criminal records also.

I am here sweetcheeks

We now have the press cuttings. thanks for them. I looked at his Bulldogs profile and it said no reps honours. (maybe Oz clubs think developmental games are not proper reps games)

If he played for samoa three years ago as a tier 2 country then that may be enough. Box ticked and over he may pop.

Still rather sad that a game for a developmental Samoan side 3 years ago is enough. Not being able to get games in a NRL team that had problems in its back row last year is not an impediment.

If our game is strengthened by bring over reserve grade NRL players so be it

No.

A Kolpak player still requires a work permit to enter the UK but once they have that, they have to be given the same employment rights as a EU citizen.

I love it how you always exagerate ,3 years since he played for Samoa??
Actually bit closer to 2years isnt it??
It was you that made the big deal about him not playing for Samoa - when you can see he has.

Just let all the bitterness spill out,go on, have a good old cry.

You could have quite simply admitted you made a mistake.

But hey ho,you can now keep your fingers crossed that he doesnt get a Visa.

still, it does pose the question of why Wakefield are willing to take a punt on an untried, untested Samoan, yet not on a young british player

Is there really any need to sign this player. Is there not a suitable reserve/academy prospect within the club, or a Championship player.

I am all for 'big name' overseas players who bring something to SL but this guy is a complete unknown (to fans) by the sounds of it. If there is not an ideal British player at the same standard then we really should ask, why not?

Unfortunately the recent RFL backtrack on the number of imports has allowed this singing, and many like it, to happen.

I’m disappointed that another import will be playing for Trinity next season but the fact is the a pack already lacking in depth suffered the loss of Moore for the season dues to illness and the youth players not already in the 25 man squad are not up to it yet. In terms of numbers he is needed. Trinity had a part time player in their 17 against Leeds.

Whether or not there are better players in the championship is another matter. The club have recruited heavily from this source in the past and many have worked out but perhaps there just was not the talent there this time.

So transparent isn't he/she, one very nasty poster is this one mate if you rattle it's cage(s).

Am I? Oh dear.

Really? Young British players have been holding our team together for most of last season and the start of this one, still they're not up to the whino standard of youngster so you wouldn't have noticed them would you

Aye they get their rs's smacked in their trolling attempts on our board so have to come on the VT to rally support

I think every post of your I've ever read has been anti Wakey.
