I don't think I've ever said that? The team only needs 2/3 of them in the side each week, which would leave them each on about 20 games next season which is in line with where 3rd season kids need to be. They still need some management, but should be getting closer and closer to permanent members - the debate is when the training wheels come off I suppose. I think we're near enough to agreeing, 1 more signing, who is more solid than spectacular and we're all set to go!

I think we have a lot of players who will be better next year than they are this year, and are stronger with just the same group of players! One year we might even get lucky with injuries and now be in constant crisis! Hopefully Walsh can recapture some first season form (and defence) in the off season (but that's a whole other debate!) and burns can find some attacking fluency as a result. The only qualm I have is why we gave Dawson another 2 years (and who will be first choice fullback)!

I have been trying to remember who Peyroux reminds me of. A leggy runner with a big upper body build.

It has just occurred to me Tawera Nikau.

I think he is a good player and someone I have liked while watching the Warriors. A good signing by the club.

But he doesn't play? I've taped every Warriors game since he was rumoured to be joining us and he's not played once. I've watched several before that to see how Tomkins was getting on and again he wasn't there. I can find some vague references to him him playing from the bench sometime in early 2014, but that's about it.

A lad I know who spends a lot of time in Australia reckons he's a slow version of Gelling.

The Warriors are the only NRL team in New Zealand. That's the kind of monopoly which makes even Brisbane fans slightly envious. Given the enormous competition for first team places I imagine there are a ton of players who'll never play a single game and yet could easily do a job in SL.



What does that make Josh Jones?

Just put record on the Warriors v dragons tomorrow to see Peyroux.

Is he playing?

No

Picked to play at centre on Saturday.

Wey hey. I'll have to put record on this. Who they playing ?

Penrith

Is that his first appearance of the year?

Fifth appearance.

Really? The other four must have been early in the season then?

Playing right centre, live now on Premier sports.

Got it on record. How he doing ?

Only ten mins gone, Sweeped up a loose ball behind the sticks, took a high bomb and missed a tackle on his opposite centre for the try! Mixed bag so far.

Missed a tackle, sounds about right

Subbed for Hurrel after 30 mins. Came back on in the back row in the second half and made a couple of good carries before taking a knock and coming off again. He looks a bit of a timid defender for his size - too passive. His first game for a while though; he may have been feeling his way back in.

Sounds like he's made for us

Whilst not standing out I thought he was ok in a pretty poor Warriors performance. I don't think he did go off with a knock in the second half. He was moved out onto the right wing outside Hurrell, who with his battering ram style is never gonna give him any ball.

Ah, my mistake. I saw him go down hurt and then didn't spot him after that, so assumed he'd gone off.

Just watching it now. Just seen him miss a tackle for a try

He didn't do to bad. He looks decent with the ball and made a good off load which nearly set up at try. Looks more of a forward than centre to me.

I usually agree with you, but don't on this.

If I had to describe his performance in one word, it would be 'fairy'. His name is very feminine and his performance was as well. He seems like a big lad who is unaware of his size. He tackles weakly, runs it in like he's Danny Arnold. There was one embarrassing moment where he was brushed by the Penrith hooker and span round in the air on the way to the floor.

Looks a very poor signing. I just can't see where he can play? He can't play in the backrow, he's not tough enough on that evidence. If he played on the same edge as Walsh and Turner we may as well give in now. He's not dangerous enough with the ball to play centre either.

It speaks volumes that Saints fans can spend SEVENTEEN PAGES whining over whether or not a SQUAD PLAYER is good enough.

Can you guys just answer me ONE QUESTION?

Given that Peyroux is Josh Jones' replacement - can you please tell me precisely which players you think are good enough who will play for what you think Josh Jones takes home in his WAGE PACKET?

Bear in mind that Jones is leaving because he's not being paid a great deal.
