I'd be disappointed if true not sure if he's what we need. Hope we hang onto John too, watched our season highlights the other day and reminded me he made some great plays. Pass out to charlie near begining of the season was mirror of smith pass that everyone raves about. If he'd brought his kicking boots would we have signed Sykes?

Passionate or is it young Issac? For what its worth, i agree with you but for Kiwi teddy bear in NRL read decent ESL impact prop.

A pack containing Amor, Raleigh, Wilkes, Poore & James as Props with Kirmond, Ali & Mariano in SR accompanied with young players promoted from within would be ideal. Yes Moses would be a nice luxury if we can get the best out of him but its important we keep that pathway available for our academy players who have the potential.

I'm all for imports such as Aiton, Collis, Smith & Poore who have established themselves in the NRL but we've talent on our doorsteps too

lol how wish i was his age!! Let alone the opportunities the young have these days. But have the injuries to prove those days are over for me - bugger (we were tougher in my time). To old to play now but am a Ref (giving back to the game I love). My opinion is totally from watching alot of Moses games - not from what is written on the net. And on that point he is a really nice fella and so is his family!!!

I agree with this too!! But until RL sorts out the lower grade to promote our youth this is not going to happen. one step forward two steps back. Sad but true.

Sounds like a Kiwi friend of Issac John to me having joined the forum around three weeks before Issac John signed for Wakefield in October 2011 and a few weeks after Ali signed in August 2011. Very knowledgeable about both Masoe, John & Tim Smith from your previous posts over the season as well as knowing Masoe and his family?

Its not Ali is it?

Whether Masoe signs or not WTW can't afford to keep I.J. as we have sufficient cover from other players in our squad (L.Smith/P.Sykes/M.Wildie) and may be Bobbie Goulding Junior?
We have a stronger pack with Poore and maybe James will develop further this season into a top prop.
