Agree hes a very good signing but not sure I would have given him 4 years, isnt he playing most of his rugby at fullback though these days? Also with Lomax and Gaskell running so well where does this leave them, that said this pairing is yet to be tested against a top 4 club I suppose.

good signing with wellens ageing and lomax and gaskell still a bit green his experience in key roles will be just what saints need

Great signing - but if it were us I would be a bit worried about 4 years for a 28 year old.

Read a quote where he hasn't played half back in the NRL and he personally thinks it's his best position... it seems coaches think otherwise after a decade of playing fullback
"I've always considered myself to play well in that position and I haven't had the opportunity to do that NRL level.
it'd be like sticking radlinski at 6
Saints sign aussie after all the stick we got for three oversea signings

saints have signed a top players in hohia but we signed three overseas players and got all the stick saints have got gaskell and lomaz coming threw but go for a new zealander think its a great signing but wheres the ethics gone now its not wigan ... like when salford n hull kr have signed aussies over the last few years and we have the best youth set up in the league

Based on his FB experience, and the fact that my 87 year old Grandma could outrun Wellens, I bet Lomax and Gaskell don't care.

Like Brett Hodgson I dont think Hohaia will be too far off speed even at 32. Some players seem to keep fit even with age and I think he will still be up there for Superleague standards.
As you say, great signing.
