Atelea Vea : Tue Jun 03, 2014 2:16 pm  

Hey guys,

Strong word going around the saints boards we've signed Atelea Vea from you guys from next season onwards. He seemed to have a great game at langtree park - but what is the overall impression of London fans about the guy? He started late and hasn't played a lot so it's hard to judge!

We've also supposedly tabled an offer for McMeekan? Any opinions on him?

Vea is inconsistent from what I've seen, was quiet on Sat for example. But on his day he is very good and good enough for Saints IMO.

McMeeken is a good young player, will be a SL regular for years to come I think. Not a world beater - at the moment anyway - but won't let anyone down

Re: Atelea Vea : Tue Jun 03, 2014 9:36 pm  

From what I've seen Vea has been our best forward this season.

McMeeken, given the right coaching can be International class imo

That's pretty much how I see them, always felt McMeeken could go far with the right coaching - shame it looks like he'll be going as far as Merseyside!

As far as I am aware, this is the first "vulture" post and sadly won't be the last. We've signed your player, is he any good? This is poop to quote a scouse phrase

Apologies I feel for the London position, and was avoiding posting - it's just caused a bit of a row on our board so needed some more opinions ... Not that that's much consolation.

To be fair, if you can keep hold of the Caton-Brown's, Macani's and Bishay's then it isn't so bad?

It's what's sad about sport, Vultures!! admire Leigh who are saying NO to anyone who wants their talented young players, good on them, if Wigan & St Helens can't produce their own talent its sad!

Look at the current Wigan squad Jaybs. The idea that Wigan might not be able to produce their own talent is probably the silliest I have read on this forum in some considerable time. And that's before looking at how many young Wiganers are at other clubs, including London!

Very true Euclid. ... And saints too..
It's pretty obvious London will lose quite a few end of season...
