It was the obvious conclusion to come to. He hardly impressed in the NRL and had numerous injuries. Not somebody I would have been happy to get into a bidding war for at the time. But fair play to him, he's been immense.
And not to rub it in (well to rub it in a bit) but he's everything Saints need. A metre making prop, who plays big minutes and would allow you to rotate guys like Delaney, Walmsley and Stephens around him.
I do find his time in the NRL a bit sad in a way. He's far too good for a stint over there to have not been a massive success but there isn't much you can do about injuries. It was much the same with Sam Tomkins. A very good year was followed by a year of being injured/playing with injury and then you get labelled as not being up to it but it just isn't the case.
