I'd say Fifita is the biggest player we've ever had at nearly 19 stone but may be wrong on that. No I don't, not even close tbh especially if we do sign the 2 players rumored. Read an article last year about biggest/heaviest players in the NRL and Fifita was ranked about 5th, 6ft 4 & 120kg similar weight/height to the Burgess Twins, Russell Packer & Shannon Boyd. Only Mose Masoe was really heavier at 130kg. Obviously size isn't everything at all but if they're SL standard and are fit at that weight, we'll should have some of the biggest Props in SL, which won't do us any harm at all next year and will hopefully give our exciting back line chance to play a bit and score plenty of tries.

Think he is on Community Service leave, Wakey council are using him to mentor children in Cas on how to steel cars, drive while drunk, avoid arrest, take drugs, not take responsibility, get the best out of benefit system, getting tasered and beating up the police. Wakefield council want to make sure that the skills set in Cas is not diminished.

And he learnt most of those skills whilst at Wakey.

Craig was in our local club on Sunday night with some of the Lock Lane players. I had to do a double take as he is the slimmest I've seen him for years.
He looks more like a back rower now so maybe thats the plan. Great signing if he stays fit.

Fingers crossed he is coming and is as fit as you say he looks. The squad is beginning to look really good, which obviously means we'll end up being dreadful and get relegated.

I wasn't kidding mate he had a tight shirt on so he looked impressive. Still got the beard though.

So we have the possibility of some of the biggest forwards in the league and some of the fastest backs. If this comes off and the team gel together then they could worry a lot of clubs

Just a note of caution here - neither have been confirmed as of yet!

Exactly. I just hope it isn't yet another wind up!

IIRC the Huby rumour came from a Cas fan

Whether these signings come off or not the point stands,
We've got a big pack, super fast backs, one of the best half backs in the competition and another halfback that a top 2 club wants to sign

Happy days
