Let's hope he can persuade Sam to return also, let's hope Tongia is given a chance, he has done well

Aye, let's get Tony and Tongia battling for the fb spot, then bring in Phelps and Cockayne, to continue the grand tradition of collecting fb's.

Would rather the club keep a lid on the number of imports they bring to the club.

Tongia looks an exciting prospect but also a liability. His kick returns scare me to death but his unpredictability is something the club have sorely lacked this, and last, season. With him an Lauititi in the side this will certainly be rectified.

From the little I've seen of Tongia he could be one of the most exciting players to don the shirt for a while, he'll cost a few points but he'll score some and add lots of flair and unpredictability to the side

This looks like one of the better back line that we have had for a long time lets see who actually signs. A return of sam obst would be welcome aswell but only time will tell on that front!!

Signing Obst would be a backward step in my opinion. We're covered at hooker and he isn't good enough to play in the halves. It would be a very uninspiring signing for me.

As I have said in previous posts I like Sam as a player and a person, but the fact is he abandoned ship when the going got tough.

That's not my understanding - the administrator sold him (as he did others) to raise money for creditors. I think it would have been difficult for players to refuse as there was no certainity that the club wouldn't simply fold. Sam always gave everything for Trinity. He wasn't simply a journeyman looking for the best way to get more money.

Tongia we need to keep hes exciting for the fans yeah sure he will make mistakes but so what his excitiment alone is desperatly needed in the team. Along with big ALI next year will be exciting.

I refer my learned gentleman to Aaron Murphy.

Your ability to take and misunderstand someone elses opinion and then quote it in a way that fits your argument is truly stunning.

I'm not trying to second guess Bigal1 here, maybe you are right but when he says exciting I'm not sure he means it quite in the way you think.

Err I think he means Big Ali our latest signing from Leeds .....

Would like to see Tongia signed up, he seems to have that X factor that we' have lacked for quite a while. Yes he'll make mistakes but lets not forget he's only just turned 21, theres plenty of learning still in him.

Theres been no official announcement about either Trout or Davey I believe. Would like to see some confirmation of these very soon.

No he doesn't
