Watched Horo against KR, didn't impress much,but if true hope he goes well for us.

Tbf nobody looks good at Catalan this year - I wouldn't judge any player on that.

True Vasty,

Especially the ones who know they are leaving.

Welcome to the club Justin Horo

I thank you (along with KevW)

Hello Wakefield fans, congratulations on this season and commiserations about your last 2 unlucky defeats.

Horo is Superleague standard-unlike some of our team- but I have got to say that he is much slower this year and that he has had a lot of injuries during both years he was at Perpignan.I shall be rooting for you against Wigan

He can't be as slow as poor old Kirmo who virtually plays on one leg these days. If he can get by and he does then Horo should be fine

I was starting to think Kirmond was getting his long stride back. If Tim Smith were here he's got more gaps than people.



Equally I can see him moving to ptop one day.





As for Horo we need tackle busts more than speed. He has speed to burn outside him.

Nah he's not got the build for it to wiry imho

Jesus, you trying to cripple the guy?! I don't see that

I knock it's a stretch and he'll probably retire at second row but Peacock looked like him when he started playing prop.

I haven't got the stats but I reckon Peacock is a much bigger man.



Think it's worth remembering that Kirmond started life as a winger and imho has always been a bit lightweight even in the back row.

I think you may want to look all the way back to ~Page 5 for the first mention of his name FIL

4 inches taller and half a stone heavier - and an altogether different player; Christ knows what a season at prop would do to Kirmo - but I wouldn't want it on my conscience.

It was just a passing comment.

The way we play we need big robust props so of course he wouldn't do it now but not all props are built that way.

Okay....a threesome it is then

I think I'll leave you two to it

The name Pauli Pauli was being brandished around the local chippy tonight.



Don't know if there is anythung in this.



Not seen a great deal of him, but hes a big unit.



Any thoughts?

One of Tyler Randals pals maybe?



Not seen anything of him since he played for the Eels (2015) he had an excellent season then though

A quick Wikipedia check says that he was at the Newcastle Knights in 2016 but was involved in a serious car accident in January 2017. After recovery 2017 was spent playing for the Newcastle reserve side getting back to fitness until he broke his leg in July 2017. 48 NRL appearances in three seasons.

Assuming he's back to fitness could be a Wakey type signing, a young bloke (23) with something to prove.

That's last time I saw him play, saying that didn't have Premier Sports in 2016 so makes sense. I remember him going to be the next big thing for Parramatta and he's a huge wrecking ball of a forward, with a decent offload. If there's anything in this I hope he's gotten over his injuries because there's no doubt there's massive potential there, like was seen in his first ciouple of years in the NRL.

that would be a great signing ! we should try to if possible

A positive statement???? I think your account might have been hacked

Well if it is Pauli Pauli thats a top signing. He has had a bad year with the injury to his hip in a car crash in January and then when coming back broke his leg in July. He has left the knights so if this is a goer bring it on, he is a really nice lad too when speaking about the road accident and the impact on him and his family. www.newcastleknights.com.au/news ... pauli.html
