the fact he made the exiles squad says alot about the current group of imports in superleague

The worst signing we've made since Michael O'Connor no question - the one signing we've made over the last few years that looked fishy right from the start and he's been far worse than I feared he might be when he was first announced. Hopefully we can do a mutually beneficial deal to off him back to Oz in the summer as it's hard to see where his future lies in a red vee.

I can think of a few overseas much worse than lance. I agree, he's been poor but he's not half as bad as you and others make out.

Problem with Lance is that he isn,t a team player, can,t read the game very well from the middle of the park. Now proven not worthy of a starting 13 spot, more value of a utility player from the bench as per is latter career in the NRL.

Like I said, he's not been great but I think a lot of it comes down to being moved from one position to the next. He's basically a fullback, he's played at the top level in the NRL and international as a fullback but we've not played him there.

It was pretty clear early on he wasnt going to be a halfback, he had no speed of thought, no rugny brain, no kicking a d looked all at sea. Hohaia is a runner and is used to space from being fullback.

I think its harsh all the stick he's getting. The is much worse players in our squad who lack any effort at all.

However, its just not worked out and IMO a move would be good for both parties. I 100% believe he'd do a great job for 80% of super league teams if he was played fullback.

He struggles under the high bomb which is why Id always prefer Makinson or even Swift at full back before Hohaia. Considering he's quota & on good money he's not worthy of a place in the squad. Would do no more than a few of our other players in any of the positions he's played in. Average in a multitude of positions, our modern day Mark Bailey.

OK - you can have Damien Smith, Dom Feaunati and Mark Bourneville, but none of them came with even a fraction of the reputation or wages that Lance has. Perry has stunk the joint out too no question on similar big money and rep, but has at least looked the business [ion occasion[/i and has basically it seems just been crippled by injury. Lance is no halfback but still should be capable of more in the position given his running ability than just shuffling the ball one more to the left every time he gets it which is all you get from him 95% of the time. Even playing prop he should be bringing more to the team than he has done. I can't wait to see the back of him.
