he came back for his second spell. I agree tho, his defence looked pretty awful and don't think I'd trust him in the centre with that defending.

To be fair, that's only his 5th game this year so might be a little rusty.

Just caught the last 10 minutes of the Warriors being manhandled by the NQ Cowboys. Peyroux's defence is a real concern for me. In those 10 minutes he 'lost his hips' and let a try in. But from what I've seen so far the thing that strikes me most is how weak his contact is in the tackle. He's very passive and generally needs someone else to finish off the tackle for him - not good for a bloke his size. Hopefully I'm wrong and it just looks that way because the Warriors are struggling.

He played centre again today. Very soft in defence again and let two tries in. I've got a feeling he's our new centre with Turner moving to loose.

You just beat me to the same post mate. Fully agree.

Seventeen pages of ceaseless bellyaching and yet not one person can produce so much as a solitary name?

We are experts at player assassionation before they put on the saints shirt, if we left it to the experts we wouldn,t be signing anybody.

This has Bryan Henare / Paul Hamson written all over it.

The way he was played as a bal handler last game maybe points that way, but I just don't get it. Wilkin is a natural 13, or the closest thing we have got to one, and yet we play anyone there but him. LMS has played well at 13 as an extra prop, but I wish we would go back to having a proper LF there. Bring back the days of Harry Pinner, Arky, Shane Cooper, Scully. Leave turner in the centre where he has been ok this year.
