I don’t know much about his personal life, other than he appeared to walk away from Sale to take his family back to Australia and possibly to qualify and play for his native country and it is surprising that he is playing over here again for a lower league RU team
And I don’t want to be argumentative on this forum, but to say that there are 100 other options for the wing seems to me to be a gross exaggeration. I won’t ask PT to name all of them.
There seem to have been some drug issues in his life too, but there are many, some even on here, who would have taken a punt on Zac Hardaker, with all his problems
There can be no doubt that Solomona is/was a good player and that for one and a bit seasons Daryl Power got the best out of him, I was simply making people aware that a ‘good ‘player was back on these shores, and not too old for a few seasons more
I don’t think we will see him in a Wakey shirt, but I think it undeniable that when he was playing Super League, his ability, marked at least by his scoring prowess, must surely rank higher than a number of current wingers at the club, some perhaps who we have still to see the best of

[quote="Wollo-Wollo-Wollo-Wayoo":2jhyihzn]Memories jerker of another James Evans who played a leading role in those 4 from 6 games back in 2006.[/quote:2jhyihzn] That brings back memories of the million pound game, sure it was Evans who scored when Beetham kicked the ball off the floor and it landed in his hands.

[quote="jonh":2lewmqk7]Why is every young player that leaves us labelled a “future International” after a handful of games in which they are unable to nail down a first team spot. Way I see it his utility place in the squad has been taken by Rourke for 2025 and we are adding some depth in the squad in a position we are a bit thin. Rourke is a proven top level player in SL and of the 2 he’s the better option for Trinity going forward.[/quote:2lewmqk7] Agree ,takes a big step up from playing in the championship to playing international rugby .Even the great D Topliss who was playing in the Wakefield first team at 18 played international rugby about twice .And N Wright also playing at 18 in the first team never got near international rugby and he was a match winner

But agree with your point.

If Booth is a future international does that make Pratt a future golden boot winner? It’s just paper talk. If he’d have signed for Cas/Hudds etc barely an eyelid would have been batted.
