As Tautai is leaving for Wiggin, he will only get a one match ban!!

Taken from sky sports news:
"Tautai has the option of submitting an early guilty plea (EGP) but has almost certainly played his last game for the Wildcats having signed for Wigan from next season."
Can't beat putting the horse before the cart!

There's no point him submitting a egp is there ? He might as well fight the charge ...

Given some of the previous findings, where we've submitted EGP's and then other players have fought the same (or worse) charges and got off I'm with you. Might as well plead not guilty and see what happens, although given the colour of his shirt I'd say the chances of escaping a ban are very slim indeed.

Im really sad to see Tautai go hes signed for another club and gave everything every game. I wanted him for 1 more home game RFL will rob us of this. Child never gave a penalty. Sunday was a cracking game it was fab. Tautai has been a model professional hes had no secret agendas hes gave everything when he has wore the shirt. Owen had his best game against Cas Sunday he was solid i.e. hidden agenda as he is a Cas player and wanted to show up. Tautai 100% effort. Korki esc in a Wakey shirt. Quality

It's a shame Tautai won't get a send off on Sunday. I hope he escapes a ban.

As for Owen, he was goo in parts but horrible in others, so I disagree with it being his best game.

I hope TT is cleared to play on Sunday purely for the fact he deserves a good send off from the fans. It would have been easy for him to go through the motions after signing for Wigan but he's led from the front and injected pride and passion into the last half of the season. A top bloke.

He needs turn up for the appeal in a T'wigan shirt

I beg to disagree newgroundb4cas with regard to Owen. I thought he had an awful game on Sunday. Defensively if he'd performed better we might have won the match.

As for TT I agree with the sentiment. It is a sad loss for us and who can blame him when Wigan come knocking. TT is yet another gem Wakey have introduced to the SL. Best of luck TT, it has been great watching you.

They could always loan him back to us next year

Aye, as Farrell got off for his 'reckless' head high tackle!

He said the same to me last night,I said that if I won the lotto I would pay him to stay here,his reply of.....It wouldn't take much.......made me think how much he must have enjoyed his time here in the Red,White and blue.Good luck TT,if it was your last game at Cas

the one good thing that might come out of any ban is Jordan might get a start on Sunday

Banned for 1 game £300 fine

Good to know RFL treat each club equally.

Massive shame the ban means we won't see him playing for us again



Has been fantastic for us since coming back from injury, and for me has been another major factor in our improved form in the 2nd half of the season.....runs extremely hard, takes a hell of a lot of putting down and gets up very quick for a big lad and gets very quick play the balls....a top, top player.....his attitude since signing for Wigan has been first class, 100% effort and commitment every week, could have gone through the motions and just collected his money but he's been different class....

Will be a brilliant signing for Wigan.....as mentioned earlier, another gem unearthed by us!

All the best TT.....hope you still get a great send off....

Yep a real shame we can't give him the send off he much deserves.

From the first game he played for us, even though he'd just fallen off a plane from the other side of the world, you could tell he had that X factor and was going to be an awesome signing for us.

Gutted we haven't been able to keep him longer though.

Great player for Wakefield. All the best TT at Wigan!

I hope he does a Tim Smith

A previous Wigan chairman could have supplied suitable paperwork that would enable Taulima to turn out for Wigan

It's clearly a witch hunt; let's all hold up banners for him at the next game.

Always happy to heap praise on a Wakey player just before he goes elsewhere but seriously if there'd been a sofa handy on Sunday I'd have hid behind it every time he was near the ball...frightening in attack and defence.

So did TT get a one match ban and not have an EGP or did he just not use it? Or something else?

He didn't use it, must have thought he was innocent

Who's choice is this player or club. Seems Silly to me as we hardly have a bucket full of forwards left.
