We've confirmed the signing of King Vuniyayawa on a 1 year deal believe he was a free agent after being released by New Zealand Warriors in NRL. He's a Fijian international only 25 and comes in to replace Seumanufagai. Our pack looks better now all we need it to get Tetevano over here once He's visa is sorted

Could be a masterstroke this one, young, ambitious, won't be too heavy on the Salary cap.

Why waste a overseas spot on below average players. Would rather let a Leeds youngster have more game time at prop. Clearly a desperate filler signing from Leeds.

Username checks out.

Yep - I’ll take that.
Young, hungry, clearly not just come for a pay day.
And won’t be heavy on the salary cap.

Certainly beats Casty on a one year deal....

Fair to say that's prior into the pack and maybe king at loose he had gott some good pace and hands.

Given out players ball handling skills throughout the park we will see some very fast plays with long coaching

Right type of player we want, one year so if he’s not up to much nothing really lost, gives Holroyd a player to rotate with and if he’s good can keep him.

I'd say our pack if everyone is fit would be:

Oledzki Leeming Tetevano
Mellor Martin
Prior

Subs
Dwyer, Smith, Holroyd, Vuniyayawa/ Thompson/ Donaldson

It's not the biggest pack we've ever had and not biggest pack in Super league but what it does look like is It's a very mobile and a pack that will be able to play with players who can play big minutes and we have some very good ball players to help in attack. I hope Holroyd gets plenty of game time next season but not too much exposure we did it right with Oldezki easing him into match 17 so we have to do same with Holroyd. Vuniyayawa is a smart signing by club imo he's young and wanting to prove himself and he's only here on a initial 1 year deal if he works out and he plays well he can earn himself a contract extension but if he's poor then we can let him go.

Agree 100%

On the face of it, if this is Ava's replacement it's a clear downgrade in terms of proven NRL experience and ability. However, Parcel and Garbutt were also very similar in terms of games played in the top grade and they did alright. Fingers crossed on this one, but the one year deal is a get out if he turns out to be an Achurch/Peteru. Has anybody got any links of him in action?

Not the stellar prop I was hoping for, but on 1 year this makes sense.

You say that pack isn't that big, but Mik, Tommy and Tet I think are all over 110kg. Leeming is solid and so is Martin. Cam Smith again is a decent weight. So is Thompson. Donno plays above his weight in D at least.

Actually I don't think we'll be giving too much away as long as we have some luck with injuries. Not the biggest in the league but pretty mobile and with some handling ability in there. We just lack another cannonball type player but we'll see what King is like and if it's not working we can play for a bigger fish for 2022.

Know absolutely nothing about King, let's hope the club have made an astute choice here.
