It would certainly be the biggest signing since Solomona and would likely eclipse that signing.
We could certainly do with some good news !

Absolutely, if he has half as much of an impact as what Solo did I think we'd all be well happy! I think if someone had asked me if we could have had Inglis or Fifita I would have certainly chosen Fifita, but I suppose we should all just calm down a bit......

You shouldn't be so sensitive to alternate opinions. It was mostly tongue in cheek but part of me fears it could well turn out to be one of those kinds of signings. The guys career has fallen apart in the last 12 months as well as his well-documented knee problems he's also been battling mental health and weight problems. Super League has a long list of big name 30 year old+ signings that just don't live up to the hype they just don't have the hunger for it. If what johnh says is right about him been offered up to all SL clubs and tuned away, well its a bit of a worry.

Positively I can see a big upside, both brothers together having that positive effect on each and sibling rivalry to spur them on. If he overcomes his problems and puts some big performances in it will be great for bums on seats and the club's profile. Lets just hope we have a big of luck with this one, gods knows were overdue.

he would have to go some to get anywhere near even reaching what Solomona did for us, never mind eclipsing it!!

That said and as I said above I think it'd be a positive step, even tho we need cover in other positions more urgently as our attacking record of 34 puts in 3 games and only 1 try in each of last 2 games shows

Now I know you were joking in your comparison to hickey I will sleep easier

Thank you for the essay though

Simply saying the comparison was a joke was quite enough

Lol I read it and thought you can’t be serious !

Yes he defo did play and he played well

He lost 20 kilos in the off season

That’s an incredible amount of weight to lose

No. Wally was the best in the world at the absolute top of his game.

You couldn't help but feel privileged to watch Wally, I can just about remember every game like it was yesterday.
If A F can come anywhere near his displays we will be in for a treat.

Some people are still waiting for Chase Stanley after that was reported as being a done deal!! Maybe the Club don’t announce anything because there is nothing to announce?

Carter has rubbished it.......

wally Lewis was the greatest player I’ve ever seen, can you remember the first match at home when his brother played aswell and Peter Stirling played for Hull, what a day and il never forget his last game at thrum hall when he’s was carried off on the supporters shoulders. On another point can you remember that psycho who came with him Lindsay gill

Yes, I think we’ve both seen the same program on YouTube tonight. The commentator said he had spoken with MC about this story, nad he knows nothing of any talks between Trinity and AF.
Let’s put this to bed now, we all got a bit excited for a day. Return to reality now.

I can remember, Didn't Wally bring Linsey Gill over.
That Hull match at home was full of guts and fire and the Halifax game was brilliant.
Fosters cans popping all over the place.

I always thought Gill was brought in by Wally because he was getting hit late every game but when he came over for 'An Audience With' he said he just turned up with no one knowing who he was.

I’m not sure this is correct but there was a story that he turned up at cas to play Boxing Day hammered. He apparently had been on the lash at the pub on the hill at Stanley the British oak. We lost that aswell in front of a big crowd

Thats it and atnleastbit raised some peiple spirits and gave cc a day rest..

Now we are being serious again let’s hope Battye is fit and as good as last year. That alone will e a huge step up from any of our current pack.

Just saying.

Remember that Hull game well. Oh for another Wally Lewis. Those passes of his from the centre of the field to the wing were never surpassed.
So the AF story was just a fairy tale then. Who the heck starts these stories. Seemed a bit improbable when I saw that AF is on $400,000. MC would have to sell another bus company to afford that.

Who reputedly turned up hammered, Mopsey, Lewis or Gill?? A bit of an animal was Linsey Gill.

He's done that before.....

He stayed at the pub as lodgings. It was Brian Brigg's pub.
He wasn't hammered whenever I went in and certainly wasn't at the game.

I do remember Knocker Norton turning up drunk to play Cas. He had a blinder.

Where's the fun in that? We could have been wondering about this for weeks.

And if he had any sense he'd keep it going as it took the focus off the performance on the field for a while.

File this one next to Ruben Wiki then....

Think that one gathered enough pace that someone asked him when he was joining Wakefield.... he laughed.
