confirmed on the website hes been granted a visa and just waiting for his passport now to jump on the plane... here this week

wont play v saints

so that can shut the rumours up and those who said he will not be coming. we can moan about next weeks result v saints now instead.

So it was politicians pulling strings in the background that got the visa sorted,but not Baz Sheepman.It was Holme Valley MP Jason McCartney and All Parliamentary Rugby League Group secretary Mark Ramsdale who prevented a further delay in the application.

Must thank the tory boy macca,as he is first and foremost a big Huddersfield Town fan.

How come nothing was being done until Barry Sheerman was contacted?It was he who took this business on.I have no recollection of any other MP but Barry Sheerman doing anything about the visa problems suffered by RL players.Barry was the man who passed on the complaint to the Foreign Office,up until that point I have heard nothing in relation to the problem from any other MP.
I must say though, that whoever if anyone did help, well done. Although I find it strange how Ukumas' visa etc was granted so quickly after Barry passed it on to the FO.
Never trusted MPs anyway especially the Tories.

You've really got to love the negative rumour mill

awful signing

he's no longer being allowed in the country

how can the club allow this

how has he been able to fail the exams

and all of the above on the back of false information from some unknown source who apparently is the fountain of all knowledge. This is then backed up by other members jumping on the bandwagon of hearing the same story from the bloke who goes in same butchers as theirs wifes sisters 2nd cousin., but were too afraid to pipe up long ago because it wasn't confirmed, but then decide to pipe up once someone else has (it must be true due to the delay)

Excellent work

You trust the cheating claiming Labour lot then, there are far more Labour men on the gravy train than the tories.

its all gone quiet on here now its been announced hes actually coming!!

Go figure - now the club has made an official announcement there's nothing to speculate about. Hmmmmmmmm.

After filling in their expenses forms it leaves little time for much else.
McCartney is a big sports fan,round ball game though,maybe that's why Baz got him involved.

All's well that ends well though.

7 pages of entertainment this thread has been

Why didn't you turn up 7 pages ago? Like it or not, rumour is pretty much what keeps these boards (and casual interest in the club) going in the off-season.

LF13, rumours are fantastic & do keep the conversations flowing, but it amazes me that 90% of the rumours on here are all negative

As pointed out above, the posters were quick to destory the club with negative comments, this also means potential fans & current fans who think highly of the club suddenly become concerned (elements of doubt creep in)

The original poster was so confident this was the case & felt the need to share the false information (which even if they had a strong link with an employee of the club, Ukuma's agent or Ukuma himself has never been the case throughout the signing) they still felt the need to post the negative lies.

They obviously dont have a good contact within the club & as suggested, they've obviously picked it up from the chinese whispers around the area

Ahhhhhh...Just figured out who you are!! Welcome back to RLFans, it's been a few years now since you were banned.

the club said all along they were confident and it was just a hold up..

may play v london!

imagine him at mount pleasant

Not sure who you think I am PONNER, but I have never previously been signed up for this forum nor have I ever been banned?

arrives today??

prob not seen snow before

Plane departs today, arrives tomorrow evening, reports to training thursday morning

Apparently he's already landed. Hope the snow doesn't scare him off

Now Ponner -- you really have a wicked mind --but then --when someone publishes gems of spin like this :- [iThis is a fantastic signing and one which will truly help us going for trophy's this season

Scott came to the Giants last time after being stagnant at Castleford, and had 2 years left on his current saints contract. He came to the Giants in 2009 and how anyone can say he ran crab like along the line and threw a panic pass is beyond me! He went back to saints and wasn't used right, he moved in with a bad crowd at Widnes, and he's now in last chance saloon. He's got friends at the club also.

Huddersfield have had their fair share of bad boys, Lolesi being one of the worst in recent years![/i

you really should be prepared to show some respect, listen, and get your facts right first



Like others previously though , if it happens , its a well known fact that you can always Genetically Modify ) yourself and come back again see?

Ps Lolesi was delegated for official duties representing the club (fact)
So surely he was`nt ALL bad eh?

He's come from New Zealand, I'm sure he'll have ventured to South Island a few times.

apparently hes arrived and never seen snow before!

Yes Ta'ai is settling in to his new house so it shouldn't be too long before we see our beast unleashed

in training today doing all the tests.... wigan or wakefield game we may see him first put on the claret and gold!!

pic of him in the examiner today,, 6ft 3 and 14st 7lbs

taai, odonnell, ferres, chan in the second row

Think that should be 16st 7lbs mate.

oops!!

he would be faster at 14st though

interview now on giants website

says hes been training with monty betham doing alot of boxing

david faiumu is his godfather over here and helping him out!

and expects to shock a few people and isnt shy talking about how physical he likes to get in a game
