Don't be silly, it will take at least 3 months before a name like Hohaia (another Kiwi name with too many vowels) will be spelt right by the masses.

Just stick to Lance till it sinks in.

Just out of curiosity, have Saints signed a half back from their own development on a 4 year term recently?

Gave gaskell a 2 year extension till 2014 and lomax is under contract until 2013.

if roby had any intention of playing in the nrl he would have gone before he signed his new contract with saints this february

Didn't know that-cheers.

Yeah, he signed a 5 year deal.

Don;t St's have ayouth development programme?





Seriously though good signing, just wished he'd gone to a bottom 4 team rather than a top 4 team to help even out the comp more.

Having watched Lance quite a few times playing for the Warriors, i for one would be interested to see how he goes playing at half back after being at full back for a couple of years.he tends to mis-judge the high bomb occasionally at full back.He has good upper body strength and is quite had to stop near the line.Lance wasnt playing well a few weeks ago and was dropped,but came back last week and had a good game, i think the reason being was his uncertainty of where he would be playing next year, now that is sorted i think we will see him back to his best.I wish him every success and thank him for ten years loyal service to the Warriors.

Lockyer wasn't offered a contract. He was asked informally if he'd be interested in Widnes and said no thanks.

this time last year we were hearing about him coming to Perpignan for a season - he even made a couple of visits to the city.

Was a target for Cas 3 years ago. So for Saints to sign him is a bit strange, I wouldnt swap Rangi Chase for him, But then again, I wouldnt swap him for any other 6 in the world... Bar maybe Benji Marshall.



I cant see Hohia turning Saints into SL champions again.
