His nickname is Man Beast.

Potentially a great signing, we now need that monster prop (as mentioned above) and a fast as fook winger, and we're sorted for next season.

I'm not bothered about a quick winger. We need a winger that's decent under the bomb and can take the strain off our forwards a bit. If Meli could learn to catch we'd be sorted there and wouldn't be talking of replacing him.

As for 'Man Beast' he's been pretty good whenever I've seen him. Where he'll play I don't know. I would imagine that he could play at centre over here whilst our younger players develop and then he could move into the pack. Wheeler has the centre spot this year and I'd expect him to continue in that position next year or move into the half backs.

Great signing for Saints, will improve you next season in a position that you look a little weaker than previous years. Disappointed Leeds have not signed him.

I wouldn't want to replace Meli if we could keep him performing as he is right now, week in, week out. I do realise that is an immense ask though!

Ade and Meli both need some competition though. Ade has been pretty shocking all in all this season.

Why so vague??????
He needed his shoulder reconstructed and a knee op after he got splattered by wiki this along with his agent's conduct caused leeds to end interest!
It's a really straight forward explanation!!

That wouldn't put Leeds off signing him coz they signed a Aussie crock who hardly played game already this season

Once again, we show our ambition. Whilst Wigan sign washed up randoms like that fat aussie hooker and Amos somebody, we sign one of the most sought after centres in the game.

Shut up about Wigan FFS! Your obsessed! Wigan fans have come on here to congratulate us on a great signing. Why are you so botherd about who they sign ?

I'd love them sign Folau, just to pi** you off!

Anyway . His a great signing for the Saints. Good, young overseas player. Could have the same impact Shontayne Hape had with Bradford. Look at the size of his biceps
