2019 signings

[DavidM]

If you’re talking about Fui’s discipline then Acton makes him look like Mother Theresa . Total headbanger !

[town4me]

I'd have fui back. Will still do a job in C1 and as someone has said he's unstoppable near the line. 

[bobg]

If Fui comes within the budget I would have him back no problem, did well for us last year and should never have been sent off at Bradford imo, at our current level he is a great line breaker and yes plays in 20 mins spells but games are turned our way during that time. 

[GeordieTownie]

You don’t get an extra game ban if you shouldn’t have been sent off in the first place.

Hes got a reputation so will get bigger bans going forward.

if you get a player who misses a quarter of a season but plays less than 60% of the minutes in the other 3/4 is that good value?

Read the report it's laughable and watch the video at worst it's inconclusive.

Ridiculous, the video clearly shows the Referee waving play on in the first instance from within 10 meters and only when consulted by the touch judge who was 30 meters away and not with a clear view of the tackle,and he probably put pressure on the inexperienced referee,then the action was taken.However water under the bridge now onwards with or without Fui

I’ve watched it on numerous occasions. Whilst it was a hard tackle it was also dangerous.

He wasn't mentioned in the fans forum was he? 

I doubt we would be getting him when there is other forwards we have targeted apparently they appear still to be free agents.

Yes he was,Leon said the board were talking to his agent and Leon wanted him in his team..?

Well someone agreed with you but I can't. They've gone too far in dumbing down the greatest game.

[Billypat]

If it was a super league game it would have been shown on baz and Terrys biggest hits .offside yes .hard yes dangerous not in my honest opinion

The report was a disgrace, it pretty much admitted they think there was nothing wrong with the tackle but they weren't sure, so we're just gonna ban him anyway, useless tossers.

[GeordieTownie]

Well the lad had a broken nose so I’d say it was high. Possibly a clash of heads but still dangerous.

But I agree they’re taking the fun out of it, although not to the extent they’re doing it with union.

Bring back the biff.

[IanMac]

Interesting reading the town review of 2018 in times and star saying there is at least one more ex super league player expected to join. Let’s hope he’s a good un.

[havenhater]

I expect it to be a forward.

A half back would be better

[havenhater]

Agreed but it seems Leon trusts in Jamie and Carl.

[Carlisle1921]

Agree about the small squad, too small for this time of year, though there is 5 loan players coming so that'll boost the squad short term but would still like a squad with more of our own players.
