TBH I don't have a problem with taking the mick out of Tui WRT his weight. I don't agree with body-shaming in the real world (possibly because I'm a 'few' kilos overweight nyself nowadays), but it shouldn't be possible to make fun of a full time pro athlete in that way.

He is way out of shape for a professional athlete and seems to have no appetite for work, the sooner we are rid the better. If Golding cannot get in in front of an overweight workshy waste of space then he needs to more on for his own sake / sanity.

Lolohea is awful and was poor Friday bar the try. How he's been here nearly 8 months and is still out of shape I've no idea. Have a feeling he'll do an Achurch though, in that he'll not be moved on quickly but will hang around for a few years before then leaving the professional game, who's going to want him.

Even if the flab wasn't an issue, there are major problems with his game. Interception on Friday notwithstanding, if I'd had to pick a weak link likely to undo all the good work it would have been him.

're, Lolohea, over the years we've had a few duds, the cap dictates that, but when we bring them 12000 miles to play a pivitol posistion I am always inclined to think there has got to be something in there.......the only thing in Lolohea has come via a deliveroo moped.

We all see not very much good about Tui yet he makes team after team 17 after 17 WHY?????????

Whilst I do agree with what Furner’s young un said, it’s still not a great thing so say to the fans is it?

My point is, I can see why they might not be well liked within the club.

He clearly hasn’t fully recovered from his serious ACL injury, but put in a great performance against Wakefield playing out of position. 53 tackles and 0 errors in shocking weather. Even if his speed doesn’t come back for him to return to centre, he will become a top back rower. Whoever signs him will likely be on much reduced terms compared to his Leeds deal and will pick up a bargain IMO. http://www.totalrl.com/premium-suitors- ... gby-union/

I reckon he could pick up as much playing there as he does playing for Leeds. WRT to Lolohea he makes Sutcliffe look like Usain Bolt with the pace he runs at. Can`t get his body off the ground to jump for the high ball and cannot tackle and his positioning in defence is non existent. Other than that he seems a nice bloke!

According to the League Weekly, Leeds and Wakefield are after Joe Westerman from Dull FC. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/pa ... igan-back/
