Bozo said:Past his use by date. OK, but not by Penrith standards. Too many fundemental mistakes. He's a potato. Bugger off Tony.
It's true.Hurriflatch said:Tony is concistant
he plays 1 good game every 4 weeks
Azkatro said:He was alright alongside his mate Galuvao in 2003... interesting how once they split up they both pretty well disappeared.
What can you say though? Like you said he was always decent, but that was the peak of his career and he was great. I get the feeling he's the sort of person that was comfortable with his teammates at the time and it benefitted his footy.Thierry Henry said:Pretty big difference between the two imo. Galuvao was a nobody before and after 2003, while Puletua has been a good player since 1998- not always great, a bit up and down, a bit lazy, but still an upper echelon sort of player.
It'll be an insult to Puletua if he gets remembered alongside Joe Galuvao.

Thierry Henry said:What I can say is that Puletua has been a good first-grader, and an international regular, for about 8 or 9 years.
Galuvao had one good year, other than that struggled to make first grade.
Big difference.
