Sia carried our pack for two years. Even playing prop for half a season. Pretty sure he would have made most breaks for a forward most seasons. He was our only player that showed any aggression for season after season. To say he's was overated is pretty laughable.
I'm not sure 'carrying our pack' in the couple of seasons prior to last is worth shouting about. It was pretty awful.
Soliola actually played prop for the entire of last season, though I wouldn't expect your average fan to see it. He was a nice compliment to our frontline props but hardly irreplaceable. Wigan targeted him in defence for years and made him look very average for the most part.
Good player. Irreplaceable ? No chance. Most of his rep was because he was such a good bloke who immersed himself with the town. As a player, he was 'good', not special.
And 'laughable' is half the crap that gets posted on here by people who know nothing about the sport in the main, not suggesting that Soliola was a bit overrated.
