Any guesses as to what Faraimo earns in comparison to Fonua as its all about getting as much from the cap as possible.

Feel abit for Fonua as I feel he's a much better centre than winger, his main strength is popping the ball out for his winger. But with Griffin and Carlos it was always abit if a waste of cap.

Probably is, one is on contract and one isnt.

Signing Fonua basically seemed to be to stop Cas getting him

George Lawler to Cas according to a couple of reports, three year deal.

That’s what I heard. Lasty advised against it, but Radford didn’t want it to come back and bite him by him playing for another team.

Lots of noise coming out of Cas and Dobbins on who they are after.

I’m happy to quietly go about our business, and announce the deals when they’re done.

Fonua has definitely improved recently but still not the player he was during his first spell.

Shame would have been a decent squad player, but not the end of the world.

Still think prop and wing are our priorities.

Davies looks like he is staying, so I'd look next at one of the Innes brothers.

That's unless the club thin Harvey Barron will be ready for a few games next year.

Davies would of been a good acquisition, I think he left because he wanted game time at Wigan, and as things have turned out with injuries to Manfredi and Marshall, I bet Wigan are regretting that outcome, though Bibby, and his solid performances, will have softened the blow.

We still need to give our Fijian lad a run, I’m quite excited to see what he has to offer, though with away games, and difficult fixtures looming, there’s no easy baptism for Mitch.

On a separate issue, I just get a feeling something is not quite right at the club, Allams related as usual.

And all who are finally going back to the KC on Monday, beware SBW train line crossings are shut, and Anlaby road will be terrible with traffic,

I’ve just been to the KC for my final jab, didn’t see if the train crossing closures go into next week.

Agree its a pity Davies looks to be staying in France but I'm sure the club and BH have a plan in place and will know who they want.

With regards to Mitch, I too am looking forward to seeing what he can do.

I think the traffic will be a mare regardless and couldn't believe Darren Hale stating on radio that the cycle lanes and increasing bus lane operational times which has cut the main arterial routes from two lanes to one hasn't had a detrimental affect on traffic flow in the City

.
According to him its no worse and we have just forgotten it was bad before lock down, what an absolute numpty and condescending , why anyone voted for him god only knows.

Anyway off my soap box now

Darren Hale, even though he’s a southerner, he is/has been a rovers pass holder, and I’m sure he is presently orchestrating and assisting his team, try and acquire their own ground.

Whilst the council seem to be hamstrung in matters, when it concerns the bullying tactics of the Allams, in regards to the KC.

I don't know when he became a wovers fan? He was an nal supporter when I worked with him. Maybe he just wanted to keep it quiet knowing I was an fc fan

He’s a nice guy Isaiah isn’t he, he dealt with a planning appeal for me probably twenty years ago now, deffo one of them.

Top bloke very level headed and he should get the top job for me; Arsenal fan as well!!

Glad Lawlers gone to Cas - theres something i just dont like about him and hes no better than what weve got too

Karl Harrison's lad now signed for Wire .

Interesting that Mau has been offered around Super league by his agent, guessing its pressure tactics to get a better contract offer from us as Hodgson as said he wants to keep him.

Has to be for the right wage for me, I don't think he's pulled up trees. Certainly wouldn't be paying him a huge amount.

I wouldn't be rushing to re-sign him either, we need to have a good look around first to see who's out there. He's been steady but compared to those who came before him he doesn't measure up. Overall a little disappointed by him.

On reduced deal maybe, if he leaves them we need to replace him, which might not be that easy. Unless we are looking at moving Griffin to the backrow

I'd hazard a guess we've offered a reduced deal with his agent put the feelings out elsewhere,interesting to see if he can get a better deal elsewhere.

I'm sure Hodgson and Ellis have a good network of contacts Incase we need a replacement.

Did Mau come over on marque wages? I know once upon a time Kelly and Houghton were our two on marquee wage. Obviously Houghtons had another contract since then which was probably a reduction hence the Toronto links before they went under.

that gives us the option of keeping Faraimo

I think most of us have been disappointed with Mau and lets not forget he has had several injuries during his time here which have kept him out for several weeks.
We saw what he can do against Catalan and apparently is regularly near the top of metres covered on the pitch at around 8 km per game.
The fact that his agent has offered him around then it seems likely he may be leaving but Hodgson likes him and he is well respected at the club so who knows.
Personally i would like to see him here next season.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts. I like Mau and think he is a very good player but we just haven’t seen the best of him and If I remember he’s also said as much. I think on Monday we saw a much more Mau performance.
As DaveK & Rocknrolla69er I think said wonder if it’s a reduced and the club are now offering what they believe fair based on performance over his previous deal. His agent will obviously want the best fit him but the fact his agent has done so I think gives an indication he may well be off at the end of the season.

I really hope not, having two expensive quota wingers is poor use of the cap.

He certainly has not lived up to his nickname in the NRL as the "Tongan Terminator".
