Being reported that Kelepi Tanginoa from Manly is joining Trinity with immediate effect. If true I’m guessing Arona’s injury is bad enough to end his time at Wakefield and he wants to do his recovery back home. Kelepi Tanginoa, played around 35 NRL matches Stands 6’0” and weighs in at around 16st 7lbs Bit of a gamble but so was Arona and he’s been great for Wakefield https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/the-mole-m ... 25e181fa38

Hope there's an opportunity to give Arona the send off he deserves ifs true.

How do you know it's Aroma ? Pauli may return to find an early release whether Salford want him or not !

I don’t which is why I said

If there is an incoming overseas player i hope its not to the expense of losing arona for good he deserves to here next year injury permitting.with regards quota spots msybe arona can be de registered for rest of season or what the rule regarding miller and how long he been in england now.as regards overseas players going theres 1 that in my opinion is pinching a wage and should be let go but thats my opinion and im not chezzy

Randell?

Yes dont want to slate players its not right and while in s trinity shirt will slways support just dont feel he good enough and plays enough

Arona can't be deregistered I don't think but if it's a career ending injury he can obviously retire, which would be awful. If Tanginoa's coming over now I can't think of how else we can work it. You can't just get rid of overseas players unless someones going to take them off you. We've got Pauli over at Salford for a month but we've got an overseas in Sau in return for the moment. From how CC was speaking I think he genuinely wants to see Pauli succeed and says that he could be the most devastating back-rower in SL if he puts his mind to it. So he must be willing to see what Pauli can do while over there and even if he doesn't do great and comes back, he's still on our quota.

Tanginoa's one of those players that had huge wraps as a Junior, playing for the Jr Kangaroos and was going to be the next big thing at the Eels but for all his huge potential his career hasn't taken off down in the NRL like everyone thought it should through a few injuries, better players in front of him and form. Funnily in a not funny way, he had a a suspected similar injury to Arona's last season wqhen he was playing well before it coming off the bench for Manly, his ACL/MCL was thought to have gone but it proved not as serious as thought after he'd been in a boot for a few weeks and he hadn't ruptured his ACL.

He also came through at the Eels at the same time as Pauli Pauli and both were considered next big things at the time. Funny they night end up playing for the same team.

As a player, he's quick for a big guy, breaks tackles & makes big meters in the back row. He could cause some real damage running wide in SL and the style of play over here could definitely suit him and he's still only 25.

Also I don't agree about Randell, you can maybe knock him for being injured but when he's on the field I like what he brings and complements Wood nicely. he's very good defensively, quick and has a decent pass to fist receiver. Hopefully he can keep on the field till the end of the season.

Everybody entitled to opinions mate..

Never said otherwise mate, just don't agree with it that's all .Out of interest why exactly do you think he's not good enough?

Think he misses too many games yes injuies happen but he prob on decent wage plus quota spot ..dont think he quick enough from the half passing not sharp (look at pass in draw at headingley last season) look how much better we are with wood out there i think wood is way better in attack anx levell on defence.our record with tyler playing isnt great.iam not slating tyler i have no doubt he fully committed but the original point was about tini leaving for this potential new player and id rather have tini anyday of week

I don't know how you can say that, it's not as though he wants to get injured.

Disagree regarding Randell, but everyone has a right to opinion and sees things differently.

It did say when he was originally sidelined that the injury had been effecting him during the 2018, and was managing it on a week to week basis. Could this be the reason as to why he hasn't quite looked the same since his few games at the end of 2017.

Certainly has a good brain and in addition to what Shifty put, has a good kicking game

I haven't said that have I, I replied to the poster who didn't rate Randell that 'YOU' can knock him for injuries - which he did in the post above yours. I'm not knocking him, in fact the opposite. As I stated, I like him and have said the reasons why.

he couldn't make manlys starting team last year when they were coming near last - its pauli pauli re visited but he isn't as good as pauli - that's saying something but we have to sign someone and he is has played a bit of NRL

Yeah whatever the oracle down under you said similar about big Dave

Lol. I'd forgotten that.
This guy must be awesome then.

Wow, we must have been on with this a while if he is coming now & therefore must have a visa ? Looking forward to seeing him play and when he is fully fit !
Sorry to loose Horo, I have enjoyed his commitment, especially calming our players down when ref's decisions went against us ! Good luck Justin and. -- Up the Trin !

my opinion on David hasn't changed - come back and talk to me when we make a cc final or league semis and he has a big game then he is our highest paid player he should be getting the accolades

except I will say he has played better this year

You're so unintentionally out of touch with reality or just intentionally trolling. I would suspect the latter.

You come back to us when you’ve actually watched Trinity play!

Tanginoa is certainly here, just seen him in a Car with Chris Chester on the way to training.

Presume he will be available for the weekend because with Pauli and Horo gone it leaves us a bit short in the back row.

Then you're an idiot; he is widely recognised as one of the best players in SL - and rightly so; a forward with size, strength, a decent turn of speed and enough screws loose to try some crazy stuff, that actually works more often than it doesn't.

What more do you want from the guy?!

Horo's gone, didn't see that coming, thought he'd played better in recent games, my god RL can be brutal.

Welcome Tanginoa and good luck.
