S'au has tweeted this morning that he is in??

thought Tasi was in the Samoa squad?

Samoa Squad:

SAMOA: Roy Asotasi (South Sydney Rabbitohs), David Fa’alogo (Newcastle Knights), Pita Godinet (New Zealand Warriors), Harrison Hansen (Wigan Warriors), Masada Iosefa (Wests Tigers), Faleniu Iosi (Letava Bulldogs), Tim Lafai (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs), Joseph Leilua (Newcastle Knights), Teofilo Lepou (Marist Saints), Reni Maitua (Parramatta Eels), Penani Manumeasili (Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks), Mose Masoe (Penrith Panthers), Suaia Matagi (New Zealand Warriors), Arden McCarthy (Point Chevalier Pirates), Anthony Milford (Canberra Raiders), Junior Moors (Melbourne Storm), Edward Purcell (New Zealand Warriors), Ben Roberts (Parramatta Eels), Iosia Soliola (St Helens), Sauaso Sue (Wests Tigers), Mark Taufua (Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks), Ionatana Tino (Apia Barracudas), Daniel Vidot (St George Illawarra Dragons), Antonio Winterstein (Brisbane Broncos)

Parishwasn't know for his man-management - maybe he hasn't told S'au yet.

Junior Sau is definitely in the squad.

It looks that way from his twitter/instagram, but all the sites listing a revised 24 man team don't include him...

possibly made the 26 person squad but not the final 24.

Whilst he's not listed in the 24 man squad, he's been tweeting about it, including a photo of his tour bag, in the last 7 hours (i.e. since the squad was trimmed). He'll be well gutted if the squad on the rlwc2013 site is correct.

Hope he hasn't just taken Red League's word as gospel. I'm still getting my Elliott Whitehead tattoo lasered off.

NZ & Samoa have both dropped b******s this world cup, I feel for the disappointed players.

Junior S'au was also listed in a 26 man squad.

So three Salford bound Samoa players are out of the World Cup squad , Coached by two ex Salford Coaches .....

Is Samsoni Langi who's in the Togan WC squad any relation to Junior (voluminous trumper) Langi?

Asotasi Goes missing from Samoa team . fails to make the flight ,

Less than a week after dropping S'au , and Puletua to get a 24 man squad, one of Parish's chosen 24 ducks out , not sure who is being drafted in to replace?

He's said he's bringing in a 'younger player', so that rules Puletua out.

Unless Asotasi has a convincing reason for not turning up - and by 'convincing' I mean some kind of hostage situation - you'd think Warrington would have to be a bit concerned about this development.

Well, Sa'u still isn't showing in the squad on the RLWC website, but he is in the country. However, the RLWC website does have Tony Puletua down as a "one to watch" for Samoa so doesn't appear to be gospel.

Tony smith has been quoted as saying - the gone missing stuff from Parish is unfair

“Roy is having a knee clean-out in the next couple of weeks,” said Wolves’ head of coaching and rugby.
“It is nothing too serious, just a tidy-up of floating cartilage and once he gets that operated on he will go into rehabilitation, hence his withdrawal from the Samoan set-up.
=#FF0000“He (Parish) is quite a different coach, if you haven’t already worked that out and I would suggest this has been unfair on Roy. “Roy is a man with a very good reputation of excellent integrity.

My twitter alter ego asked him if he's in the squad to which he replied sure am. And he's put up Instagram pic of him and some of the other players having tea in Warrington.

At least he's stopped messaging the chairmans daughter since that thread appeared on here.

Looking forward to the world cup. Good to have a bit of a Salford interest in the tournament as well.

Sau has just Instagramed a video of him going passed the AJB stadium on the coach, so despite what some websites say he seems definitely in the squad to me, but hey he better not listen to me as I said Elliot whitehead was seen at the stadium parading around in rebel the devils costume!!

[url=http://www.rlwc2013.com/rugby-league-world-news/article/1177/samoa-announce-team-to-faceSamoa have named a 25-man squad[/url

Junior Sau named on the subs bench for tomorrows fixture so becomes the 1st of our new signings to 'play' on his new home team ground ..

Presumably one of tomorrow's team will have to be cut before the tournament starts next week if the RLWC rules are for 24 man squads.


There is another Salford connection in the World Cup. Ex-conditioner Alex Corvo is the Aussie Squad's head conditioner. After the state of our relegated team in 2002 I was amazed to hear that news, and then even more amazed to find that since he left Salford he's been Melbourne Storm's conditioner. Maybe he's had better resources and team culture than he had at Salofrd in 2002.

Corvo !
More about the quality of the merchandise as the quality of the workmanship.
2002 he was ' conditioning ' his brother, Neil Baynes & Warren Jowitt. with Salford 's technical Sponge .to 5 wins & relegation.

2013 - Cameron Smith- Paul Gallen, Andrew Fifita ,the best Gps - and all the best ASADA proof medical science has to offer , and a sponge.
