Exactly. He was always going to go.
Time to find another one.

Re: Tanginoa : Tue Nov 07, 2023 7:10 pm  

Impressive when he arrived but for me he never really captured his early form and then struggled with injuries throughout his latter period , think something like 7 appearances this last season . One of our big earners I suspect and hasn’t been value for money for quite a while to be honest . Probably play 30 + a season at HKR like Johnstone

Quality player, shame to see him go but no surprise. Need to unearth the new Kelepi now.

Re: Tanginoa : Tue Nov 07, 2023 8:34 pm  

On his day very good but he hasn’t had many days like that for a couple of seasons.
We move on without him.

Re: Tanginoa : Tue Nov 07, 2023 9:21 pm  

He goes with the same wishes from me as all others who've gone across to East Hull.

Re: Tanginoa : Wed Nov 08, 2023 5:53 am  

Good luck to him but was underwhelming really, too hit and miss and was erratic in defence in his few appearances last season, to put it mildly. Not value for money.

I must admit to being sentimental for Kelepi but at the high level he has cost us a fortune the last few years for being sat on the treatment table. True he can't help breaking his arm but the hamstring, the knee, the shoulder it's just too much. Yes he might play 30 games next year for HKR but that's their problem now. I think in the same vein Miller must be left alone we are rebuilding - Kelepi wouldn't have been cheap either...onwards and upwards.

It’s not so much Kalepi but we haven’t replaced some of our best or highest earners from next last season yet.

I appreciate some reduction in the depth numbers but we require a few quality signings yet.

Fifita
Whitbread
Tanginoa
Battye - Cozza
Crowther
Eseh
Lineham - Walmsley
Langi
Lyne - Thornley
Kershaw
Lewis
Smith
Windrow - Boothroyd.
Bowes - Doyle.
Law
Roberts

McGillvary for Kershaw (If the latter is leaving)
Franco signed on a permanent deal
Shaw and Croft new deals.
The corner flag for Proctor.

Forgot McGillvray so thank you.

Franco was part of last season anyway for a few month. He likely replaced Taufua.
Shaw and Croft similar they don’t actually replace anyone, if so they replaced Butler and Gaskell.

The fact remains there’s some big holes to fill with some quality.
