Absolutely devastated it's finally been confirmed, even though we've all known for a few weeks / months now.
He is a Saints legend in my eyes, definitely one of the best and most committed players I've seen in the Red Vee in my 19 years of watching Saints. If everyone played with his passion and ability we'd be unstoppable. He runs his blood to water every week, always plays to a high standard and his leadership, work rate, experience and ability will be badly missed.
James, you're a Saints legend and I wish you every success in the NRL. I may even watch the NRL more next season to see how he's getting on.
It's a tough task to replace him and I hope we find a top class replacement because that is exactly what is required. It's even more imperative we try and re-sign TP too, otherwise we've got a very tough task on our hands.
