Let’s hope we aren’t too late to the party and all the agents have got their players settled at clubs whilst we were still sweating on relegation . I’m positive Willie will have some irons in the fire on the recruiting front , and hopefully that will accelerate after a win tonight . On a final note , James Tamou anyone ? According to Phil Gould on his podcast, last game for Tigers n looking for a club overseas

Obviously in the twilight of his career but Tamou would still do an amazing job. More so is his leadership and stature. |

| Quote vastman="vastman"You'll find with Belly that at the merest hint of a player leaving they suddenly gain god like status, From being a fringe player, which he is, Belly and a few others have now elevated him to Gareth Ellis status. It's ridiculous we know that, but thats what they do, when in truth he's just gone OK for his age.
I just about get it with Batch even if I don't think he's a superstar, but Aydin, seriously! I'd prefer we kept him and see how he goes but if he left I wouldn't lose a moments sleep. If he makes it big at HKR then good for him, but I don't see anything in him that makes that a certainty.
If you compare him to Eseh or Shaw he was not at their level at 18-19 and physically never will be. Eseh and Shaw may not have the game time yet but both have far more potential, especially physically and at prop thats the biggy for me.
If we have to let Aydin go to allow those two to stay then to me that looks a calculated risk worth taking.
Let's be right here, a club like Trinity can only really afford to run with two young and inexperienced props, I wish it were otherwise but its a juggling act as ever.
Despite this Aydin will join that non-existent team of future internationals who come back to never ever haunt us in any way whatsoever.
 '"
Pretty much how I see it. I’m expecting big things from Eseh and to a lesser degree Shaw but both seem to have the size and attributes. I watched an academy game a few weeks ago and a prop called Mukhalani looks like another big unit coming through.
As for NRL recruits we need a big enforcer prop. Martin Taupau is another NRL prop with huge experience who may be worth a punt for a year. |

Doesn't work like that.
Just in the same way it appears the Batch/Miller/Aydin stuff is tied up I'm sure WP will have his plans all in place and just awaiting the formalities (hopefully). |

WP interview today saying they will scour the earth for players to come to us. How I see it is look how quickly he got a quality replacement in like Taufua, albeit he crocked himself unfortunately in his 2nd game. If we win tonight I’ll be excited but also wary of he we start to announce.

Yep, you have to assume Poching is far more connected with the Southern Hemisphere than CC and that's not a dig at Chester.
All these island players know each other to some degree and people like Poching will know the good ones from the less so - hopefully. |

This. Of all the times to rebuild a team then this could really throw up a few fringe players who haven’t been getting the spotlight but have a chance at centre stage. |

No I don't, do tell. What would you like me to call the close knit group of South Sea islanders who play RL.
This is getting ridiculous now.
