Been released by West Tigers,got a season ending injury.

Keep up pal, its all over the recruitment thread

Can't always check my phone with my wife barking orders at the bottom of the ladder

Fair play hahaha

Has had the odd good game with some big hits but overall pace wise and defensively has been caught out and had a few big Injuries. I know his young buy feel we might have seen him at his best. He went home for family reasons and was prepared to play reserve grade so a super League even Hull move is unlikely

If we was going to sign him , we’d have know. A while ago he wasn’t getting a deal at wests , so we wouldn’t have signed either swift or Faraimo I reckon . Plus him and Faraimo in the same team wouldn’t fill me with confidence.

I loved his time here and I bet he hasn’t had the adulation at Wests he found here.
That said, he was rocks and diamonds. I think he was lucky to keep his Wembley place in 2017, but then had a big game.
He was good for bringing the ball out and winning penalties on the back of that, but I really think we need the injection of pace that Swift brings.
Our money needs to be invested in line breaking forwards.

Speedy wingers just aren't that valuable any more. Power beats pace every time in the modern game imo.

If we sign him it would be a bit of a 'heart over head' decision. That said, you couldn't blame the club for wanting him back in the fold, given how he performed during his time here.

I watched him play v storm about 5-6 weeks ago
He played the full game
He caused them defensive problems particularly in the last 15 mins
He’s bulked up more and looked to be a bit overweight but but but
He played the full 80 and was a handful in a much fitter game over here in Aus

I’d have him back in a heartbeat
He is a game changer !!!
I credit him with a major part of the CC success

Agreed. It's not very often you see a winger have a clean break and race down the line any more, gone are the days of the Calderwood type wingers. It's taken Regan Grace a few seasons to gain the power to match his pace. Fetuli was a great winger for us and was never the fastest.

Much as I liked Fonua,think myself we have moved on.

We’re you not there last Friday Ratu clean break from 5 yards.

I wasn't, no. I've moved to Bristol a few years ago and don't get to many games now, unfortunately.

I have seen Ratu's try from 5 yards, but it's the first time he's done it. Hopefully he'll carry that on.

It's obviously great to have pace, but you rarely see wingers race down the touchline now. It's more usual that, as with the case of Ratu, wingers bust tackles mid field which you need power to do. Wingers can't rely purely on pace anymore.
