Apparantly giant Samoan prop Charlie Leaeno will be joining to replace homesick Shane Tronc. This was reported in one of todays national papers, express i think.

Don't know much about him, is he any good?

IMO we need to open our bank book and sign Ratchford from Salford.

Charlie Leaeno looks a big enough unit. Lets see what King John and Beans can do with him.

I can't find any clips of him on youtube or owt, but he's a big unit and Samoan, so hopefully he's got that slightly unhinged, aggressive fend and trample on your face go-forward style that players from that part of the world seem to favour. Has the club confirmed the signing yet btw? Nothing on the website.

As for Ratchford - that'd be a decent signing imo. Alternatively, I hear a certain Cas player is experiencing some discipline problems atm; what he needs is a coach who knows how to get the best out of misfits and bad boys....

There's 2 from what i have been told. Both are on stupid money for what they are worth though.
Ratchford on the other hand won't be on anywhere near the 110K+ both Westy and Chase are on. I bet if we offered SR 75/80K we could get him in a snap.

Would Ratchford want to come though?

Why would he not want to?!












Oh wait...

Top 8 or bottom 2??

Wakefield seems like Melbourne if your in Salford everyday! Trust me I know!!!!

Maybe we should have shipped Tronc'y there early on, after a week there he would think he was living the life of a bent MP!

Fair play, just don't sponsor him!

Sandal Cat is the one with the Midas touch when it comes to sponsorship... all he sponsors leaves for gold.

Maybe I might have better luck sponsoring??

Just have to find some money first!

Wakefield vs Salford is not hard, but i'm looking at it as a supporter of Wakefield. Looking in the other direction it would be, for a young prospect who would have many suitors if he were to leave, equally unattractive. A small club with pitiful crowds vs a less small club with poor crowds. I think it's a little disrespectful to just assume a player from another club would want to play for your club. I know it annoys me when to boots on the other foot.

Having said that it would be great if Trinity could sign him though. If the planning for Newmarket is granted and Salford's goes tits up (which seems unlikely now) then the powers of persuasion would favour Trinity more then now.

No - because there are no 'done deals' at this time!

after witnessing it first hand yesterday, wouldn't Witt be an ideal replacement for brough?

could (would?) we pay a fee for him?

Leaeno looks to have the size, but the class??????
