Lets just take a punt on Luke Page, still doesn't play in the NRL, aggressive and fast and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. I know the club has said they are waiting for the right player but surely the longer we wait the less good quality props there are?
Give him a one year deal and let him rip in, at least we know what we're getting as every time i've seen him play he runs in to tackles full pelt like Cooper and consistantly plays the same.

That's the sort of player that does the best when coming in from the NRL. The ones who come in with a big reputation too often come over thinking it will be a holiday. I'd rather we take a punt and sign a known quantity as well though personally.

Tetevano is staying in the NRL, Sam Lisone has reportedly also said no. According to ‘Madame Boyd’ on Twitter, Patrick Mago (above) could be our last resort...

Hmmmm, is it just me or are other folk starting to hear strange noises? Almost as if the bottom of a barrel is being scraped....

I'm hearing Sam Lisone is on and it's hinged on a work visa, 16 to be his shirt.

Mr Magoo, I didn’t see that coming.

Good news as oppose to Mago whom hasn’t played at all last season and played about 8 games the season before that.

I'm not sure why you come to that conclusion. No way are the Club paying out the money they are aiming for mediocre. They are spending big to win big...just not successfully yet!

8 seasons since our peak in 2012 and no cigar just decline. In my view by being too accomodating of repeated failure of coaching and certain players. Sentimentally keeping Smith long passed his sell by date and an underwhelming replacement. Saint have shown that the right coach and team can win SL starting at a very low base in just 2 full seasons.

Anyhow we will see.

Bad decision making seems much nearer the mark.
