That great news. We really need a boost in the forwards. I thought we were poor against Wigan yet almost snatched a win. Really basic errors let us down. If a new player coming in can bring some focus to the rest of the squad we might even have a decent run in instead of falling apart again, which is more than possible.

Hopefully Visa sorted and he will be in a flight In the next day or two, need him here and playing ASAP.

Does it say he’s coming to us? Great news if he is!

Would certainly bolster the front row for the run in if true and with injuries recovered would give us Taylor, Paea, Satae, Bowden whereas v Wigan we had Taylor, Green, Fash and Matongo.

Averaging over 200m a game in his last 4 games. Similar size to Tag, but bit more muscle!

Much needed boost to the pack, great that we get an early look at him eh, had a feeling this one would happen early

Am sure the HDM just use RL Fans instead of employing journalsts!

Great news and hopefully get him over soon. Well done FC

NZ Warriors fans not happy

Always a good sign

I had a good read of the warriors forum when his name cropped up a few months ago, and some absolute belting comments on there about him, i pasted a few on here awhile back.

They say hes great as your starting prop to soften the opposition line up, apparntly he doesnt just bend it , he scrunches it up into a ball hahaha

Let's hope the reports are true.



If he does come this season, the "quota" word crops up again.

My guess is Ratu is quota exempt this season (or isn't even a quota player) and so Talanoa's spot is up for grabs.
Otherwise someone is leaving/retiring early and I don't really see that happening.
