Yeah i'm expecting about as much as Sammy Kibula to be honest with him, so i'm hoping both of them make an unexpected impact.
Any idea how long he's been signed for?

Signed for two seasons

Interesting.
I though you guys already had 7 non-fed trained players? Gelling, Murdoch-Masilla, Austin, Widdop, Mamo, Akauola and Jason Clark.
Is one of the above exempt? I can’t see that any of them count as federation-trained?

Look those pettifogging rules don’t apply to us anymore than the Salary Cap does, now move along at the back of the bus.

Someone has to play prop in the Reserve team.

Salary cap? What salary cap?

You were Saracens CEO and I claim my fiver!

The new Lama Tasi?

Recruitment has been far from ideal for the prop, but if he comes over with a point to prove it could be a half decent signing.

To be fair, history tells us that players who have come to the club with little fanfare and something to prove often do pretty well. Holden, Briers, Nutley, Bridge, Mackey etc. whereas the headline acts have been pretty hit and miss - mainly miss where overseas are concerned.

So I'm hoping Kibula & Latu both come fully motivated and eager to prove a point. Until they've had chance to be tested on the field, let's at least be supporters and [isupport[/i.

Any signing with 9 days to the start of SL isn't going to be earth shattering.

No the Saracens CEO at least won something whilst cheating. If we ever get done for a cap breach, we won't be the disgrace that they are or Melbourne were, we'll be a bloody laughing stock.

Me too, miaw

SoO players that have just gone through the motions
Ex YPotY just doing a job
NRL stalwarts.. Reliable. But so is a Toyota Carrola

I know nothing of your latter two, miaw, but they have a clean slate from me

For a short while I was thinking somehow that Judi Dench's butchering of Memory had affected your posting ability.

Then the penny dropped:
Miaw = Morrisey is a Wire (nothing to do with noises made by felines)

Sounds like you guys aren’t expecting much from Latu, you will pleasantly surprised then. He’s always been a really good prop it it didn’t work out well for him with the Titans for whatever reasons. Twice the player Tasi is.

Widdop I guess? He was in England till he was 15 wasn't he? How can a player born in England with a proper passport who plays for England not count as English on the cap?
