Code13 (he tends to get the things he doesnt get wrong right ) said we've signed Bridge.

Tangi Ropati is coming down from Sheffield. From what I've seen he looks to have real quality in all areas of his game. He will come in at right centre.

Must use that line myself sometime

I suppose the signing of Ropati isn't as underwhelming as Wilkes and James. Yet to be confirmed though.

Because we don't have the cash.................is it that hard to understand? Really?

You are the most negative person I have never met and that really is saying something. You always post negative thoughts without ever offering an alternative. It is easy to criticise from afar, but not so easy to offer constructive alternatives and therefore, your posts like yourself are simply a waste of time.

We don't have any cash but we can afford to sign deadwood like Matt James. As I have previously said, the £25k+ given to James could have been added to a decent offer for a decent player. Such as a half back. Which is a far more critical issue than signing ANOTHER forward.



I am praying that the news of Chris Bridge is true and not just a wind up.

I was at first, but you have to look at it this way; limited resources on our part, he is an improvement on the knackered Gafa of 2009. Ropati is agile, strong, a good reader of the game. Anyone who knows anything about the Queensland Cup knows that the back-line play is right up there in terms of quality with Super League (big call!). I'd back Ropati to be a success with the Quins setup. Sheffield fans were raving about him all year, we were not the only super league club keeping an eye on him. I'm backing him to get double figures next year.

Deadwood? Seen him play have you, or are you just becoming Rupe2 for the heck of it?

Great....let's go down the Scott Hill route again and pray that he stays injury free as he sucks up a large chunk of our funds.



What Chris Bridge rumour????

I hope you are right!

is that in tries, appearances or negative reviews from Rupe 1 and rupe 2

I left it open because he also kicks goals as well. We have to keep our expectations on signings fairly low because they normally walk out [urlhttp://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sport/wolves/wolvesnews/4634390.Fa_afili_cleared_to_return_to_English_rugby/?ref=rss[/url on a contract or end up back up players who only get a game when the first choice are busted. We normally get a few with the likes of Henry Paul in 2006, Rinaldi, Melling and Orr in 2007, Howell and Ward in 2008, the solid Golden in 2009 mixed in with the likes of Bannister, Barker, Grayshon, Nanyn, Tootill, etc.

Did they ever tell us what compensation we got for that? or did we just announce a signing before it was completed and get shafted?
