Loko Pasifiki Tonga requests immediate release

Sign the bloke. He is very similar to Sam Tuivita. Both played u19 origin blues together. He ran for 200m+ last week in nsw cup and still didnt get called into their side lol. Unlike the other duds from the DT article, this bloke is young and heaps of upside.

  • Nobody wants to come to Parra that's of any value because it's been a basket case for years! Only players that arrive are either almost retired or useless anywhere else

    • They came to the 3 time spoon winning Tigers because Shane Richardson could sell ice to an Eskimo  & Mark O’Neill couldn't sell water in a 🏜 desert 

      Richardson made 3 huge marquee signings when the Tigers were an absolute basket case

       

      • Jarome Luai (from Panthers) – the big one, long-term deal
      • Sunia Turuva (Panthers)
      • Terrell May (Roosters) all have made a massive difference to leadership, quality of player and playing style.  If Mark O’Neill had brains Terrell may would be in a Parramatta Eels jersey,  but who did we get , Jack Debelin  How o'neill is still at Parramatta is astonishing 

       

      • Luai was the catalyst to getting the likes of Turuva, May brothers and the likes. They overpaid for Luai but what he has influenced has been worth it. Similar to when we signed Foran in 2016, Scott and Jennings signed. Foran also signed with Watmough coming here in 2015.

        Sometimes it takes one player and others think "Well if they are going there, so will i."

        • Then why is nobody coming to Parra now De Belin, Kelly and Pezet has signed 😂

        • and others think "Well if they are going there, so will i....it's like a kebab shop or Chinese restaurant, you don't eat at the empty ones. Being empty means other folks are letting you know it is garbage

          • I remember being in Bali Randy, lined up lobster reaturants on the beach at Jimbarren Bay, they all looked full and booked out..... don't worry everyone, I found one where we can get a booking I said.....my family & friends never appreciated the cost associated.

            Personally I didn't mind much, I had the fish! LOL

  • Dragons has rejected his request for a release. Maybe if our R&R team is on the ball, they can request Dragons to loan him to us and he plays first grade. Both sides win for the time being. Then if our R&R team is good, maybe they can make something to happen to convince Dragons to let him go ( which I doubt they will do).

    • this maybe more smoke & mirrors by the Saints, in a bid to extract someone from the eels or other club interested in the big fella. hes signed with saints until end of 2027 by looks of things.

      i do agree with you though that loaning him out could help the dragons long term, if they do keep him. 

      • We have one Zac Lomax we can offer them.

        • What about the cash we picked up on the Lomax exodus, i.e. it doesn't matter what bucket its in now, we know its not cap....actually legal fees but hold your mouth correctly and it looks like we are paying transfer fee to the Dragons based on that payout, obviously what ever we are paying the Loco is cap, the transfer not.

          Make it very attractive to Loco and he can be a lot more aggresive with his masters!

          When negotiating or trading there are always counter and counter counter offers.....sounds like we need to be quick and assertive.....I am not sure we have anyone that is quick and assertive other than JAC and I am not sure how assertive he is......now here is an opportunity for the MON haters!

          PS My wifeI could negotiate this, just requires a reverse "filibuster" she's a bit like me, stubborn as a mule! LOL
