When does he get here

"Faatili will be jetting over to join Trinity in the next week or so and should be available for the clubs Round 1 clash with Leeds Rhinos at AMT Headingley."

Wouldn’t expect him to play for a couple of games till he’s settled in unless needed ofcourse but it does sometimes happen.

Thinking about it I do believe we will see him at Loose with Pitts.

Be an interesting scrap for that spot between Vagana and Faatili!

Guessing Neil Tchamambe is the guy.

Welcome to the Forum Mr. Stevie Wonder.....

Welcome to the club Caius!



And to God, the only thing scary about him is his Barnet!
