Mau and Fonua announced as soon as they had signed even though the Mau signing took several weeks to get over line.

Yeah, we probably have several ongoing irons in the fire. Often you get names from left field so we're probably seeking the optimal mix with plenty of new recruits already committed.

What's the latest with the union trialist we've had? Armitage?

I wonder if the success of Naulago will prompt the club to go down this route more often, especially with the salary cap benefits it brings.

I think Radford alluded to the fact that he expects a lot of Reserve sides next year to have some Union trialists. There are a lot of players in the lower leagues or reserve structures that would be a good option, it doesn't mean they are bad players that they are not 1st teamers in Union, it might be that their skillset is more suited to League.

Also, I don;t believe the Ligi Sao deal can be done yet. There would be no reason not to announce it with him not getting game time (albeit surprising to the Warriors fans!) at the moment

either that or we are waiting for another potential 50 - 0 hammering so we can announce the next signing on the back of it

Surely not, he's coached by an aussie, can't possibly be true.
