If I'm not mistaken I think he watched last night's game on the top balcony where Chester and Co. stand.

Id heard the same.

Hes a big unit according to wikipedia bigger than Frank the tannk.

If he is a replacement for Anderson then i would go with that. Could be used at first as impact prop from bench.

Just a bit concerned that we were also in the hunt for that winger too the other week plus also that centre from Batley

Fifita is on his way, no second thoughts involved, he just wants to get out there on the pitch and get started as soon as he's allowed.

He's just the boost we need and just the player we need because we lack size up front and the games we've lost have been because we've been bullied in the middle especially when England and Scruton are off the field.

IMO Fifitas introduction will help Anthony Tupou release his best form on the edges as well, it's a bit like dropping the key stone into the top of an arch, suddenly the whole structure works.

Whats the delay avenger?

Nice arch analogy, certainly a new one on me

Not really a delay just normal visa process

When it comes down to Trinity and visas there is always a delay!
Seems strange that Shudders annd Widnes recently got players signed and over here in days plus countless other examples in recent years.
What is the delay-anyone have a rational answer?

Maybe it's taken Hudds and Widnes just as long, and they've kept it quiet till it was a done deal, just a thought.

So long as it's not like the Keystone cops

Heard a rumour that he may not have played enough NRL games to qualify for a visa ????

Can't see that being the case given Bradford have just signed a reserve grade full back

I would point out he is Tongan therefore the visa should not be related to his NRL appearances.

Maybe don!t 'oil the wheels' as well as others??

Years ago Trin were looking at some South Sea Islander and Wigan got wind of it and had all the paperwork filled in and he was in the squad before we knew he had been poached. A few weeks later he came down with a bug and didn't play for them again. That's why we usually keep things under wraps until they are donning the red, white and blue.

I think you are refferring to Quentin Pongia there
He did a season with Wigan then had to retire has he had hepititas B

Yep, it was something along those lines.
We couldn't sign him because of 'X' problem but Wigan signed him without a problem.
