Quote ="NickyKiss"He looked ordinary yesterday I thought. He hardly touched the ball when he was on and had little influence on the game. He's played better then that in the tournament though and should do well for them.
How well he does do will depend on his attitude and fitness. If he stays at a similar level to now he'll do well in short bursts. If he thinks superleague is a bit of a holiday for him he could end up a poor piece of business by Saints as his weight will balloon but if he's here to work hard and Saints get him in better shape he could be a sensation.
It's going to be interesting viewing anyway.'"
1 thing I will say is that he looked to be carrying considerably more timber than when he left Penrith. He seems the type that has to be kept on a short lead regards fitness/weight or it could be very damaging.
I hope we see the best of him personally as from a pure entertainment point of view he is great to watch. I can see him having a field day against some teams, and being a real star of the highlights films.
In relation to Eddie, he also looks physically a little out of condition, which is to be expected. I think when he gets back into the swing if things as well as strong direct charges we can expect to see some dynamic footwork close to the defensive line, which will see him be able to poke his nose through the line as well as try to go straight over the top of it.
