In fairness, I did say 'has the potential to be' and used the 'esque' bit to clearly imply that he was far from the finished product.

I also don't recall saying he was 'the Messiah.'

For me, a good off-season and some harsh lessons in carrying the ball properly could see him a lot further down the track by the start of next season; he certainly appears to have the raw materials to become a very entertaining footballer.

I understand.....wasn't aimed directly at you Bren, just a general statement.

I am mental because i said tongia will be a class act with a bit of work? Thats true. Agar if he signs phelps who we dont need it will be because he knows him well from hull. Yeah truely mental get lost you angry little man .... And for the guy who compared tongia to Paul White are you serious? White was just fast tongia can tackle good passer , quick etc. We need players with class and not just grafters tongia lightened up the mood the last few games last year. If we dont give him longer i will be annoyed . Tongia is aplayer that will make mistakes as he is a exciting talent so be it ive had enough of watching hendo,blaymire who just put the ball up their jumpers.

It would make a nice change to have an attacking full back with a bit of flair. Having defensive ones hasn't really helped us much over the last few years has it?

Totally agree but i wouldnt call blaymire defensive as he couldnt tackle.

His carry is the main concern for me, but this can be coached, no problem.
I thought on the couple of occasions i saw him, his defense was fine. In the Bradford game, i thought he was keen and certainly went looking for work. He looked like he enjoyed the physical side of things and his try scoring ratio cant be faulted. All in all his age been taken into consideration, i would like to see him here next year, but as ive stated previously, it would all depend on the quota system.
I dont know the ins and outs, how many we have, how many spaces left etc but if we can fit him in and still get the 1 maybe 2 halves we need, then brilliant.

New signing?

Re: The Five Signings : Mon Oct 10, 2011 11:54 am  

Ben Cockayne and /or Matt James.

With BC signed we probably just need one more back to replace Murphy. Would like it to be Tongia but wouldn't be surprised if Phelps turns up instead. A couple of props in Dowes & James finishes the pack and then its just the halfbacks to sort. Issac John plus one other? Think that would be a competitive squad.
