Tangata signed for Halifax! Am I living in some sort of alternative universe here or what!

Ink must be dry

From twitter....

Ian Laybourn @ILaybourn @WTrinityRL have confirmed they have made an offer for Tonga international Andrew Fifita that could reunite him with twin brother David at Belle Vue.

Getting nerves and hope he says yes

Would they risk being a prop down (Tangata to Halifax) unless they were pretty certain that they were signing a replacement?

I know some have concerns regarding his fitness and others with his attitude if he does arrive.
I have to say I couldn't care less about any of the above
The club
in my view have taken a giant stride to show some ambition and hopefully send a message out to fans and other clubs that we are not just making the numbers up.
Marketing big Dave and his brother could see fans returning in numbers.
Just hope this now happens.

Prob bring in a full back

I seem to remember David saying a couple of years ago that it was an ambition of his and Andrews to play together before they retired. We can only hope that it's at Trinity.

You are right. I’ve got my reservations but there’s no point worrying about it really until we’ve seen him put the shirt on. I think half of writing him off though was because many of us are in denial of it happening so you just write it all off as a bad job. Carter has delivered from his side though.

Andrew Fifita was once one of the worlds best players and one that could have got into any NRL club side
His signing will certainly whet the appetite of the Wakey fans and the media will also quite rightly be all over this signing which is also very good publicity for both Wakey and the SL when we need it most

It will be interesting to see how long a contract that he has signed at the club and also If his wage is being subsidised too by Cronulla Sharks in order to get him off their salary cap?
So perhaps Wakey have got a bit of a free hit with him cap wise?

I hope that he rips it up in SL for Wakey, But doesn't anyone find it strange that no other NRL club or SL club for that matter showed any interest in him?

Reports from down under say that both of his knees are shot to pieces

I remember a certain Ray Price coming over ,he had shot knees was one of a good signing for us
