Oh boy another great signing, we are certainly pulling no punches this year.

What a headache picking the backline.

you said win SL

we are capable of GF success, but I am not bullish about it.

Well what do you think winning SL is?

Brilliant signing he can do stuff that no other player in our squad can do.
I can’t see Swift wanting to come to play 4th choice winger when he’s 3rd choice at Saints.

Winning SL is just that, top of the tree after the weekly rounds, that is why we have the League Leaders Shield.

But the team that wins the GF are the champions.

The regular season is essentially one big qualifying process. We can debate whether that should be the case, but that's just facts.

No, they are YOUR views, not facts by any stretch.

Who are the current champions, Wigan or Saints?

I know what the record books say.

The clue is in the title “League Leaders Shield”. Super League has weekly rounds and play offs leading to Grand Final Winners. It’s been discussed far too often on here.

Wikipedia says Wigan, but that is Wikipedia. Anyway, each to their own.

So happy about this.

Indeed, back on topic, great news, take it his foot injury isn't a cause of concern, which is good.

Great news, Wellcome back Mahe

What does the governing body say?

The champions are the ones who win the Grand Final. That isn't an opinion, that is a fact.
The League Leaders the ones who finish top. That's all.

I’m ecstatic
Truly

Like I say, I disagree, but anyway,Mahe...

I wonder what Swift thinks. He left Saints for first team Rugby and could end up being 4th choice here.

Makes his signing even more strange.

I’ve got a feeling Fonua will be played at centre. Although in replace of who? Is Kelly leaving and then Connor to 6? If so that would make things a lot let complicated. Although I’d hate to see Kelly leave.

I thought he left because he was homesick

He did but that was 2 years ago

Left because he wanted to be closer to his family didnt he? To help support him and his wife and child.

Exactly what I thought. You'd think he'd be trying to get out of this deal after the signings we've made... especially if we sign Ratu for next year too.

What are our forwards looking like next year?

Someone mentioned Carlos playing loose forward. What about Kelly? He's a far harder runner. Or Connor? Good defender. You've got 3 pivots then.

I'm concerned that we won't have the forward power to take advantage of the amazing backline we now have.

Is this shaping up to be the best backline we've ever had in SL?

What’s changed
