Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Re: Frank Paul-Nu'uausala Signs : Thu Jun 23, 2016 8:12 pm  
I'm going to reserve judgement on this one. He has been very good in his career but seems to have dropped away drastically recently as many of the Kiwi players tend to do.

I'm optimistic and think he could be exactly what we need dynamic line running aggressive Prop, but it is a bit of a risk.

At worst he'll add competition but I'm hoping for a lot lot more. He's always been a prop I've liked and he's been exactly the type of forward we've needed for a while.

If we can he close to our first choice 17 on the field at some stage we're going to stand a fair chance of competing in finals.

I'm basing my view on entertainment value, I'm sick of looking at numbers and stats. This guy is entertaining, in a team sorely lacking I welcome him open arms.

Ah, good taste!
What a dreadful thing!

its OK having guys like TT and F P-N who can break a hole and slip a ball, but we have to have people following up. This is an area we are especially weak in. And even if the hooker/halves are following up, the lack of pace in Smith and Powell means that we would struggle to exploit the offload.

Think the main thing for Islanders that come over is building friendships with other Islanders so they settle in quickly. Look at Manu, Pritchard etc that have signed for Hull, great players and all mates. Hopefully if we sign TL he'll introduce him to the other Leuluais who are seemingly mates with all other Islanders.

I'd have rather had a younger, more mobile player like Fifita. Just watching him tear the Giants a new one. :)

If it's immediate does that say we currently do not utilisthe salary cap in full?
If it does that would surprise and disappoint me.
I don't know anything about this guy whatsoever therefore, if someone could point me to some video clips of him I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Re: Frank Paul-Nu'uausala Signs : Thu Jun 23, 2016 10:36 pm  
I like how quick we are getting our business done this year. We know who is leaving (Sarginson/Charnley) and we are wrapping up deals quick (Burgess/FPN) with possibly Tommy to come.

I would not grumble if that was our business done. If Crosby goes to the NRL I can't say I would be too fussed. I wouldn't want to lose John Bateman.

Staying as it is:

Sam Tomkins
Dom Manfredi
Anthony Gelling
Oliver Gildart
Joe Burgess
George Williams
Matty Smith
Frank Paul-Nu'uausala
Mike Mcilorum
Ben Flower
Liam Farrell
John Bateman
Sean O'Loughlin

What a team! Probably a bit weak at centre - who is available though?
Matty Smith rumours that we are looking to offload him. Who would you have instead? Luke Gale? Benji Marshall?

If we got rid of Smith I doubt we'd sign anyone. Probably TL to 7 and Powell interchange hooker with the messiah before he got crucified at Cas Hampshire backup half and Shorrocks as backup backup. Although I'm pretty sure Smith will be on our roster in 2017.

Yep I agree with most of that, my team would be

Sam Tomkins
Dominic Manfredi
Anthony Gelling
Oliver Gildart
Joe Burgess
George Williams
Thomas Leuluai
Frank Paul Nuuausala
Mike Mcilourm
Ben Flower
John Bateman
Liam Farrel
Sean O'Loughlin

Tony Clubb
Taulima Tautai
Joel Tomkins
Sam Powell

Matty Smith will probably play scrum half next season, but my thinking is if we are to sign Leuluai, Matty Smith could be on his way out, who knows
