I like him and would be happy if we signed him. I don't personally believe he has the same ability as Briers did at a similar age, but he might just have a better mental approach than Briers did when he was 22. I would have thought Briers (current version) would be a terrific mentor for any young halfback.

Salford don't seem to rate him as a defender, but sometimes the only way to improve that is to get him involved.

Brilliant! Club says Puletua is staying at Saints or going to NRL = 100% true. Club says Graham and Eastmond will stay = well, you can't believe everything the club says.

Is BackrowSaint for real? Or have I been duped by a not-very-elaborate gag?

gotta say Seb, since you've returned from exile, this new angry exasperated you is pretty funny.

Did I say I heard that Puletua was going to the NRL or staying at Saints via the press? No.

James Graham has signed for Canterbury Bulldogs but it hasn't been announced yet.

And I at no point during the Eastmond negotiations heard anything other than what was speculated and so did not comment, only gave my opinions on what I would like.

I'm not exasperated at all! Just having a laugh at some of the tripe getting posted.



No, nor did I say that you did. I said that you said you heard it from the club.

Fair enough, we may have our wires crossed.

I heard the Puletua news from somebody I know at the club, it's not exactly a secret within the club.

The news that Graham has signed for the bulldogs I heard from the same person within the past week and that is all I have officially heard on Graham.

The whole Eastmond and Graham situation that somebody brought up was news in the press. I didn't hear anything about either of these two directly from the club apart from the recent Graham news. That is why I said don't believe everything you hear in the press.
