Our continuing slide towards Wakefield continues at pace. Sad to see, this is basically Sia retiring as Canberra are a joke and will surely take a few years to fix.

Your not looking at the bigger picture, We have a lovely new stadium that holds other teams semi-finals in

But seriously Sia leaving is a massive blow that we will miss next season on a par with Jammer leaving , he is at times our one player that gives us that fire in your belly that we lack.

Sia has been great for us, but I don't think his leaving is particularly disastrous. For all his exuberance, he does have defensive flaws in his game. I'll miss him, but I don't think he's irreplaceable.

I thought Wakefield had a better backline than us, anyway?

I'm with Dux, he has great parts of his game, but his overall value perhaps isn't as high as we may think.

Canberra have also signed Josh Hodgson.

I agree but we will miss his aggression, work rate, pride in the shirt and he loves saints. That type of player is hard to find.

Sia has been pure quality on and off the field and is a great role model for any kids to look up to.

He's my fave saints player

You guys may see things I don't when I watch him against us and on Sky but to me he's nowhere near the class of James Graham.

Graham was and is world class and he used to worry me immensely when Wigan played against you. As for Soliola he looks a decent back row (probably one of the better ones in superleague) but no more really. He's rarely had an impact on our games and whilst he's had little support nor did Graham towards the back end of his Saints career yet he still carried you on his back.

Soliola is replaceable IMO.

Have I missed something? What's james Graham got to do with Sia going?
