Just caught the last 10 minutes of the Warriors being manhandled by the NQ Cowboys. Peyroux's defence is a real concern for me. In those 10 minutes he 'lost his hips' and let a try in. But from what I've seen so far the thing that strikes me most is how weak his contact is in the tackle. He's very passive and generally needs someone else to finish off the tackle for him - not good for a bloke his size. Hopefully I'm wrong and it just looks that way because the Warriors are struggling.

He played centre again today. Very soft in defence again and let two tries in. I've got a feeling he's our new centre with Turner moving to loose.

Snap!





You just beat me to the same post mate. Fully agree.

Seventeen pages of ceaseless bellyaching and yet not one person can produce so much as a solitary name?

We are experts at player assassionation before they put on the saints shirt, if we left it to the experts we wouldn,t be signing anybody.

This has Bryan Henare / Paul Hamson written all over it.

The way he was played as a bal handler last game maybe points that way, but I just don't get it. Wilkin is a natural 13, or the closest thing we have got to one, and yet we play anyone there but him. LMS has played well at 13 as an extra prop, but I wish we would go back to having a proper LF there. Bring back the days of Harry Pinner, Arky, Shane Cooper, Scully. Leave turner in the centre where he has been ok this year.

My thoughts exacctly, they need to stop messing with Turner and just coach him to improve his defence.

Dom is a replacement for Jones not Turner, if next season Dom turns out a better option at centre then OK but don,t mess with our best attacking player as we come to the business end of this year.

So should we only recruit people with "hard" masculine names now then? Stacey Jones seemed to manage alright, and wasn't there a Tracey played for one of the NRL clubs a few years back?

Yeah, appearances are very important. We need a coach who looks cool in shades in Castleford in March and players who would scare people on a Russian building site.



Did anyone see Peyroux's performance this weekend? I've reassessed him and am now convinced he's the worst overseas signing we've ever made. I'd love to hear who's idea it was to sign him. He looks like a rabbit in the headlights, like he's 17 and has never played the game once. He's got that look Maurie had when he first signed, only without the excuse of never having played the game. His defense is absolutely appalling. He is consistently beaten by anyone stepping to his left and he has no physicality in the tackle at all. With the he looks petrified, darting about making exaggerated dummies until he's tackled. He never takes it in hard and in the three games I've seen he's not done a thing worthy of note.



I'm baffled as to why Jones couldn't have been replaced from the academy? Spend some of the considerable money it's taken to relocate Peyroux on a proper signing that might improve us. Peyroux is another Dawson. He'll play due to injuries, but he shouldn't be anywhere near the club. Our standards have definitely lowered.

Like WHO?



Josh Jones is a fully mature professional. You reach physical maturity somewhere between 22 and 23. Which academy player can we promote who will be physically mature next season?

You mustn't have watched Saints during the eighties and early nineties, then. I could pick an entire thirteen in which Peyroux would likely be the star man.
