Not seen a rumour on who is leaving though?

Junior Sau for Pauli Pauli. Makes sense for both clubs. Salford lacking in forwards since they lost BMM to Warrington. Wakefield lacking a centre with Tupou and Arundel out . Three quarters become MCB Sau Lynne BJB.

I don't think that's bad for us.
PP is a luxury that Chester seems to not be enjoying right now and we need extra bodies in the backs.
Sau will ease some pressure and get us that yardage that Tupou used to get.
Assuming he unseat MCB or Kershaw which right now isn't a given.

I think Chezzy has just run out of patience with him, his perceived laziness and laid back attitude is getting worse. Shame as there a destructive player in there when he wants it, maybe a change is what he needs to shake the malaise.

As for Sau he is a proven quality player but has had his injury problems recently. If he is over them then he is a shrewd acquisition. It also means we don’t have to over-expose Kershaw or rush Tupou back.

I'm wondering whether this indicates Bill T might possibly be further off returning than we first hoped? Sau would be a quality signing.

Chester has always been pretty public in his criticisms of Pauli in a way he maybe hasn't had to be with other players. Could well be he's pushed his luck too far lately.

Just hope it isn't Huby back to Cas and we have Minikin, Not that i don't like Minikin but wouldn't want to lose Huby and theres a guy in the chipy wears he's Elvis.

Signing Sau until the end of the season would make sense but I personally wouldn’t if it meant Pauli going the other way...

We’re maybe looking ahead to that big quarter final and thinking will that left edge of MCB and Kershaw hold up? They’ve been excellent so far but it’s a big ask of Kershaw at this stage of his career...

An edge of Sau and MCB looks much stronger so I could see it...

Pauli has potential for me though and yes he’s had a few poor efforts of late but I think if you judge him on the season as a whole he’s done more good than bad...maybe the fact we’ve been unable to rotate the big lads through injuries has had an impact on him?

Re: New Signing : Tue May 14, 2019 3:07 pm  

Pauli is a big lazy pudding and I've never rated him...

That's how it works see - easy!

Re: New Signing : Tue May 14, 2019 3:09 pm  

Rumours on Salford Devil Talk forum, is now that Pauli has signed for them. I cannot find anything official anywhere, just have to wait for any official announcement.

Re: New Signing : Tue May 14, 2019 3:16 pm  

Was that a pun at me Acko.

If so, sorry can't help you, the body still a temple and not been anywhere near a chippy or any other fast food establishment for a long time. Even alcohol free at the moment too. The last bit killing me though at the moment.

Back to the post, and seriously, don't know.
