Up the Trin

A big mistake if it was to happen hes unfit and would prob mess about with his brother

No this would give the club the lift it requires.
He may be a bit off his game at the moment but when on form he's one of the best.

Can see what your getting at but feel hes past his best and he could be here for laugh with his brother.....although if the opposite happened spose could get david back to his best

Create a lot of interest if true , certainly struggled last 12 months with weight, knee troubles etc but ....

The chronic knee issue he has got would be my concern.

2 or 3 years past his best unfortunately

If true what we got to lose ,no big Dave as been criticised for is performance yesterday to me only Westerman was in front of him and still took some knocking down We are short of go forward in the pack think it's worth a gamble At present the only place we looked to be going is championship .Get Battyi in the team .and we have some weight in the pack

Is there any point whilst Chester is still in charge?

Even though the sharks are going to pay the lions share of his wage this move has got car crash written all over it......... awaits being crucified

Even broken he's better than most in SL and certainly better than what we have
...... But I'd rather get a world class Hooker if we are suddenly in the money.

Not sure how it can make things worse though.
We need go forward and he has it.

Why did David say anything until it was a done deal?

and then who told the press?

Didn’t the pair of them get into plenty of bother when they were last together, I’ll say it again, this will come back to bite us in the arris

still got fond memories of his great performance in the game against Great Britain when they were robbed. Looking forward to seeing him live

Don't know who who of us are kidding... If this is true its one hell of a coup for a club like Wakefield, yes the blokes form has dropped over the last year but on his day he is one of the best props in the NRL. I imagine any team in SL would have him.

Signings like this with great expectations we have a bad track record with but something tells me the fact that his brother is at the club it could work out very well for the club.

I agree. Think we are all being a bit choosy. He's a proven world beater who stumbled and wants a way back.

while I can understand your concerns could you imagine the pair actually bouncing off each other in the game they would be awesome, write into his contract that it can be terminated if he does a timmy smith

gamble worth taking as we are so light in the pack

Thinking back this could have been on the cards for a while! If you cast your mind back a couple of months they were motivating each other to lose the excess weight they were carrying, Never heard of doing that the past few seasons so was there a reason behind it? Makes you wonder.

I look forward to seeing him in Crofton Chippy.

It makes you wonder just what some supporter's want.
We need a prop and to get one with AF credentials would be an absolute top notch.
Could be a marketing dream

With the recent history with knee and general fitness could be a huge gamble.

If we can get him fit, could be just what we need, failure to do that, we could end up with another Pauli Pauli.

Clogger, over to you

Ifs it's true it's gonna create a lot of positive interest for the club , a top prop just what we need to lift the current gloom bring it on.

Injuries are part and parcel for any player coming from the NRL. The SL is actually less strenuous on a player and it could be just what he needs. He would be an excellent signing and definitely one of the pieces we need. It is pointless wasting a quota spot on a player who is not considered for the first team. I thought I read we had signed him to a one year deal in June which would suggest any settlement would not be that costly.
