So with Smith looking like he has signed whats happening with Isaac John? Or as he now took a back seat and Obst is coming? Surely all 3 cannot be coming. If so why have we signed Wood doesn't make much sense! Especially with Moore waiting in the wings. Also any news on Tongia?

both waiting on Visa's........could be a long wait though thats why no official announcements

Isaac!

Be happy with smith and John and I'd say obst is surplus, especially with Ellis, Davey, Wildie all able to stake a claim at hooker.

Believe he has resigned for the Warriors in 2012 ...

He was already signed for the warriors in 2012. He's been granted a release.

Just waiting for his visa, hold up being the amount of first grade nrl games played, but he is pretty confident he will get it

Try digging a little deeper, he has signed an extension mid 2011 at warriors. We registered interest after and he will more than likely be released. They have a wealth of good halfs.

Keeps popping up on Facebook trin page and I keep saying same think (above) next day someone else posts same. I post same.

Visa submitted wait and see.

Hope your right guys - look pretty strong with a new 6 n 7 but without where looking weak in that department ...

Think we just lack that extra prop but if needs be Paul Johnson can be modelled into that position. Performed well there 2011 and can be conditioned more to the role before 2012.

He strikes me as a similar build to James Graham.

I'd heard somwhere that the visa issues were sorted - thanks to the RFL stepping in.

Isaac John playing his cards close to his chest. Giving nowt away on twitter

Would you?

Think it was a case of the RFL are now supporting the application whereas previously they wouldn't and thus had no chance. Its still in the hands of the Border Agency.

It's sorted 

What a refreshing change.

Announced tomorrow apparently

I'm guessing this is the exciting news then.

I guess so. Not excited?

Not when we already know what it is

Is that a dig? My advice - stay away from forums discussing players and their possible arrival

Not overly, I've never seen him play so I don't know what to expect. If Darren Lockyer was set to be unveiled then that would be a different matter.

dont understand all the hype, seen as he's hardly any nrl games under his belt and few people know much about him. If he was english no doubt we'd all be questioning the signing.

Lets hope John & Smith make a great pairing and with Smith on a 1 year deal, hopefully we'll have one of the young lads up to speed for the following season.

Have you seen whats infront of him at Nz warriors? Anything is a improvement on Hyde he would be playing for a park team over there not NZ warriors.
