Don't know why the club seem to be hanging about with Ligi, I'd have got his signature on a new deal a while ago as he was one of the few that actually came out this past season with any credit. The only problem with him was the stupid minutes we had him play which led to him making a few more errors and giving away more penalties. Him and Satae are a very good pairing and think Satae's form was partially down to that.

Sao on holiday in Greece, so doesn't appear to be worried about his Rugby at the moment

Hopefully he’s signed Chris, and the club just haven’t released it officially yet, I quite liked the original plan “ or did I imagine it” with Ligi working at 13, giving him a little more room than smashing it down the middle as a prop, of course we need Tag and the new proposed prop to let this happen.

Of course Ligi has been a solid partner for Big Chris, and as you say, we overplayed him, just think he’s got a little more running threat to his game than he’s had the chance to express, he’s good, but just my opinion, he could be better.

Wonder if we should be looking at someone like Tyler Dupree to add some depth - looks a good prop, with plenty of size.

From what I've heard Rider he's still waiting an offer from the club which if true for is crazy. Like you I seem to remember the original plan when the club signed Ligi was for him to play mainly 13, which I think would certainly improve our game.

Signed for Widnes I think, looks like that's his level, a bit like Lewis Bienek, proves players need more than just size.

If this were true, a host of clubs would be knocking at his door, don’t you think. Plus I’m sure his agent would have touted him out there.

Dunno Armavinit, Wilf touched on it in an earlier post, it seems Ligi didn’t want to go anywhere else, but hopefully it’s just the delay in a positive announcement, causing the conjecture.

If you peruse a lot of the forums, Ligi is on a few wanted lists, only fan’s opinions granted, but that’s all we have as fans.

Just read an hypothetical article, saying that if the previous format for MW is used, looks like the Derby will be back? Plus loop fixtures and play offs we could end up playing the Dobbins at least 4 times or more!!!! The a great Unwashed will be clapping their hands in anticipation at finishing 8 points above us.
