No thanks, would rather stick with Tongia.

Id even take phelps before him

Seems a bit of a hothead who comes from the Chris Smith School of not liking being tackled. No thanks.

Camel braced though.

no way jose

Really? You're a fan of any player of South Sea Island origin, purely on that basis?

Yeah pretty much obviously they are not all great it goes without saying but if you look at the islanders we've had in the wakey ranks over the years they put pretty much all of our aussie to shame

I really enjoy the style of play too, poaching and solomona are the first that sprint to mind

Why would we go for him when theres better, younger, players on the market like Phelps or Smith?

Or TONGIA....

Agreed !

Hope to god somebody sees sense and gets him signed up asap or someone else is going to benefit from what looks like a very exciting player



GET TONGIA SIGNED UP !!

Don't understand the Taulapaa rumour if we have an option to sign Tongia.

Yes Tongia as some flaws in his game (which can be corrected) but he is young and has the ability to ghost past players, and the potential to be a match winner, there are not many of this type of player around.

To me, if we have the chance to sign him we should or in time I think the club may well regret it.

We are trying to sign Tongia but the sticking point is getting him a visa granted.

The club are trying their best so just bear with them.

How did they get a visa for him to play the last six games?

Its the RFL who are being sticky with his visa application.

That's fair enough then

I'm sure Ken's keeping his eye on them already.

So what is the problem ???

Bet they are not sticky if it was wigan or warrington.

Yup, you could add Albert Talipeu and Alfi Songoro to that list too.

haha I knew some one would wheel Talipeu out, the best back slapper wakey have ever had!

Thanks goodness I covered myself by saying not all islanders!

Any one remember a centre by the name of Taitupu who played for us? he had to retire early due to injury

Do you mean Tony Tatupu? He was in his 30's when he retired, he had a decent playing career too, played at a high level for a long time.

Unfortunately not at Wakefield.

His last game at Belle Vue was for the NZ police about 2 years ago i think??

Good player in his time although neither us nor Warrington really saw much of it. One of those that looked far better over there. Bit like Clinton Toopi.

Or as Ray French would have it, Clinton Torpi!!!!

How exactly, it's nothing to do them
