I wouldn't mind another overseas winger if it was Alisano Tuilagi

After Jarryd Hayne he's possibly the 2nd most current favourite at the Eels and one of the top props in the NRL so would command a ridiculous figure for his next contract.

Wishful thinking.

Difference between Petersen and Utai is that Utai is a proven International with NZ and Samoa and if i'm correct a Grand Final winner.

Petersen was a proven NRL player but didn't he actually arrive carrying an injury?

I notice that JK refers to Work Permits rather than Visas, this leads me to think that he`s talking about players with, or who could obtain, EU passports, a la Stosic. Will a Maltese passport make a player eligible to play in SL, subject to a Work Permit?

Thought they'd had a fight when I saw the link

Possibly as Michael Vella holds a full Maltese passport.

i wonder if its a old overseas player who as matured and learned abit down under and fed trained and a wakey lad as in matty wray who plays for mossman and port douglas sharks...........just a thought,it could be a red herring for work permits etc

Matty Wray LOL



Have you been drinking ?

its athought it could be someone like him...Kear might think he can do something with him ......when he came thruoght at wakey they was an injury crissis wich prompted his first team action... this was just athought nothing else because when he played for us i didnt think he was big enough but he still put vanicolo on his butt...................................................

hands off


but he has several brothers n bigger than him apparently.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Don't you beleive it!

I would be more than happy with Matt Utai, hard as nails and Senior is terrified of him!

Are you not thinking of Steve Matai, Utai is about 5'1"

anyone got any gossip about these couple of players JK mentioned?







really can't wait to find out who they are.

Perhaps one signing is one we already have, or at least till next month?

Willie Mason is available, as is James Graham by all accounts.


Prop and secondrow problems sorted for 2010. Easy.

I bet Fielden would have a word with immigrations

Mason will end up in Japan no doubt another career wasted.

Would love to see him in SL he is a prat but he is a character, and i think we are lacking a few. Awesome player despite the baggage he brings with him. Can just imagine him getting turned away from Icon on a Saturday night for being too drunk........would there be enough bouncers in Wakefield to cope?

They got so sick of fighting with Fritzy them put him on the payroll at rooftops!
better to fight with that lad than against him!

That all went down after Nige Wright got done over i think, Fritz and Geoff Bagnell went down and "had a word".

Heard an awesome story about Brian McDeromott and the Buzz bouncers after they tried to turn him away.

Half the Wakefield players were on the Door at Boons in Horbury when Dennis Beacraft had the place and turned it from a rough hole to a good pub. Was it Dave Wood played centre Aussie (think he may have killed himself on his return to Australia) had a fearsome reputation about Wakefield for his time on the Door getting rid of the element that once frequented that pub.

Ah the old Woolpack and Mousetrap bar run by Albany Longley and son Karl, happy days.

Learnt a few tricks in that place
