| Good signing for mine.... He's very much a running threat with ball in hand - that's something we've been lacking recently, a ball player who has defences worrying about him running the ball first and foremost. That threat will open up space for our outside backs.
As others have said, he's not a game manager type half, but I'm not sure that's massively required in Super League nowadays. Myler can do that role sufficiently, whilst Tui will be out strike attacking threat.
He'll be a bit 'rocks and diamonds', but again, in Super League he'll be able to get away with that more. The game over here will suit his style.
I'd have preferred Blake Austin who's got a more rounded attacking game, but that being said, Austin has some serious defensive issues that aren't as prevalent with Tui.

| Very happy with this signing, at only 23 he should have his best rugby in front of him.

| Think Warrington have got the better half on the face of it in Austin but hopefully this guy will turn out to be a good one.

| At his best Austin's by far the better stand off. I think he'll be a real star in SL, and hats off to Wire for signing him. He has some real defensive issues, but they aren't going to be as obvious in SL. Whilst I would have liked Leeds to sign him, assuming he's on mega bucks I'm just glad he's in SL. He's also eligible for England, although hasn't put his hand up yet - but who knows by the next World Cup he might be a great foil for Widdopp.
Lolohea looks Ok from what I've seen, and has played pretty well for Tonga at 6, including being a reasonable goalkicker. He's had problems with fitness, and hasn't set the NRL on fire at 6, probably more suited to full back in the NRL. Its a start to rebuilding at least.

This is an exciting prospect for England, who could finally win a major trophy against Australia, with another quality half.
