Any Salford who criticising are doing so with their Salford tinted glasses on, because of the manner which he left the club. It was a very unprofessional move by Theo and did absolutely nothing to expedite his release from Salford to Saints, although one thing it did do was reduce the transfer fee enormously. If you look at how Lama Tasi, Harrison Hansen and Cory Paterson have all handled their business, Theo has come across as very petulant in all of this. I accept his management team have orchestrated it all but ultimately the decisions lie with him.
No tinted glasses here mate. It's also sad to see one of our product go at Salford as we don't have the production line as other clubs. However having been wathing Fages for some years now, I fail to believe the hype that a tiny minority of our fans make out to be. He wasn't even the stand out player for the academy when they lost the grand final the other year. The like of Sneyd and Evalds still ahead of him then, then we had Owen, Tyson, Marriot, Davidson. I think the core of that team have just won the title with Oldham.
He not as good as people make out and he may not be as average as some others say, the reality is he'll end up somewhere inbetween. Like I previously mentioned it obviously dissappointing to loose one of out products as a small club we are not doing too bad if we look at what we've lost over the years.
