Do you think? He was in good form pre-season and scored twice I think? I’d be surprised if they let him go.

I think that ship has sailed.

In truth I don't really understand all the clamour for him in actual fact. His second stint was pretty unremarkable.

Indeed - we should be aiming higher than Mikaele. He did a, relatively, good job but I'm not sure he'd float Burgess' boat.

Burgess had plenty of time to sign him up again but didn't, so i'd say Mikaele is history now.

If you believe the reports we were still hopeful of signing him in the offseason, so I assume Burgess was interested in him, we just couldn't free the quota space in time - no idea if that is fact or not.

If we signed Mikaele again there is one song that would be perfect.
The Commodores - Three times a lady.
"Your once ... Twice...Three times Mikaele"
It's almost like Lionel Richie wrote it for this situation. Worth signing him just for that.

Ritchie must be a wire, with Endless (Toa Kohe-) Love and (Kevin) Penny Lover

Let's hope his good start to the season doesn't now go in to reverse!

Surprised. I thought he’d be looking for a return to the NRL. Where does that leave Thewlis? He’s a better fullback than winger. Hope he doesn’t choose to leave.
