Esi tonga sounds like a capable player from that, a little inexperienced for what we need but as has been mentioned, allowed to talk to other clubs, seeking to rebuild his career and the para link, it seems to add up, do you think he could be capable of filling our centre spot?



Masoe is an exciting payer to watch, very raw skill wise, but naturally strong and always provides impact, something our forwards lack, we have consistent, clever forwards (compared to others) would be a nice fresh addition if so.

At the end of the day we need bodies for the backline positions.



IF this kid is available and IF he's interested I can't see anything wrong with having him come over.



I'd love an aggressive Samoan in the . So little bit of aggression is exactly what our talented but wet back line.

jamie foster to bradford surprising - expected hull to want him and maybe even not to have been finished at saints yet?

A one year deal for Foster as well. I expect him to have a big season, score 20 trys and kick goals for fun and move over to Union in 12 months.



He'd be a superstar in that sport and could earn a fortune. It says a lot for Union that an average superleague player could do that simply because he kicks goals. Some cracking league players go over and struggle(Faz, Eastmond, Tomkins) a touch because they see no ball but that would be a positive for Foster.



He could concentrate on booting goals and styling his hair...they'd love him.

This Esi Tonga sounds like the exact opposite of a centre which we need, we need someone with experience who can just slot in for a couple of years until Thornley/Gelling can take over. Our problem in that position isnt having back up, its experience. We have Goulding, Thornley, Gelling, Hughes, Farrell & Academy lads who can cover centre if needs be, but Goulding aside they have literally a hand full of experience at centre in super league put together. Signing another troubled ill disciplined risky signing isnt what we need. I'd give him my full backing if we do sign him but I think we should be looking at someone with experience coming towards the end of their career. We have a very young team and we have alreayd lost tons of experience this year.

Finding a centre that fits that bill would be difficult though. His brother could possibly be an option but good quality, experienced centres are hard to come by.



As much as Gelling, Thornley and Hughes are all inexperienced I think the advantage is we have three of them fighting for one position and that could cancel out that factor. They will hopefully all drive each other on because i'd say at the moment there isn't a clear cert for the position.

Not that surprising, he was their best player when they beat Saints last year...

Signed for the Sea Eagles for next season

?? His brother has. Has he as well?

Esi Tonga has signed for Manly, no mention of Willie. I think it's obvious we'd be linked with him due to Hock going and talk of George signing with NZ warriors.



I think Gelling has the potential to be world class, he just needs a run in the team and some fine tuning, he was never going to replace George last year. From what I saw of him he's an awkward player to stop and doesn't mind grafting for the team.

greg eden to hull kr from hudds another one thats surprising - wasnt he touted as the next big thing earlier this year?
