Can never have too many props and Tom is the juggernaut high impact type that may come in handy as injuries inevitably hit the engine room. if he fills a bigger role than that, even better.

Im not against this signing, you need some cheap depth, you cant have 30 marquees and it may put pressure on Tom Mikaele, but another prop doesnt make sense to me.
What's the point in upgrading a junior into the 30 if they aren't a chance of making first grade? Keep them in Flegg, keep developing them and also add in a depth forward who has a real shot of making first grade
Upgrade a junior and you just have the junior. Sign Amone and you have the junior and Amone which strengthens the squad more... seems pretty simple to me.
If a junior was killing it enough to the point they deserved a spot in the 30 it would've either happened by now, or it'll happen down the track after they've played some footy and we haven't been able to sign anyone. Still two spots open in the 30

One year.
Cheap depth, which is always needed. Beast in state cup. Welcome Tom.

As I mentioned to Willow ...I didn't recognize him at 1st ...I thought he may have been Tuilagi ......both Stefano and Mikaele impressed ...but again ...they didn't have much in front of them ...more answers after Rd 1 I guess

welcome Tom! fingers crossed on a quick recovery followed by shedding some kilos before making a beeline for the bench at some point this year. good forward, will provide depth and can bend the line.

If Amone rehabs well and is fit then he'd grab a bench spot Fo Sho by the end of season. Good ball playing skills as well.
Instant upgrade over Packer and Mikaele. And he and Stefano would be quite the sight coming off the bench...

You could be right. Anyone left questioning if this team is stronger than previous years need only consider that at this stage, Packer, Mikaele, Garner, MCK probably dont make the 17 let alone Seyfarth.
For all the angst at him being let go, Im not sure Sam McIntyre would have made it tbh.

TukiMonster takes care of any Sam Mac issue.
Plus Sam is struggling to make the Titans bench now. And I doubt he'd feature on ours at full or near full strength...

I was at the game yesterday, that traitor Aloiai looked so much smaller than our forwards....enjoy playing finals footy JA with Blacktown workers, also wonder what Tapau thinks of the WT forwards now...
