We very rarely get external signings right, and historically struggle with managing talent beyond their first contract.
We are good at finding young talent to begin with though.
Paix showed signs of being a pretty serviceable hooker. Had some real dominate games in cup over the years too. He had a few rough games under Kev and was forever exiled.

The issue is, I’m not sure how much he’s being paid
IMO Billy’s biggest issue, other than his average athletic ability which I don’t really hold against him as teams need average players in the salary cap era - is his decision making.
Sometimes he gets it really right by putting in an unexpected long kick to get us out of trouble, sometimes he...
