Talutai looks a good buy. Will make an impact off the bench for us.

Just seen the last ten mins and Tautai looked a real handful.

Look forward to watching him.

I was at the game tonight and Tautai was fantastic. What may not have been picked up by watching it on tv is the noise on impact in both attack and defence when he goes into collision. Very good footwork at the line as well.

He looks a real handful, and does his bit defensively. Over 100 m every game, probably something we haven't had from a prop for a while. http://www.superleague.co.uk/matchday/player/6334

i hope he turns up to training late at least once so he gets a haircut. Looks a solid player who is a handful but doesn't have a weak defensive side that usually comes with that kind of player.

Very happy Tautai will be with Wigan next season. Was superb against Wigan a couple of weeks back and great again tonight.

is this possibly what was alluded to when we signed Josh ? Didnt Sw or IL state that there would be another old boy returning before too long ??

I think speculation will come around pretty often about Tomkins but I doubt he'll be back anytime soon. He's still trying to hit his best form and he's a competitor that wouldn't give it up until he's proved his worth IMO.

I'd love to be wrong.

Also heard the same.

My source is the MD of one of the long term commercial partners who are linked to the club. Obviously not gonna name the company but they are very closely linked to the club.

I hadn't really thought anything of it up to this point.

IF and it's a MASSIVE IF that's been dipped in the biggest pinch of salt ever, there's any chance he's coming back I hope he takes the vacant 6 shirt.
