Sao is a liability ill-disciplined, picks up a lot of knocks and is a poor one on one defeder, release him, bring is Eseh (even on loan) and get a quota Centre

I have heard the club has been trying to offload Sao for some time

A new defence and a new attack coach

I agree and i think its a desperation and poor signing
Players in Australia are surrounded by quality and its little wonder someone like Sezer willl look better.
His form at Leeds should have told anyone with a brain that he is not up to it in S/L when required to step up.
You only have to look at Ligi Sao playing for Samoa
Looked good when surrounded by quality players but put him into a team that needs him to step up and thats what you get

Disagree. That team today with Abdul and sezer in would of been massively better

That set on the Cas line against 11 men summed us up. 3 or 4 drives then a duff kick. Even with Cust we wouldn't have been that bad.

Rapana hasn't really played centre much in his career has he? If the club go down that route, they haven't learnt from the Nu Brown debacle this season.

He's never a centre. According to RL project which is pretty accurate he has only played there 8 times in a 219 club career. In fact he's only played 31 games at fullback.

We desperately need another centre.

Which makes it look like a desperation signing, he's a good player, but I'm not sure he's the right one to use our final marquee (and quota spot) on when we already have a capable fullback in Walker, two promising youngsters in Barron and Martin on the wing and briscoe as another reliable option there. Playing rapana in the centres will likely lead to fans turning on him quickly next season when he struggles there defensively
