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.

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'"
You are going to lose it if we signed another tomorrow. 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?

Completely agree.
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.

Yes it is strange when you put it like that. Usually option for a second year isn’t there.

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

| 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.

I am curious where we will see him play. Seems he can play prop and 13. We may see him spell with Pitts at 13 to start with.
