Not quick enough for the Hull KR side though eh ?

I actually think that if we don't get hammered with injuries, Puletua could be the difference between losing at OT in the last 2 seasons and winning there. He is that good and that big an influence to us right now.

Since when has a prop forward needed pace?

Having said that, he's probably faster than Wellens and Gardner

He's a second row who can play prop because of his size and centre because of his speed and skill

I was under the impression you could only get in the HKR side if you can run the 100 under 10 seconds ? Isn't it pace which is going to see HKR overtake Saints this season according to you ?

Anyway, back on topic, Puletua is performing amazingly right now and hopefully it continues.

Superb game from him yesterday. Not much to compete against, but superb.

Lets all calm down a bit.

He has only played what 6 games. Also he has shown he suffers a little with fitness.

However I must say I have been very impressed with him at times and hope it continues.

As for the best forward ever in SL - do me a favour. We can name a few in the Saints team alone without even going to the other teams.

Time will tell - but a VERY good signing none the less.

Nothing like looking for positives is there

He's a monster. I wish he was a Cas player.

Most of what you say has merit, but calling an 80 minute forward unfit

I was referring to him getting unjured very early in his Saints career and also he seemed to struggle to fitness after that with a couple of lack lustre performances.

Don't get me wrong I like what I see VERY much.

I sincerly hope we get an 80 minute forward I just hope he doesn't turn out to be a 15 minute one like Fatty Feka!!

I think he is definitely an 80 min man. My only concern with a 29yrold 80 min forward is injuries, he cant keep that up for ever and i definitely dont want him to go the way of JC
