That was the point al283, at their best for us they were superb, can, and will, AP invest in this kind of quality again

It is a word and you are right about it as I see it.

Savelio doesn't look a good signing to me, not big enpugh for second row, built more like a centre.

… apart from being heavier and taller than mini and manu, you could be right.

He doesn't look it in the HDM article, I stand corrected if that is the case.

Wayne Bennett seems to have been a good judge of players in the past. Taking Savelio to Oz as a second row appears to be enough recommendation to me. He’s back here because of salary cap issues over there. Smart bit of work by FC if you ask me.

So he is a poor signing because there was a picture of him in the HDM and you thought he didn't look very big in it?

Not at all, i just didn't think he looked big enough, I've been corrected and accepetd that, it is what the forum is for.

He is big. But then again, Willie Manu wasn't massive, Bateman isn't huge. Size doesn't determine impact

Hope Karen’s not reading this Wilde

To be fair he looks to have the same build/stature as Willi Manu so if he is half as good/effective as Willi was for us he will be great asset for the club. Really miss seeing a player like Willi Manu who was freakishly strong and difficult to get down with great ability to break the line.

Mini has been a fantastic player but his time is coming to an end. Manu has been very good this season, probably because he is fully fit, and should be offered a 1 year extension. At present have to many props on the rota, Some just squad players and others with potential. Along with Savelio we need to find another couple of big forwards to suit Radford's style of play. Ikahihihfo has been mentioned but is pretty inconsistent. Maybe look at an NRL project along the lines of Moa or even better a player like Fifita. He monstered our pack on Friday and even outplayed Taylor which doesn't happen very often. If Kelly stays (and Sneyd) the backs look pretty strong.
