Yes I believe they hope to have him available for next week which suggests this deal as been ongoing sometime with visas etc.

Possibly, certainly seems quick, which is good.

Anyone who saw Tupou in the reserves that night around 4 weeks ago knew that his season was over and he would not be playing again. Nobody wanted to say it because Tupou is all class and a top guy. It was clear to me that was that on the night.

I would imagine we have been exploring options since then so probably a few weeks in the process.

I bet he can't wait to get started after today...

Bit of good news jorge is now here

That’s great news. To be fair to the guy he will just want to come here and play to put himself in the limelight.

I’m looking forward to seeing him play. We very much need to sort the right side backs out. I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing Taufau and Kershaw line up next week at centre/wing.

I hope he doesn’t expect this type of weather every day because he will be in for a shock.

Well, there's no pressure for him is there?
Save our season Jorge!

Jorge the Season Saver!
Just seen a piece on Fox Sports where they were bigging him up,,,,

He merely has to do the same as the little dutch lad and put his finger in the hole in the dyke.

.....Or pull a sword out of a stone.........

Think he would have to use all 8 fingers and ten toes

Sadly though it's true, he is hopefully our saviour as very few others seem willing to step up.

Jorge was at the ground yesterday when lads where in for the match review from saturday.he did go into changing room and introduce himself and shake hands with every one of the lads plsying for the reserves

Hopefully no broken fingers.
