Sumover. Could be a new east stand chant.

I bet he's a little wrecking ball of a prop.

Anyone know anything about the kid? Can find nothing about him at all!

I think he played for Port Moresby.

I posted the other week about enoch and how Stan and Makka thought very highly of him.

The though of a PNG prop reminds me of when we first got Macca.
I can't remember who it was against but Macca took the ball up from a kick off and got a 30 meter run up, A player on the other team figuratively pooped himself and moved out of his way.
It wasn't so much as cowardice by the player more a case of self preservation as I think he was trying to hit him side on and let Macca's own momentum take him down when he was unbalanced but Macca was traveling at such speed the player ended up tackling nothing but fresh air.

Security being beefed up at East Park.

On You Tube you can get highlights of the PNG competition. If you put in Digicel cup you get some highlights and local news bulletins. Enoch (great name) will be on them somewhere. You'll have to check which team he plays for. Just google him. It may be the Vipers but I'm not sure. Think he scored a couple in the semi finals. You may get highlights of the PNG v Aussie Presidents team too.
Doubt if you'll get a lot of footage though.

Adrian Lam said he would easy slot in to the NRL so he must be pretty decent, he prob will just need to get up to SL speed and fitness and will be fine them PNG lads are as hard as nails. imo

Looking at the picture of him in the HDM he looks like he needs to lose quite a bit of weight to get upto SL fitness.

Be interesting to see how he goes, will he be a Stanley Gene or a John Okul?

He'll be in better shape than Feka.

I would take either, John Okal was a fine player who never recovered from a terrible injury, H e would have been as big a ledgend as Stan in my view.

it would have been interesting to see how good John Okul could have been.

Doubt it looking at feka's photo

Lost a lot of bulk, but when he dos that he seems to loose his impact as I recall, I'd hazard a guess that whatever shape Enoch is, there won't be much flab among it judging by most of his countrymen.

So he's either too fat and will only be good for a five minute stint or he's in top shape and will lose his impact ? That's not just aimed at you Dudley it's all we hear about him from your red n white friends

time will tell on feka and Enoch I suppose ..... Roll on next season aye

Probably why he ended up at a french second division part time team.

Just going by the impression I got when he slimmed off at Wigan, I think it was when Maguire arrived. Did more minutes, but lost the sheer wrecking ball style he'd previously had. My only concern is that while he's slimmed off, it sort of spoils the 'Fat Feka' nickname a tad.
There's an element of risk with both signings, but when you look around the league were not the only 2 clubs taking risks, sign of he times I guess.

We're as the 2 png players are coming from what league ? Seriously I haven't a clue were there from ??

Looking like saints have had the best recruitment compared to rest , Salfords look a mixed bunch tbh great halfs if they can click

Saints for me as well luke walsh is a terrific player who is a great goal kicker as well.and masoe and of course chase.For me as it stands they are the only team what seems to have improved their squad significantly,though i do think we have as well,any thoughts ?

At least get your facts right, he played for limoux in the top French league, which will be a better standard than playing part time in the PNG league like your two new signings.

The two PNG players currentley pay for Rabaul gurias and Mendi Muruks, who are both semi professional.

Yes but ours are young and could be great we're as feka was at the top of his game 6 years ago and has been going downhill ever since so I know who I would have rather signed

How do we know they're young?

How do you know? You had never heardvof them until yesterday and you have never seen them play.

I can understand rovers signing keating and seaman etc, but these unknown part time players could potentially restrict game time to players like salter, cox and green.

With signings like these its no wonder Rovers take so much stick from other clubs for signing so many overseas players.

For the record, I am am not convinced by the signing if Feka, but at least he has played at the top level, not part time in a unknown league.
