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.

Ratu is exempt due to being from RU. (I think)

He's cap exempt this season and 50% cap next, but I'm pretty sure he can be quota exempt only if the RFL agree to allow it.
