Given the injuries he has suffered, since came here, both serious ligament injuries to both ankle and knee, it is hardly surprising that he has lost a yard of pace.

I don't know if anyone on here has suffered ligament injuries. I, in the past have also suffered knee and ankle ligament injuries. Some say they can be as bad as a break. It took my a long time to regain full mobility around the ankle joint, following my ankle injury last year.

Wasn't it a knee ligament injury that sidelined TJ last year, and some thought that when he came back he had lost a bit of his sharpness.

I was under the impression ligament damage was worse than a break since it takes longer to heal. When I damaged my ankle in my 20s playing football it was more than a year before I could play again and that was only Sunday league.

Sort Trinity18... Tyke will never catch on. You might as well call him a Cornish Pasty or a Hot pot.

It's very unlikely it will catch on

Dell or rands would work though

All down to preference isn't it or maybe down to what he prefers!

He might just like "Tyler".

Happy for you lot to call him whatever

Please do...

Mitch Rein. Wouldn’t get a visa
Jayden nikorima. Wouldn’t get a visa
Kurt Baptiste. Cleared off homesick after 1 game??

All clearly better options.

If that's the case 2 thoughts occur:
why not publicise & explain these things - supporters appreciate being kept in the loop and it kills off rumours
why settle for 2nd best

Why should he have to? Why do you expect him to come out in public to say why someone isn’t signing for Wakey??? Seems bizarre to me. Just support who he does bring in. MC has quite a good record of astute signings.

Because Cameron Smith wasn't coming, you need MC to explain why?

Just judge him on who comes.
Randy has been fine for me. Had a couple of injuries but he's doing a good job for us imo.

Er ok, we are in for every player in the world from down under. 98% won’t come because they are higher paid over there. 1.5% can’t come because they won’t get a visa. Leaves 0.5% between 12 super league clubs and a couple of championship clubs and out of those 14 clubs we are probably somewhere between 12th and 14th highest payers.

I reckon that covers it.
Mitch Rein and Nikorima have never even been offered over here. How the hell do I comment on something that’s never happened?

It’s not my fault you believe rumours, social media, and the tooth fairy is it?

Don't be ridiculous DC. The tooth fairy is clearly real.
Everyone knows that. That's just one rumour too far.

Let’s see if anyone ‘in the know’ gets this afternoons announcement right??

Oooh that's intriguing!!? I'll put it on the rumour thread

I'll start it off:

You've been chosen for the Winter Olympics for the 50m snow shovelling dash, Bathy just missed out in the squad.

Is this announcement a Trinity announcement or SL one?

Well here goes, finally signed up legally to go ahead with redevelopment of Stadium.

I bet it isn't.

So wish it was. Perhaps tooth fairy is involved with finally sorting it out.

Michael Sio was a better player than Tyler Randell we’d have been better off keeping him instead.

Sio and Randell are almost identicle in size & weight while both played Hooker/LF, IMO Sio was far better quality in both but especially 13

Is this some kind of joke? Sio was nowhere near Randell.

Thought Randell had a good game yesterday. Maybe he was reading this forum as he seemed to do a lot more scoots than before.

Randell scouted from dummy half twice within the first 3 sets, I don't know what he ended on but had a decent game.

Thought the same myself. Just shows he is a better player when he backs himself a bit more. We certainly saw his skills when he first arrived but for some reason he decided to keep them in the locker till yesterday. Well done and more please for next Friday night.

DC if you can assist here: Assuming no visa may be 1st grade game percentage reasons, any idea how Joey Lusick qualifies? 1 game in 2 seasons, the regulations for overseas players are very hard to track down, just seems to be half remembered hearsay
I am not suggesting him as an option by the way
