New contract, www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/39591719

It was sorted virtually before the season started.

Why has he only just signed?

Anything significant happened lately to encourage him to sign now?

Maybe waiting for the cap increase?

the 2nd marque player ?

Saints don't have anyone on the marquee rule including the new Percival contract

I keep wanting this lad to impress me, but he rarely does.

I don't watch Saints every week so my opinion isn't really valid but from all the hype and talk of him being a potential international player I'm generally disappointed by his performances when I do see him.

According to super league stats he is the no 1 centre in Superleague for Tackle Busts, Clean Breaks and Offloads and he puts in plenty of tackles so his match by match effort is pretty good compared to others for that particular position.

You want to try educating yourself kn%$ead, he already is an international.

Bloody hell, still upset about yesterday? As I said I don't watch him every week like you do but when I have watched him I don't get the hype to be honest. The thought of him lining up against the Aussies and Kiwi's would put the fear of God in me as an England supporter.

Personally wouldn't swap Gildart or Gelling for him.

Not sure how old he is, and I do genuinely hope he does achieve the potential Saints seem to have in him as we are desperate for quality centres.

The league needs a strong Saints and I hope the events of the last week get you lot back on track. Thought you applied yourself very well yesterday shame about Amor sending off, never a red for mine. Major issue for you guys I feel has been your signing stratergy. Morgan, Smith and in particular Owens really poor bits of business in my opinion. Hopefully who ever comes sorts that out as a matter of priority.

As an England supporter you will know that he has already lined up against these teams only 6 months ago.
