He's been very unlucky with the injuries just before he came and then when he got here. He's struggled to get fit but he'd started to look much better until tonight.

fair do's with the injuries situ,but because his performances started at 3/10,then upped to 5/10,then tonight ZERO,I cant wait for his contract to end,must be 1 of the highest paid at the club being at test prop when signed,struggling to think of a worse overseas signing recently by any club

When he's up for it, his ability as a prop is there for all to see. Problem is he looks like he can't be d most of the time. Would rather see a young hungry prop instead of him.

My thoughts exactly.

Thought the knock on call against him early on was very harsh,seemed a steal to me,some very stupid moments and needless penalties,he needs to put this game behind him and focus on the next game.

Yes - give me team full of 20 year old unknowns over an experienced first rate Aussie international who's been on a good run of form and has had one bad game any day...

are you serious,experienced yes,first rate questionable,aussie international well even they can make mistakes,good run of form,well i presume you mean he's been average compared to the usual e he's put out,1 bad game

the man has been bleeding the club dry doing a very poor impersonation of a prop forward,lets see which if any nrl club snaps up this aussie international forward when thank god his contract is up next year

Awful tonight, looked like a complete novice. A semi-competent Academy player would've served you better.

Managed the quite impressive feat of being the worst player on the park despite a valiant effort by most of our lot. Single-handedly cancelled out our shocking completion rate for a while.

Agreed. He was shocking. Just like he has been on and off all season.

I'd rather have a young hungry prop over him at the minute

The young lad might actually be d to play the ball and put in a decent days work

And let's get it right, he makes the same amount of mistakes if not more! Than a young un-experienced prop who's not played a full senior game

He had a nightmare. Probably the only Saints player who did.

But yet has been consistently very good for the last 2-3 months. Sia had a mare at the millenium did he not?
Sure he'll be back in a few weeks, still gives some morons a scapegoat & an opportunity to moan about something.

After an extremely slow start he has got better, but last night was a mare. Even to the point where Rush had to hook him off before the ref did.

But we all have bad days and he has had some better ones before this. I'm not in the mood for bagging players to the point of chucking them out after a win in the playoffs. At this point it's get behind the team for me until the season ends. So expect me to ignore everything that's gone before and to be more positive about winning the entire lot. We have played playoff rugby since easter so we are primed for this type of game.

COYS.

Perrry was our worst player last night closely followed by LMS.

I'm one of the few (I think) who are a real fan of Perry.
He's very hard to pull down and is a very strong and intelligent defender, often dominating opposition forwards and slowing there speed to play the ball significantly.
However, he's a borderline player. His better performances often leave me thinking that he's been lucky not to have been penalised a few times. He was just a little bit off his game last night, and found himself giving away some silly things. He was helped by dropping a very unsympathetic pass from Lomax and a dubious strip from higham int he opening plays which didn't go our way.

Agreed

Why don't we put the young prop and U20's captain WAlker in the squad instead of Perry! The lad seems to be getting raves reviews if you read the match reports on our website. Perry has been dissapointing all season tbh and it'll be great experience that will bold well for the club in the future.

mate, i've defended Perry since the day he got here, throughout his injuries and poor form i've always said he will come good and show us all what got him that Australia cap. and for a while this year against the weaker opposition he's been good, and I thought he was getting there. but if he's going to be a liability time and time again when it matters... i'd rather take a gamble on a younger kid (ie. Chris Hill at Wire!!) than on some Aussie veteran who clearly can't be d and plays like he thinks he is far too good for our league!

Gaz Frodsham springs to mind. He was also getting great reviews, he was captain of England but we put him in to early.

If he's not ready then he's better in u20s for his sake and ours.

One bad game doesn't make him useless. He was a bit wild yesterday but he was there with the kind of aggression we needed to win the game. He is a pack leader in those circumstances and without him on the pitch we lose that. He sets the example.

I should add that Westwood provides a similar role with Warrington (note, similar, not the same). Without him in their defensive line up there wasn't that flying around that he can bring, which fires up your own team to get into the game with him. If he's back in two weeks time it'll be a different game.

Yes - we can play some random kids in the team instead of our proven top-line internationals in our most important game of the season. Giving them experience will be far more vital to us than trying to win the game, right?

Just 1 bad game

Bit wild

Ive been hoping now for 2 seasons for him too prove to the fans he was the real deal,it aint happening,he cant cut it,whether it by the injuries he's sustained just after we signed him or since he's been here but he must rate as 1 of the worst signings we've had in recent years per salary cap £'s to the team,mind you lance has a chance of pushing him close.

As for comparing him similarly too westwood in any shape or form is just a joke

came with a big rep and has ended up being a massive disappointment i.m.o which is most unlike saints regards over sea's recruitments
