You even tried to have a joke at my expense for saying we’d bring in another decent signing So we can’t have signed Caius Faatili can we, because you’re never wrong Come to think of it, we can’t have signed Jayden Myers either cos you’re in the know and have the ear of Ste Mills

[quote="Pat Bateman":3ax5u3e6]Class, just what we needed. Chuffed with this one. Absolutely loving getting these players over that 99% of the fans haven’t heard of and they rip it up. His brother looks the real deal too, at Cronulla-Sutherland from what I’ve read.[/quote:3ax5u3e6] yes both got massive potential hopefully, anyway we not done yet

[quote="God":2qi5q41p]yes both got massive potential hopefully, anyway we not done yet [/quote:2qi5q41p] Can’t handle this

Never heard of him but looks a fans favourite in the making. The recruitment team have done a good job so far with most of our overseas recruits abd let’s hope this one follows suit. Obviously anyone can look impressive on a highlights reel but whilst he doesn’t look overly big he looks to be very mobile, dynamic with good feet. He looks to offer a point of difference over what we currently have a bit like Mago at Wigan with an impact style coming off the bench who can create all kinds of issues once the bigger minute props take a bit of the intensity out of the game. Total guess though obviously as never seen him beyond the intro made by the club.

And I guess they changed their minds .....I think they are allowed.....but still released someone to add another. And I've never said I had his ear. He said it in public. But enjoy your moment if you want to.

If God is right, and he’s never been wrong on here, we’re bringing him over as a 13.

Thanks for providing the opportunity, maybe don’t be so quick to ridicule in the future eh? On a more serious note, looks a good signing. I agree with an earlier comment that he shares some Fifita traits but looks as if he needs some proper conditioning

Struggling to find any video/highlights of him...has anyone got a link please ??

[quote="FIL":1t4p3nz3]So do we call him Fart or Tealeaf ?? [/quote:1t4p3nz3] It depends if he is within earshot.

Sorry but i look at him and think Boris Johnson… mind you he had a good hand off on those Japanese kids

what's that coming over the hill? Its it a monster???

Cheers PT....looks like another one out of the Rodwell mould

Looks like big Dave mark 2 to me! I reckon he's gonna go great in SL!

[quote="Pat Bateman":36qp4ejf]He’ll do for me, looks a right handful. Just been reading he was in the Storm preseason the other year so obviously has something very good about him. Also just read we beat Warrington to his signature[/quote:36qp4ejf] That’s great if we beat two teams to his signing. Length of the deal is a little short I feel but I’m sure he will be made welcome and it could lead to longer deal. The absolute strange thing is, although we beat them to his signing, they can still freely talk to him about 2026 and sign him before he even gets to Wakefield. What a bizarre state of affairs that is.

Just keep calm and enjoy the ride

I think what I like most about the strategy employed by Powell and Mills is that all our overseas recruitment has been young players brought up in NRL discipline and borderline NRL squad selection... Super League is perfect for these guys... we have not had to do much in terms of physical development, or mental preparation... and we have developed an environment and culture which allows them to settle and blossom.

Welcome to Caius Faatili! Looking forward to seeing him play in the red white and blue .. He looks like a stocky powerful and quick prop forward that is a bit different to the other props. Coming off the bench as an impact player possibly?

Mills's research and eye for the stats is invaluable to us. The fact we can beat other more successful clubs to a signature has a lot to do with the environment we are creating and the word of mouth from those already here.

I can't see where it says he's only signed for a year?

Lol. Oh yes. In the first line. Doh!

I reckon someone coming over at 23 who has been on the cusp of the NRL hasn't limited his deal to one-year just so he can have the option of signing for another Super League club. He's done it to put himself in the NRL window. Irony is that if he is fantastic we'll lose him to the NRL, but we'll have one great year. We could do with him being at the David Fifita level, where he's great for us but just not quite good enough for the NRL! I'm quietly confident about this year. I can think of a few clubs we'll be better than.
