As a guess, I'd say because Bird had no time away from the game and he's a far better player.

Resurrecting his career? He has been nothing special since he re joined Catalans, in fact he has been bang average which is far from the player he is/could be, I would suggest more of a extended holiday for him.

Please ignore the wakefield fans. They dont like threads like this because they would never be able to sign someone of his quality

What about probably the best ball handler ever to play in Super League? We signed him twice... that's right Timothy Dean Smith! The same season we brought in Dean Collis former Cronulla Sharks and West Tigers centre, international grade hooker Paul Aiton.

Personally I'd say all three have played at a better standard than Simona and racked up more NRL appearances.

Leading on from them...

THE FLYING FULLBACK Kevin Locke
NSW REP Justin Poore with 170+ NRL apps
NRL GRAND FINAL WINNING Scott Anderson
THE SAMOAN SPEEDSTER Pita Godinet

Not to mention Australia International Anthony Topou.

If it wasn't for the Wakefield fans leeeBron, you'd have nothing to talk about on here

why are you still here anyway.

Aye, big signing at the time but didn't even bother breaking a sweat when he played.

Tbf to Tupou that wasn't through lack of trying if you watched him play, injuries just took there toll on him. Anyway if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have got Fifita to the Club, so swings and roundabouts.

This is a different Kevin Locke than the washed up ex-NRL Full-Back that played a paltry 5 games for Wakey and 16 for Salford right?



Yeah I remember him..... all the talent in the world but he pi$$ed it all away and is now playing Sunday League Rugby in NZ.

Not somebody you should be quoting in an argument unless the title is "most underwhelming players ever to play in Super League"

He was done before he come over, watched him in a reserve grade game and he was walking around the pitch like he needed a hip replacement, top player in his day though. How on earth did he pass his medical? I am guessing at the time Wakey were just desperate to get some quality in.

But yet you bring so much to so many threads.



Nah, we could never aspire to sign someone who no one wants to touch, who's now a fitness instructor or something.
