Says who - a reported signing on here is hardly proof positive is it. |

| Quote: MashPotatoes "This guy is either going to be immense this year or a massive massive disappointment. There will be no middle ground. He's 33, he's shown signs of real quality without backing it up with serious gametime. I'm backing him to have a great pre season, get some hard work in. Get that fitness level up to what's required and get some smiles on these Trinity fans faces.'"
Id love you to be right but from what you read and tbf from what we saw he's physically knackeres and beyond repair so it seems unlikely |

Probably because he's a decent bloke who likes to do things face to face.

I'm not gonna claim I know the answer to that. His family have definitely gone though. |

Yep, I think he's come back back because he is a top professional and believes in doing things right and also to say his farewells to his antipodian team mates. |

If some of the above is true I'd expect a press release within the next week or so possibly...unusual though as MC said in Yorkshire Radio interview that no quota spots left and would have to look for 'English, French or even Russian prop'....
It's a real shame that Anthony Tupou couldn't take over from where Ali Lauitiiti left off but as already said physically he appears to have some sort of serious hip injury issue walking with a permanent limp.
As it turned out big Ali played second grade at New Zealand Warriors last season and Tupou showed only glimpses of what he could do with ball in hand although defensively he always appeared very strong. His try at home to Catalan coming off the bench when the team were down 0:26 where he ran onto the ball extremely hard carrying 3 over the line was one of those rare moments.

I think MC plays the game. As for Ali he didn't play many games in the reserve grade and would have offered no more tha Tupou.
I think it's a lesson learned - if nothing else sign players who are 100% fit.

We've never been that lucky with big name signings.
Laurie Daley, Mark Graham, Steve Ella, Brent Todd, these are some I can think off the top of my head.
We seem to get better value out of 'lesser' players.
Heard Fensom is back in the picture.

No, he didn't even leave Australia.
Like Vasty says, got injured in Oz and that was that.
He made it onto some RL trading cards you could buy at the time but obviously didn't have our strip on! |
