Club probably wanted to wait until after the Warriors game tonight, they did the same with Matulino.

Haven't you seen the heat here over Tedesco/Moses/Woods/anyone leaving.
If the board/club is doing something right it is this. Till you play your last game for your current club OR sign a contract to pen and agree to announce NO announcement. Focus on the football while playing football, focus on the Warriors/Dogs/whatever till you have played your last game. Yea, it means us fans/bloggers/whatever have to sweat it but the players play at their best and the football games are about football.
Overall this is a good signing for us. We need a kicker (ok 66% isn't great, but we can work on it) and someone who is cheapish but can be fullback.

Interesting they're saying that we're after Hopoate too, would be a handy centre if we pick him up, then all we'd need is another prop and we'd be about set for our top 17.
Excited to have Tui on board though, here's hoping we get the best out of him.

So what if he's only a 66% kicker. That's no worse than Moses or Rankin. I'm sure he'll be a lot better than those two so it's a win in my book

Agree with you there. Gordon on a 1 year deal would be good for us. He's a very decent fullback and can kick goals. He'd be great for us until a more long term solution at fullback can be sorted. Or, if Lolo plays fullback we put Gordon on the wing

Gordon has stated that, if he goes around in the NRL again, it will only be with the Roosters.

How come our last two coaches have been accomplished goal kickers in their own right, yet our kickers don't appear to have improved?
@ said:
Ridiculous….
A journey man must journey... :wink:
Penrith, Eels, Sharks, Roosters.....
Another club wont hurt.
@ said:
Is that similar to Benji stating he'll never play against the Wests Tigers..?

Can't believe how many people are unfamilar with him. Before this year he had been a regular in the Warriors side for the previous 2 or 3 years racking up over 50 games.

Yeah people doubt Lolohea just because he plays in the Intrust Super Cup and got dumped by the Warriors. In his first year at the NRL, he was a regular starter playing at fullback, five-eighth, centre and wing. At the age of 22, he has played over 50 NRL games and he was considered as the long term Warriors five-eighth next to Shaun Johnson. He has just been down on form but at a new club with a permanent starting role, he can become the player he was destined to be.

And i wouldn't judge him because he's in ISP either. People forget we picked up ET from ISP too, now people are calling for him to be captain. When you're stuck in ISP its not a surprise that your confidence suffers, hence his poor game for Tonga. He really is a better player than that. He'll be a very good signing imo.
