| Quote: Old Blighty "I hope you are right, there are some odd sorts in the Shire!!... (that said I mentioned this signing to a long standing Cronulla fan who I work with and his response was 'who's he?')....
but If I am honest I still stick with my original post... this is not a first grade player... and has not shown significant form for over 3 years now.
and so what if the players have a good word for him... remember we signed Brent Todd on the back of a recommendation from Mark Graham... and it ruined our season.'"
Would that be the same Brent Todd who became an excellent Kiwi international prop?  |

Yet another expert, come on fella.
How many players join us without breaking post in the NFL and go onto be great signing - do some fans never learn - give him a chance in a Trinity shirt before bagging him, in fact let him actually sign first  |

Judging by the number of forrad passes on Friday night, I think only Leeds sign players from the NFL.

Lets judge him on performances he puts in in a trinity shirt shall we? If we were to judge on playing history for other clubs more than half of our squad would have already been written off.
In my opinion Australian Rugby League is far superior to English Super league in the talent pool. Mentions of him not been a first grade player over there, well he has been playing first grade, i trust the judgement of the coaches of 2 sides that are in the best rugby league competition in the world. I dont think he would get in those teams for nothing.

Indeed the 3 ex Huddersfield lot wouldnt have been here and Tim Smith would have only lasted 5 games! Does anyone still remember the name of the guy (scrum half) who left and went part time at Batley? The most vociverous was NGB4C, just shows he's not alway right  Agar has a good record with who he wants (id even suggest if Steve Southern was played at 2nd row and not Prop he would have been great for us). The only let down for me has been Isacc John. if we've learnt anything, its to give a player and coach at least half a season to get up to speed and get to know team mates, structures etc.

| Quote: Old Blighty "I saw every game he played for Cronulla, to be fair he came from Parra with big wraps, and started off ok... In a team which was losing far more than it won... By the end of season one the fans were screaming for his head, and he made very few appearances in season two... He went back to Parra and I am sure that they thought they could get him back to the form he had in his fist spell there (when he was a winger)... He has hardly featured this year. . For a team running last in the competition.
He is a really nice guy with all the physical attribute to be a good player... And on occasion he does something good... It's just very infrequent.
Still... He is held in higher regard than Tim Smith amongst the Cronulla fans... Sot there is hope!'"
Tim Smith is an excellent player for WTW and if Tauiti is of the same standard then he will be exceptional for WTW. He'll have a few familiar faces around him. WTW are not NRL it's a more open game and Issac John couldn't make it at WTW but has got in Penrith team so a move for a player can give more opportunities to develop their game.
As others have said judge him on his performances in the red, white and blue he has NRL pedigree so there is real ability there maybe he needs to be in a team that fights for each other and a coach that can instill belief?
Lets trust our coach whatever decision he makes when signing players he's done ok so far, this rumour could well be untrue anyway |

Ok you are right... I should ignor that I sat in the stand and watched him have increasingly poor and ineffective games for Cronulla... I should ignor his brain extols ions like kicking through on the first tackle from an attacking scrum.. And giving the game away... I will ignor the times his missed simple tackles or miss read in defence leaving a massive hole in the line.. I promise to ignor the relief felt when was announced as returning to parramatta... I can ignor the 30 or so times.i have seen him ply 'in the flesh' for my team... First and reserve grade.
I will wipe the slate an wish him well for his career with my first love... Trinity. I genuinely hope he is a success.
It is not a gamble I would have taken. But it's not my money!
