| Looks a beast , I agree , but lets take things in perspective regarding the opposition he been playing against. Agree what Stonie says , in that he needs to try himself against a higher grade. Welcome to the giants and hope you continue ripping it up next season.

| Good to see the rumour comes true again just before xmas!
felt we could do with another prop and everything i read about this guy is very positive
top stats for the league he was playing in and many wonder why he hasnt got a NRL deal
glad stone has got two players he actually wanted on board
wakeman comes from same place as ikahihifo, 6ft 2 and got some real pace and looks a handful

| I'm more excited about this signing than Mamo! Just one more quality signing would really put the icing on the cake.

| Is it really wise to lose a precious quota spot on a forward who's never played in a full time environment?

| Great news, happy with this. Nearly there now. I agree a hooker / centre or both will fulfill the squad needs. Good stuff!

Except he HAS had a full time contract-(more than one) although he didn't last year-tut tut- this journo hack not done his homework!
and I'd say hes EXACTLY the sort of player we should be giving up a spot for-young, hungry, passionate, point to prove, rather than a past his best has-been come for a pension. That reminds me how is Glenn?

Totally agree , He is exactly the kind of player we need, If he plays like he was on that vidio, he will be very very good for us, and let us not forget that Aussie second grade is on a par with SL. When was the last time we had a forward that hit the line like that, never mind bust it occasionally. Well done somebody, probs tricky Rick.

| Really looking forward to seeing a blockbusting prop break the line, should be meat and drink for Brierley if he is following him for the offload.

| Woo-hoo!!!
Another rumour signing that has finally materialised and really happy now that both Mamo and Wakeman confirmed. Obviously RS choices so squad now looking to reflect his style of play now rather than that he inherited. Who would choose Huby given his mediocre Giants appearances over SW who is coming with something to prove and keen to test himself? Personally much more optimistic for the upcoming season now and with a full pre season for RS and new conditioner we should have a totally more confident, fit and hungry team from game 1 with Mamo still to come in after injury.
Agree a Hooker would be the icing on the cake but happy enough to go with current centre choices if need be for now. Smurph, Gaskell or Wood to choose from for now and hard to think that any of them would not perform well given a run.
New season now looming - COYG.

The 2 signings have made the squad look so much stronger and one more would be the icing on the cake for sure but if not I still believe it is strong enough. I think our squad depth is completely fine - I hear we may have promoted 3 youngsters which at a guess would be Izaac Farrell, Harry Woollard & Matty English to the first team squad which will give us a squad of 31 players.
