Why did we re-sign Tonga?

A few people have asked this question in passing but it probably bears taking a closer look/ guess at. RS said at the time Tonga had dedicated himself to rehab. That does not seem a valid reason. I presume he must have got a positive long-term medical report. (That did not look so good when he went out injured after a couple of games).  I can see a fit Tonga would still have something to offer.

  • Bernie, it was a shocking ,desperate signing, that defines this club, just a basketcase.

  • See how he goes with a few better players around him next year
  • Gotta re-sign somebody.

  • Do you think our half-time entertainment might be Tonga doing rehab?

  • How many games has he played since he signed from NQ?
  • His departing gift

  • I thought Tonga only played the one game then as soon as he re-signed he was injured again....how is that a positive long-term medical report? His re-signing doesn't surprise me know its obvious Stuart wants the Eels to fail.

  • I asked the same question, just another "head scratching" dumb fuck decision, and the club wonders why we are in the situation where in!

    UNBELIEVABLE!
    • I fully agree Ed, u have pretty well summed up my thoughts on Willie Wonka.

If true it will be sad to see him go. 
My bet is we don't sign anyone and just promote from within."
