The Voodooguru Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Awesome news, let's hope both visas are processed quickly. Welcome to Town to both the lads, won't be long before they are eating XL and saying "Eh" after every sentence.

He said 3 or 4 before these 2 were announced but they're assessing the severity of our injuries before committing to any more. A prop in the Tyler Dickinson , Jamie Acton mould is top of my list. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Churchill Drivers Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Apparently the Tongan prop was going to Salford on a £50k contract until they pulled the deal as they thought they had sufficient cover in that area. The guy is still keen to play in England in an attempt to get noticed and the agents were letting all clubs in Championship & League 1 know that he was prepared to play for much less than what Salford were originally rumoured to be paying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A former Haven director told me at the barrow game in the 1895 cup game a few weeks ago that Haven where chasing a Tongan prop but it was all about getting a visa and obviously the coin . Said he would be the best prop in the championship. I wonder if it's the same one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
