hows the Fui Fui Moi Moi deal he said was nailed on coming along......??


rumor mongers and Psychics cant believe a word they say....

Didn't hear him say it was nailed on, only that he was talking to a few clubs including us.

He's neither a rumour monger or a psychic either, I don't think some people realise how connected he is. His ESL scoops are some times wrong as he is based in Oz and doesn't really pay much attention to us.

I had heard we spoke to another oz Fijian. It looked at the time that Big Roy was ship ahoy back to the NRL.
I think that he maybe honouring his contract, but there is an event over in oz in Oct that is open to all ex NRL players to earn a contract on impress for 2015 which has taken his interest I believe.
Question marks on this but it looks so far Big Roy stays and Foi Foi continues talks with Wakefield.

In Simms we have a forward with that mongrel in him that we have been lacking. Unless he does an Asotasi the pack should be more consistent and I think the half backs we have got will be seen in a different light next year playing behind them.

Moi Moi is nailed on. One year deal.

Is this televised?

I would be well up for this instead of the X factor.

"Roy it's a no from me, sorry sweetheart I just don't think you're good enough any more"
"aaa come on, d'ya not think he's got potential? Roy I think the public are gonna love ye, I'm gonna take a chance on ye, it's a big yes from me"

Our Chairman Michael Carter has said we was in for him, but nothing has came of it. Hull FC and you guys are rumours..?

I really don't see Widdop coming and Cronk has only recently got his jersey in the national team, I can't see him being willing to give it up just yet.
But out of the 2 Cronk looks the least unlikely.

I haven't heard ewt about a hb other than the club reassessing a GOB to Bradford u'turn but about fuifui moimoi I've heard something. It was that he was heading for a deal with Wakefield but we have come in for talks about 2/3 weeks ago too. Salford enq a few weeks back but ruled out after the marquee bid rejection.

Re: Signing a halfback : Mon Sep 08, 2014 11:30 am  

Widdop is killing it now that he is the main play maker at the dragons, can't see him leaving yet. I think he got voted the signing of the season by NRL fans or something like that.
Daly cherry evans will get Cronks maroon and Aussie shirt this year or next so there is a possibility of signing him if he's looking for a new challenge. Cronk is probably the best kicker in the game. IF that happens then WOW!

Oz fijian aye? Is it Petero Civoniceva.?
Wes Naiqama?

Re: Signing a halfback : Mon Sep 08, 2014 12:43 pm  

We've apparently been talking to Anthony Tupou I've been told. Bit out of left field, and a name I hadn't heard linked before. Seems we're linked with anyone these days though.
