Definitely sign Tongia, although to say that he was supposed to be a full back on a six game trial, its strange that he didnt have any game time in this position.
Fully agree about his unpredictability, something we desperately need after this season.

He is playing out of his skin most of the game. Sign Tongia now before some one else does. I agree we need to have youth in our team but we also need experience and hard learned skill.

Trout and Cowling are both in the first team for next season!

Tongia is the type of overseas signing we want with potential and young at 21. Sign him up.

Tongia was fantastic on Friday. Even though the try was chalked off for a forward pass from Griffin, the skill he showed to finish it was world class. The Bradford players hadn't stopped playing and he beat 2 of them with a wickid side step.

He's also got a cracking short kicking game.

You all keep going on about Smurph, from what I was told he will be in a Shudds shirt next year. Signed a month or so ago. Can anyone shed any light?

Talked to Murph, he said he staying put

That rumour has been going round since admin. he would have gone with fergie if it were true.

For heavens sake how many more time. He is contracted for another year so he can't have signed for Hudds. The only other way he can join Hudds is if they make an offer for him or he requests a release from his contract which seems unlikely. That's not to say he couldn't end up there but the choice is not for him to make.

That is how I understand it.

Agree with this if was going think would have been sorted especially since he's been injured for a few weeks and knowing that he probably wasn't going to take part again this season. He would have probably told people this at the last game of the season. Back on topic i would be shoving a contract under Tongia's nose before anyone else starts sniffing. His asking price could keep going up unless they have something already written in his trial contract.?

That's what Glover said on Friday.

according to someone who knows his dad he was as trouts dad is his agent .

as this been confirmed , not doubting sir just collating my little black statto book.

Check out the official site its on there!

thank you

I'd be surprised if Tongia signs a new contract with us. Didn't get that impression on Friday.

How so?

He looked to be enjoying himself during the game and hung around for a good while afterwards signing things and posing for pictures etc.

Did you speak to him?

We shouldnt offer silly money but a decent contract for Tongia even for 1 year to put himself in the window. If he enjoys it he could stay.

I hope he puts pen to paper and follows up lauititi next year

after watching the young uns game at the weekend and seeing what could be a career ending injury how silly is silly money, how league is compared to union in wages makes you understand why they switch for more money

if the general public got off the arris to come watch the game it would vastly improve

The only way the public will pay to watch in large numbers is if there is a worthy product. In trying to expand the game, the RFL have brought the game to its knees for their core customers in the heartlands. A sweeping statement blaming the fans is not the answer, but finding out why people are not watching will go some way towards helping if acted upon.

We'll let him go and sign Cockayne, its a sure fire winner to sell more season tickets.

Smurph stated more than once last Fri he was DEFINITELY staying.

That would be a major disappointment.



I concur.

Good to see the two young ones given a contract, we should offer Tongia a one as well. I know he looks a bit risky but he can come up with some tricks and pace as well, he'll keep opposition defences on their toes.

A purely subjective opinion. Don't read anything into it.
