In the salary cap era, you cant have a squad full of superstars. if he has been signed as a squad filler on a cheap wage thats fair enough and Warrington shouldnt be laughed at for it. We have our squad fillers too but luckily for us they have come from the academy and are good enough for SL. If a team hasnt been lucky enough to produce their own then this is exactly the kind of signing need to bolster the squad

Exactly. We don't know what salaries these guys are on but it looks to me as though Lama Tasi is coming in as a replacement for either Crosby or G King. I'm not expecting him to be on a par with our starting props. I think that we are still missing one more front rower although I expect that Westwood will feature more in this role next season doing fewer minutes than this year.

you would assume that tasi is replacing crosby and luis johnson will be replacing george as the prop/13 cover, even though we've got clark and davies coming in to play 13. Or maybe johnson is being converted to a prop fulltime giving us

I'm not overwhelmed with this signing to be honest.

But AS108, with all your arrogance and trolling, you're gonna look like are right 'trotters independent traders' if you lose come Thursday.

Well see him again next season if we win tomorrow. However if they win he'll be all over this forum until next season.

Wonder if that quashes the Fifita rumour. I think it’s a poor signing and would have expected Warrington to sign better quality and someone a bit more disciplined on the field. Ah well at least the pies will be upset that Hastings has chosen Salford over them.

We've had g King and Crosby leave plus others that's two props out faffita not safe yet tho I cannot see him leaving wakey seems to be enjoying it there from when I've seen him playing.


I think we will have to wait and see how he fares next year, its an underwhelming signing based on this year's performances but f he starts the season fit with a preseason you never know. Could be a masterstroke.
