Don't think there needs to be any nastiness in the game. Just play hard and be tough and uncompromising. Look at Peacock for example, he isn't nasty or dirty and he is amongst the best forwards of his generation.

Agreed.

Think Carvell will do that for us.

When you read the above article it appears that it would be a very risky signing. He says he wants to stay there and he has hardly played and thought of retiring. What a massive gamble that would be. He should stay where he is if he can get a contract as his heart may not be in a move to somewhere else.

The kiwi I have heard we are signing is not Ropati

I think you're going on an old rumour about Robbie Paul coming back.....

I thought the same hen I read the article and by looking at other things that have been mentioned, if we are seriously looking at signing a overseas who hasn't really played for 2-3Yrs, has a terrible injury record and seems like they don't want to leave, I would really question our player aspirations.

Ropati rumour falls in same category as asotasi one. Totally made up load of rubbish.

I agree Mat and neither of those came from me

Just a thought, is it Anthony Gelling? Cook Islands international, and plays at centre. And he is a (Wigan) Warrior.

That's a credible thought.
OOC 2013 if the 2014 option is not taken.
Young - 23 for next season
Decent stats apart from 2 errors per game
Struggles to get in the Wigan side - only played in 11 this season.

Might just be the type of player FC has been said to be looking for.
