Reading between the lines it does seem as if it's still a long way off from actually happening, but if it does, it could certainly be an interesting situation! Just one thing kind of linked, as re. taking gambles with players who have had injuries, i'm pretty sure Josh Wood came off last season with a makeshift sling for his arm/elbow, does he have a weakness there? I know he missed the whole season for Salford in 2019, but not sure what his injury was. I noticed someone else mentioned Anthony Tupou, and let's not forget Pauli Pauli who we signed after his car accident etc, we just don't seem to have a good track record recently, but if he does come, and in a couple of months more and more fans are allowed back, surely he would put a thousand or two on attendances?'"
It would certainly be the biggest signing since Solomona and would likely eclipse that signing.
We could certainly do with some good news !

Absolutely, if he has half as much of an impact as what Solo did I think we'd all be well happy! I think if someone had asked me if we could have had Inglis or Fifita I would have certainly chosen Fifita, but I suppose we should all just calm down a bit......

If you’re not joking the is the most clueless post I’ve ever see.'"
You shouldn't be so sensitive to alternate opinions. It was mostly tongue in cheek but part of me fears it could well turn out to be one of those kinds of signings. The guys career has fallen apart in the last 12 months as well as his well-documented knee problems he's also been battling mental health and weight problems. Super League has a long list of big name 30 year old+ signings that just don't live up to the hype they just don't have the hunger for it. If what johnh says is right about him been offered up to all SL clubs and tuned away, well its a bit of a worry.
Positively I can see a big upside, both brothers together having that positive effect on each and sibling rivalry to spur them on. If he overcomes his problems and puts some big performances in it will be great for bums on seats and the club's profile. Lets just hope we have a big of luck with this one, gods knows were overdue.

| he would have to go some to get anywhere near even reaching what Solomona did for us, never mind eclipsing it!!
That said and as I said above I think it'd be a positive step, even tho we need cover in other positions more urgently as our attacking record of 34 puts in 3 games and only 1 try in each of last 2 games shows

Yes he defo did play and he played well
He lost 20 kilos in the off season
That’s an incredible amount of weight to lose

No. Wally was the best in the world at the absolute top of his game.

| You couldn't help but feel privileged to watch Wally, I can just about remember every game like it was yesterday.
If A F can come anywhere near his displays we will be in for a treat.

Some people are still waiting for Chase Stanley after that was reported as being a done deal!! Maybe the Club don’t announce anything because there is nothing to announce?

On another point can you remember that psycho who came with him Lindsay gill

Yes, I think we’ve both seen the same program on YouTube tonight. The commentator said he had spoken with MC about this story, nad he knows nothing of any talks between Trinity and AF.
Let’s put this to bed now, we all got a bit excited for a day. Return to reality now.

| I can remember, Didn't Wally bring Linsey Gill over.
That Hull match at home was full of guts and fire and the Halifax game was brilliant.
Fosters cans popping all over the place.
