On friday at full time a guy who was stood next to me asked Tongia for his shirt and he replied this is my first 1 but ill give you 1 next year. But we shall see what happens. Either way if he stays or goes there's other players we can sign.

As far as Tongia is concerned I would like to keep him, but as with every other player, his assessment of his own worth has to come somewhere close to the clubs assessment of his worth.
This I suspect is where the deal might fall down.

You are correct I think, sometimes the risk is taken contract wise. I feel a decent contract is in order to entice him enough for a year. If he has a good season then come mid next year we will see if he is worth the bigger money.

Would be good to take a chance on him. Modern day full back. Sign that dotted line and let's see what you got Tongia.

I hope we do take a risk on him. Hes got elements to his game that you just cant coach ie, that show n go at warrington. Although he does take risks imo hes definately worth the gamble

He has speed, a step and good in broken play and chasing back.

As I said a tomkins like player in style.

A risk worth taking and would like to see him stay at wakey.

Must admit i'm ambivalent to whether he stays or not. My worry is can he catch and tackle?
Strikes me as the kind of player that is good if you're winning and bad if you're losing. That said not seen him much so who knows what the reality is

He can tackle well on chase back. Seems ok at tackling without being spectacular.
Catching also seems ok. Had the odd head rush and lost one or two but don't all.


He is an attacking full back clearly. Something we have not seen at wakey in years.

Tony looked good at fb too vs bulls.

There are options though.
Tony at fb, Murphy had a good stint there too.

maybe its Wakefield that havent offered him a contract for next year? talk about jumping to a conclusion!!!

He needs signing up, has that something about him that people will pay to go to watch. He might not get it right everytime but i think he's worth the risk.

he has signed up

Aye but is it for us? ( crosses fingers )

Spot on. The type of player who will have you pulling your hair out one minute and doing cartwheels the next. Looks to have the x factor

Tongia the wildcat

hope your right mate. But whats changed from last night if hes said hes had 2 other offers has he signed today?
