It`s a strange one, you would imagine that Fifita isn't happy playing for the Jets, I think Morris must have some kid of vendetta against him or have some sort of falling out as he went well in pre season and he never seems to drop players that have bad games week on week.

Cronulla will be desperate to get that wedge off there cap but I`m not sure there is an NRL team that would take him as every club has similar issues with rosters etc, the only place I can see is Cowboys if they get rid of Mcguire gets moved on as they are trying.

This is why this made so much sense but this morning I hear that he is on his way to Leeds.

If it is for one season, I question the value in bringing him over as I believe he will have a few games on the side-line for a ban anyway?

Quote: vastman "I do hope MC has better things to do than pander to the nonsense posted on forums and silly press stories. don't you?

He doesn't use social media any more, he made it clear he will not respond to the vile abuse it and distortions generates, would you? Go figure.'"


I go back to this every time but when Pauli Pauli arrived in the country, I saw him and spoke to him at Manchester airport (He actually told me that he was here to play for Wakefield), the rumour at the time that we had signed him was denied and when I posted on here by daddycool, I posted he must have signed for another club as I had just seen him at the airport and I was called a liar on the basis that he was still over in AUS.

Not sure the reason for that, may have been a very good reason but there is no denying that MC in the past had a track record of saying one thing and another thing happening, but since I knew that for certain first hand I tend to take anything with a pinch of salt.

I don`t believe we have signed AF, I think we maybe had a discussion with him but I think it was the classic agent saga, looking for a club in NRL or SL to take him, if you think about, we was probably the perfect club for that on the basis he has a strong link to wanting to play with big Dave and from what I hear that has worked out for them.

What do you mean early? The story only got going Sunday, and MC ruled it out yesterday. Also as been mentioned it’s nothing new with MC ruling out rumours. Don’t know why people are getting upset about this.

Personally I think Chester’s had enough money to play about with so it’s better to save some for the next coach.

The reason is very simple, agents will use Trinity as a bargaining chip. The players are happy enough to play for us but would obviously prefer Saints. If we don't give them the oxygen to spread the fire then bigger clubs lose interest. It goes way back. Solomona was sone under such secrecy that his team photo was ready well before his signing was announced. Heatherington was spitting feathers he'd missed Solomona, ask him, he still doesn't know how Trinity kept it so under the radar.

Ditto Kelepi. It's very hard for us to sign quality as we are never the first choice. The only positive is that most NRL players don't know who we are and probably get us mixed up with that legendary club that used to exist in the 1960s.

And when they arrive they can't believe they end up training at dog park?!

John Morris won’t be coaching them next year, they just appointed Craig Fitzgibbon as coach starting next season. Talk is Morris might get the push in the next couple of weeks as well. Could be a clean slate for Fifita there now, depends on what the new coach wants.

And yes he has been banned for a crusher tackle for the next 3 games anyway. To be honest if on social media you’ve seen the shocker of a late shot he somehow got away with the week before he should have been sat down down for a lot longer.

Morris has gone now so expect AF will be waiting to see what kind of shot he gets from the interim boss. He's off contract in 2022, he's on a good deal. He may be better advised to sit tight at the moment.

Was talking to big Dave yesterday and he reckons his brother will arrive next week. Make of that what you will. He might have been winding me up but it didn't appear so. We shall see.

MC has said, on more than one occasion, he will not discuss any Trinity matters, including signings, until every I and T, has been completed.
I’m sure most people would agree, that’s the correct way to conduct business.

What would I have to search for in order to listen to Mr Carter deny this rumour?

Yes but I didn`t say he had signed for Wakefield? I said I had seen him in Manchester Airport, which was rubbished.
