lolohea confirmed : Tue Sep 21, 2021 2:50 pm  

personally not over the moon. was woeful at Leeds, better at Salford but would question consistency.
with russell, cogger pryce and Fages do we really need him.
I suspect Pryce will play at fullback next season. so cogger or russell to move on? i know russell signed an extension but does that finish at the end of the year?

Has been something of a maverick. Is clearly very talented, saw him quite a bit in the NRL. We need an organiser playing with him. Let's see how he goes. He's certainly a very talented runner.

in the q and a watson said we will have 5 hb next year with injury's that is ok by me

Good signing for me. Talented player but clearly with its risks of him blowing hot and cold.

Pryce moves to fullback next year in my view.

Need Fages in as an organiser. Russell above Cogger in the pecking order in my view.

And if this and last season are anything to go by we certainly do need the depth as injuries rack up these days so easily!

The lad never settled at Leeds but Watson took a punt on him and brought the best out of him. They've worked together successfully before let's hope they repeat it at the Giants. It's good to see the club getting the recruitment in early and getting the men they want rather than just whoever is available.

Re: lolohea confirmed : Wed Sep 22, 2021 7:47 pm  

Yeah agreed. We’ve made calls on signings and got most of it done early.

Watto will have the squad he wants for next year, or vast majority of it.

I dream getting to the playoffs again and competing properly! Ha

Lolohea should be a good signing for us I wouldn't be surprised to see him at fullback, I think Russell has been outstanding at the end of the season. Its good to have some options for next year and genuine depth

Re: lolohea confirmed : Mon Sep 27, 2021 6:39 pm  

Wrong time, wrong place at Leeds. Played in a team with all manner of problems and became one himself once his confidence was shot. Did much better for Salford. I think he might take another upward step now. He's clearly a lot more settled and sure of himself.

i keep seeing that fages is being mentioned at the giants but not seen anywhere where he has signed

Re: lolohea confirmed : Thu Oct 07, 2021 4:19 pm  

Fages not formally confirmed but an announcement is expected. They may be waiting until Saints season has finished, or possibly drip feeding the announcements to stimulate season card sales.
